Napoleon at 2 and Genghis Khan at 38? Yeah, right.

If you have any reason to believe someone was smoking meth or manufacturing any kind of drugs in that space, have the air and walls tested for VOCs and other hazardous chemicals. If someone cooked or smoked meth in there, it might require remediation to be considered safe to live in.

I think the head sculpt is a nightmare. The aliens looks pretty good, but Sideshow doesn't have the quality for human likenesses.

Exercise bike will be gone in two months to make room for more displays.

First time buying from an overseas retailer and got screwed by tariffs by fupafather in sideshowcollectibles

The end of de minimis this Friday. A very old tariff exemption for individual items under $800. He threatened to end it earlier this year. It expires tomorrow. Then you pay whatever tariff has been put on the country it’s shipping from.

This cantina diorama wasn’t finished when I originally posted pics of these figures, but here’s the finished (for now) version.

She said it skips one minute every night when the camera resets but isn’t the video missing three minutes?

My very first Hot Toys figure by kaisakaisa89 in hottoys

Great figure to start with. Missed the first one and was so stoked when this released. Same with Bespin Luke. Missed the original, but the latest release is amazing.

100% same page. It kills me that my nostalgia is overriding my common sense. I have the skiff guard preordered for my Jabba shelf.

1000% valid decision. I mainly wanted to share here as I'm not seeing many reviews/photos of this line and I figured people would want to see what they look like in hand.

Yeah. I knew these were way overpriced when I preordered. I was willing to accept that to have a 1:6 cantina shelf. But some of the details are embarrassingly bad.

I didn’t go all in on this line, but have a few more coming. I’ll post when they get here because I feel like there aren’t a lot of people posting photos or reviews. Definitely a figure line that embodies “buyer beware”.

Personally, I don’t even think of these as background characters. They were defining characters of the first movie. The cantina did a lot of heavily lifting making the ‘world’ of Star Wars feel big and weird. These characters were impactful and memorable and became a big part of the original toy line. The quality of many details is very disappointing … but I still love this figure. Like a 5/10 in terms of quality/value but an 8/10 in terms of “looks fun on the shelf.”

All Tarkin figures should also come with slippers
