Well canceled my waitlist with sideshow at this point I doubt it would have converted.
And found a Tarkin for $270 shipped so I jumped on that vs the eBay prices.
Only had a little bit of time with him and he lives up to the hype. And is a solid addition to the empire.

Yea, not entirely sure why it's even a feature, I don't recall ever seeing that chest flap open. Sorry you have the same issue, I'm guessing this will be more common placed. And thanks to everyone for the glue suggestions, will attempt to fix this myself but not this week, here it's supposed to be 107 in a few days and I can't build models or doing anything with paint or glue when its this hot. Hoping more stuff doesn't start coming off like Velcro on the belt or the studs.
Tarkin with Vader on a custom stand I made for a customer.

Thanks! I thought about adding it somewhere but decided it might look out of place. I make a separate stand for it though.
Thank you!
Thanks!
They’re $22. I could never find the right diameter mounting post for it so I just include a modified pole that’s a bit taller than stock. I like the extra height on it anyways.
Regarding the magnet issue, I just used some double sided tape to keep it in place.

Great work on the stand Coco!

Anyone with the Tarkin/Vader set... does the Vader ribbed portion of the outfit feel a little gummy? I have this and the ANH Vader and the ribbed portion on the ANH is smoother and “drier” feeling.
Just curious if this is the expected texture and if anyone has had any issue with it.
Thanks.

Very excited to finally add Tarkin to my display. It seems we may be back in the ages of no Pre-Order and your off to eBay or other 3rd party sellers. I hope he is the start of other uniformed imperials at perhaps a one a year pace but something new to add to our cases.
The only problem with the figure in terms of reuse of the uniform for other Imperials is the weirdness of the fabric. It looks amazingly good but just seems like it holds creases in an odd way. It's almost like a chamois-type fabric that seems to "remember" creases fairly prominently.
Fortunately Imperials pretty much just stand at attention so I guess its okay, but even minor "Imperial" poses concerned me - I decided not to pose either of my Tarkins even just with elbows bent or sitting in the chair due to this issue; ie that otherwise you'd lose the crispness of the uniform and creases would be noticeable long term.

Yeah, I’ve never bothered to make a single pose. Kind of unfortunate. But it looks nice as you say. I’d probably buy a Krennic, and I know Veers is probably everybody’s #2 after Tarkin.
