“….oh dear. I think I left the oven on.”
At best/worst, if anyone wants a “Rebels” style headsculpt they’ll have to hope for some 3rd party customizer to make happen.
The 3rd Customizer is on it, sir.

Just putting it out there for anyone who might be on the fence about placing an order - this guy is the next low stock warning on Sideshow.
Thanks to showrunners, I'm not interested with a GI that has moon face (in respect to their race). Otherwise, great effort from HT.
The final boss in Will Smith movie "I am legend" had more accurate facial features then what showrunners went for.

To be fair, the I Am Legend monsters were CGI.
But I get your point. Too bad they could not get Doug Jones, the only real life human capable of pulling off the look in practical makeup.

If Pedro Pascal can emote through a face concealing helmet, they could have giving the GI a conehead and still got the same standard of performance out of the actor.
Aside from the odd masked off scene, Mando is a voice job for Pedro.
That would just make his head even bigger. I always thought the complaint was that it was too wide, should be more narrow to look elongated: something that is physical impossibly unless your name is Bruce Spence or Doug Jones. Did I misunderstand the ire of Rebels fandom?

And this is what he looks like underneath all that.
You still gotta fit a human face under all the prosthetics.

A massive missed opportunity for a fantastic character. This level of makeup with a bit of CG touch up and the voice of Jason Isaacs would have been amazing. Some decisions made with Kenobi really were baffling.

There is something mildly hilarious about that. This whole "low stock" thing on pre-orders that have no edition numbers is just plain stupid. More like, "Crap! No one is ordering this thing! Tell them we're cutting it off so people will think they are missing something and order"

It sure feels that way. I do remember the days of hitting refresh to pre-order a PF statue when it became available because they sold out fast! They were edition sized out of the gate though if memory serves. This does make me nervous as I had this on my "maybe" list. I'm not ordering it unless it's around during some of their BOGO or sale events though. If I miss it, I miss it.

This guy’s human head shape is more like the GI than what we got in the show.
I don’t know what you’re argument is.
Prosthetics to elongate a person’s head wouldn’t work because they’d still have a regular width head?

Speculation that his point was the Rupert Friend has a much rounder face than this guy. I get both points. More difficult to match the shape but still could've stretched things a bit with some effort. In the end, I liked the show and the GI well enough.

I've gotten used to Friend's Grand Inquisitor. But from the first time we saw him, I felt that they should've just had him in his helmet if they didn't want to go with the the established live action Pau'an appearance for whatever reason.
They could've made the face plate removable for dramatic moments. It already looks like it can flip up so it could've been designed to easily. Having the rest of his head contained within the helmet would've solved the issue.

Isn’t that the guy who flew the little helicopter in Road Warrior (Mad Max 2)? He has to be pushing 80 by now. Prosthetics aside, I think casting an actor who might still be alive for subsequent appearances in the role might have been a consideration too.
