Yep, looks accurate to Mando. I do prefer the originals though and very happy with the SS version with a body swap. But I?ll get this one to go with my female Tusken... I had hoped to see some females in Mando. But I guess in some groups they might just dress as the men.

Looks great to me. I don?t have a SS so instant purchase for me. I?ll replace it with an ANH version if HT ever gets to it.

Yes, no competition really. But I guess they looked like this in Mando. The narrow head and small close sitting eyes just aren?t as cool as the old version.

Yep it'll do. A bit of variety next to the SS version (if you have it) is fine for me.
The additional weapons etc are also a win. That SS rifle is pretty basic looking. Not sure if it's accurate or not ? Could be I suppose.
I guess it's definitely time to change my signature note.

For me it's all good. I mean they're pretty difficult to mix up as a different character.

As someone who can barely tell the difference between Vader, Stormtrooper and Boba Fett outfits, this is more than fine for me!

I?m also fine with it since it will make some variation with the SS.

Meh...the ss is better. I think we all would have preferred the anh version. The outfit is too tailored and clean. Oh well, I guess it saves me money. I will buy one to hang with my ss. If it was an out of the park anh version, I would have bought a squad. It is not hot toys fault, it is how the tuskens were on the show.

Agreed. They don't look right to me, only because the original has been burned into my brain since 1977 and this time, I can't appreciate the changes the way I was able to for Rogue One Stormtroopers.
I also can't understand what the logic behind the design changes may have been. They were capable of emulating ANH and chose not to for some reason. Mysterious ways and all that.
My guess is they didn't include females due to them having a bit of visual similarity to a Muslim burqa. Several articles in the past month have pointed up the parallels between Sand People and Arab tribesmen and that Mando's sympathetic and more nuanced portrayal of Tuskens was "righting a wrong" that was present in the OT. ie. how Sand People were depicted.
Given that type of thinking, I don't think Disney would want to see Tusken females in Mando - just too risky it'll be taken the wrong way.
I assume they had PT costumes available to them, so used them - Mando seems to not want to spend much creating new costumes, esp when there's a ton of pretty decent fan costuming out there, as well as leftover stuff from the PT and ST.
I always think the neck scarf is a strange addition to the Tusken - just has a bit of a "fashionista" look to me, like a Tusken teen went of to the city and brought back a fashion trend.
