1/6 1/6 Tusken Raider Hot Toys [The Mandalorian]

Mine has finally left Hong Kong, jeez that was a long wait.

I got charged from Timewalker the other day finally, but no shipping notice just yet.

I think this figure is awesome and am very happy to have him in my collection. Highly recommended.

Been thinking about what to do with Tusken #2, because he'll probably be here early next week.

Testing the Mandalorian Tusken's outer robe with a makeshift belt on my 'tailor's dummy' looks like it can be fashioned into the ANH Bantha rider's style of wrap over robe.

i.e.,

It worked a lot better than I was expecting, though I don't know what'll it'll look like over the stock inner robe. It's not as voluminous as it should be, but there's more material than originally appeared because some of it was formed into what look like ironed-in pleats.

Really hoping HT makes the Chief and the Warrior, and a Massiff whilst they’re at it, I want a space dog.

Hard to know which way Howard will jump with regard to TBOBF.

He was looking forward to the opportunity of making OT characters that appeared in the new shows.

He has the opportunity to make OT characters whether they're in the show or not, he just isn't taking it without the hype of D+ to back it up.

I think Lucasfilm can also influence the line's direction. They could say 'hey support the new show with X amount of releases.' They still have to approve whatever they do.

 

[Hoody999]

I'd say they often make 3-5 prototypes, and wait to see how a show or movie goes. (depending on licence of course). I'd say for Mando they probably had to make more proto figures when they realised how much of a hit it was.

I don't think Kuiil and Blurrgs would have been on their original slate. So we'll see how BoB works out I guess.

id like a ROTJ Bib Fortuna!

Hoping Hot Toys makes the Tusken chief and female warrior at the least for this show.
2 of my fav new designs,plus that scene where the female warrior rides the speeder bike into the train was pretty epic and I like her to go on my Mando Swoop!!

If they did Bib Fortuna, knowing HT it would be Fat Bib from the last episode of Mando and not ROJ.

Ughh. I hope not. That just looked atrocious... The elephant man...

Quick wardrobe change & pose for those wondering what the boba cloak looks like on the tusken

FINALLY in at Popcultcha!!!!
Thank F!!!

Tusken #2 arrived.

With this one I wrapped the outer robe under the belts in the style of the ANH bantha riders, though it isn't really long enough or full enough:

I also tried him quickly with TLJ Luke Hologram's robe for a more Bedouin look, but the robe would need to be futzed more if I kept him like that:

 

[Asta]

The black robes aren't doing it for me.

Tuskens are Sand People. I think they look best blending into their environment in sandy coloured clothing.

 

[Asta]

I wasn't happy with the lower half of Tusken #2, so I made him a background figure so only the better half is on display...

That actually looks really good! Your whole display looks great. I get what you're saying about the sand people blending in with their environment. However, the black still works as a look. Could be a different tribe, live or travel in the more rocky, mountainous regions or be materials taken from a raid and adapted to clothing. It looks cool and sparks the imagination in a Mythos kind of way.

Dang it, where's my Tusken?

Who did you order from? I got mine yesterday from KGHobby after sitting at HK airport for nearly a month.
