Really digging mine. The only complaint I really have is that the floating belt is paper thin. Also likes to float around all over the place.

Looks great here.Not a bad figure
Bringing me back around on this one.
I think just a little work to give the body a more natural form would work wonders.
I’ll plan on an itsy bit of padding the shoulders, traps and lats.
Olyphant has a swimmer’s physique so, despite being very slim and lean, he’s still got an athletic and strong upper body.

Edit: generally really like this figure. It captures Olyphant’s physique and appearance quite well. Shame there aren’t more hand options. The clothes will probably need a bit of water treatment and dirtying up. And as usual the holster is awful.

Same for me and also for Peacemaker. Got both.

I finally received my figure of Cobb Vanth. Took a while to make it to Europe, but I was in no rush. I've been on the fence about keeping the pre-order after the final pictures came online, but I'm glad I did keep it. It is one of those figures where it's very hard to capture the likeness on camera, (I tried my best) but to the naked eye it's there. Maybe not 100% but definitely close enough.
Overall it's an amazing figure with some really nice tailoring and a bunch of cool accessories. I'm very happy that the Fett armor is removable. That went straight back into the box because I wanted to display him in his more western look. Fits both the character and the actor. I loosened up the scarf a bit and used a very tiny bit of blu-tack to stick it to the shirt and give it a more natural look.
Enjoy some crappy pics:

Looking pretty sweet.
Mine arrived too but haven’t opened yet. Your pics are making me think I probably should keep him- or at least open him and display for awhile.
I’d advise swapping the blu-tack out for some low tack masking tape so you don’t end up with oily residue leaking onto the cloth.

Thanks for the advice. I will do that!

Looks great! I've been a big fan of this figure since I received it and you're absolutely right that it's miles better in-hand than photos. Something about the lighting in a photo really washes out the sculpt details. I'm a Fett freak, so I left the armor in place but definitely love this look as well. Just finished Justified for the third time and was reminded what a great gunslinger TO plays!
When I bought this one, it was a pretty generic "I like the character/actor" sort of thing. Not terribly excited and it sat in a box for weeks. After opening and displaying him, I have to admit that he is one of my favorite figures in my collection now!

Finally got this guy....I'm liking it.
Like the other "Mando" figures, Cobb Vanth really comes to life outside. More shots later.

Some more of Vanth on "Tatooine"
Well, I'm out here a few more days. I'll try'n get some more shots in. Hope you folks enjoy looking at 'em as much as I do taking them. Figures really come alive out here and Cobb is no exception.

Here's another series of shots before I'm whisked back east. Really enjoyed playing with this figure out in the rocks. He really came alive out there...
Well, that's it for this trip. Hope you all enjoyed!

Nice pics. I think this figure might be the most slept on figure of the year.

I received mine yesterday from TBA, which was surprisingly cheaper than all of the options listed on eBay. I have yet to take any photos, but he’s a great piece!
I’m kind of on the fence on how to display him. My original plan was to remove the armor and display him in his BoBF (
) appearance, but man… he looks so cool in Boba’s armor. It doesn’t help that I’m an absolute Fett fanatic.
His unarmored look is pretty good if you keep his arms close to the body. As-is, the shoulders are very broad and arms very skinny so he comes off a bit weird. Tucking the arms in close seem to alleviate the issue a bit. The bandana is a pain to work with, it just wants to bunch up and sit unnaturally on the chest. The headsculpt is pretty nice, I know some folks aren’t a fan of the likeness but it seems better in hand for some reason.
The clothing is highly detailed and probably the best part of this piece. The little greebles on the pants are crazy and I’m honestly impressed with the level of detail HT put into it. The weapons are nice too, I particularly love his AK-derived rifle and while I originally intended to pose him with his pistol, I couldn’t help but include it.
The base is spectacular. I was surprised that they included such a detailed and unique base with Cobb Vanth of all characters, but here it is.
Overall I would recommend this guy. He looks cool in any collection, be it Mando or SW in general.
