Funny, when I first started collecting that OG Tarkin was available for the longest time, I was tempted many times but didnt want to get into Star Wars 1/4 collecting as I thought it would take over. The one moment of restraint I have showed in my collecting journey!

Thanks, I am really happy with it. I was fine with a semi-caricature looking portrait, but in hand I think it captures his look from then very well. I was surprised at that actually, as I was expecting it to be more of a take and not so faithful. Ill take some better photos when I have him set up in my statue room eventually, but I needed to check for damages and thought Id get some pics to post!

Yes, really happy with it oveall. I need to give his fur a fluff when I set it up for real, but happy they made this one and that he has been added to the collection.

Thanks, I agree. I am one of those that likes the mixed media and think everything works great! The tailoring is top notch and its just a fun piece to add to the setup.

Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

Very nice new figures have been added to your collection. Congratulations. You are really lucky if you have a space to display them all easily. Unfortunately, I don't have any space left in my room

I was initially against all mixed media but I think it works sometimes. It definitely works for this P. Cushing piece. The Boba Fest PF from 2011 looks good as well.

Yeah, I had to wait a long time to have a house with a room I could dedicate to this hobby, and moved my collection back and forth overseas multiple times. I just need more shelves so I can set up the rest.

I particularly like it on movie pieces. But the OG Superman I happen to love the Mixed Media, in fact I wish I had bought the custom fabric caps way back then. Too often sculpted costumes look like body paint, but I get when they don?t get it right it has a pajama effect. Not such a problem with movie characters though.
