Hot Toys Grand Moff Tarkin

[DioramaMaker]

Maybe the hands are prototypes and have that +10% molding shrinkage size accounted for.

That image is taken from a fairly low angle, making the face seem shorter. Other pics seem to show it better and more evenly proportioned.

In this pic, HT's Tarkin looks more real than RO Tarkin

 

[Wor-Gar]

Sculpt still looks astounding. Everything else can be futzed.

I wouldn't care if they shrunk his hands to Leia's size..just please shrink those freakin sleeves

Do you think if someone wraps the cuffs with elastic bands the sleeves will cover it

Tunic sleeves are too short. Hope they add some length.

I don't know if they add anything but here are my pics from yesterday:

Thanks for those pictures. Looks fantastic.

 

[Jaycepticon]

Yep:

I REALLY miss Toyfare Magazine

 

[guyver1]

Yep:

Shouldn't this be in the HT Anakin thread

 

[jkno]

I can definitely see Tarkin on the right now

 

[guyver1]

Can someone photoshop out the cuffs as well. I'm curious if that's all I need

 

[guyver1]

...and that's how he turned into Snoke...

That would be huge

I always thought Vader listening to Tarkin was a mystery

Tarkin: " Enough of this!..Vader release him ..Immediately! "

Vader: " As you wish "

WTF

Nah that would fully emasculate the Tarkin we know and love, a bad ass who ordered Vader around.

I get what you're saying but no thanks lol

 

[Aliaz]

Oh god no, that would suck!

 

[TonTon]

Yeah, plus he doesn't have that great accent.

Yes that would not be a good move, lol. Tarkin = Snoke is the feral kid turning into Max all over again.

Actually this had nothing to do with Snoke. I just couldn't understand the relationship between Tarkin and Vader to this day

The PT really made it look like Anakin didn't care about anyone telling him what to do. He thought he was stronger than the freakin Jedi for god's sake ..how can Vader answer to a man with no true physical power .

Vader never shyed away from choking out any imperial officer when he had the chance..

 

[guyver1]

He's not Snoke

Tarkin called the Force and Jedi a " Religion " right in front of Vader

why would Snoke tell Hutz that Kylo " needed to complete his training " if Tarkin didn't believe in the Jedi

 

[generalgrevious]

neither did han solo.

I believe at least in terms of rank, Tarkin outranks Vader. Before the Death Star was destroyed, Vader had no official position in the Empire and sometimes Palpatine would place Vader under the command of high ranking Imperials. In the current cannon, after the destruction of the Death Star, the Emperor is pissed at Vader and places him under the command of General Tagge (the one Imperial in ANH who warned Tarkin and Motti that the Rebels were a greater threat than they gave the credit for) for a time being. Eventually before the events of ESB, Vader is upgraded to supreme commander of the Imperial Military which is why in ESB you don't see any Commanders (except Admiral Ozzel) give Vader much additude.

Also Vader I believe had at least a little respect for Tarkin since they fought in the Clone Wars together a few times plus I believe Tarkin was one of the few who knew (or at least suspected) Vader was Anakin Skywalker.
