what parts did you do for yours? i might go hunt them down
I think the helmet I used is the dirt-cheap Deagostini (frequently on eBay) not the more expensive/rarer Tomy version. I added a new emblem.

Jumpsuit's leftover Marmit version but if you're wanting the ANH version (with Vader-type pleated arms), you barely see the jumpsuit. I prefer the ROTJ version look mostly because of the POTF fig. A couple of the Hasbro jumpsuits are "just okay" to use, preferably Marmit, Medi or best if you can find them are obviously SSC (HT are good but a definite step down from SSC.)

My gloves are from the SSC Luke X-wing, but there's a lot of options to match that type of glove. And the boots are recasts of the SSC Rebel Fleet Trooper, but again - they are essentially German jackboots readily available on Ebay.

Belt is custom - it pays to cast the buckle and boxes of any SSC or HT Imperial you have - I've used these recasts over and over.
 
You never know. I believe he was only available in the two pack with Vader, which is what made him exclusive. However hopefully for people who never got him, maybe a reissue will come down the line.
I’m sure he will make an appearance in future films so a new figure isn’t out of the cards.

Nope, Tarkin was available separately first.
 
One of my favorite figures in my collection. Thankfully we got Tarkin before the influx of Disney + shows or we might never have gotten him.
 
Same. Is it just me or is this figure of the most common “I sold it and regret it” figures?

Seriously..I was selling him at one point a year or two ago because money was tight and some guy was hassling me over $15 despite mine being MUCH lower than every other for sale. He was just haggling so hard...I'm so grateful that guy gave me a hard time and decided to just keep him 😂 I remember that I only bought Tarkin because BBTS had the two pack on sale for like $400 AND it came with a $350 BBTS store credit and I wanted to order another figure from there so I figured "why not, basically a free set".

I did the same thing with the Finn/Riot trooper two pack. They were selling it for around $350 I believe with a $300 store credit bonus. It was a weird time. They had a TON of Hot Toys they couldn't move apparently and all had those extra Store credit bonuses

I have soooooooooo many Star Wars Hot Toys from when they ran that store credit sale.
It’s legit crazy how many figures ended up getting for free!
 
At 1 Point i had 3 of the single versions which I picked up for $300AUD when a few online stores were having sales in Oz.
Then found the 2 pack at a random shop in Sydney for under $700AUD.

Hot toys really need to get their Imperial Officers up for sale!

I have the single Tarkin but am still miffed at how they put the twin pack up not long after. By that time, I had already got a Rogue One Vader so didn't need another so soon. Great figure, regardless.
 
Considering they have the excellent headsculpt and the high ratings everyone gives it, you'd think Hot Toys would do a re-issue given the chance.

But maybe that's just my wishful thinking speaking.
