Cobb Vanth Hot Toys Star Wars TMS084 Review (updated with Part II, 2 January 2024)

Great looking figure. I think the likeness is strong.

I'm glad you liked him. I think he is still recovering from his injuries in a Bacta Tank (or whatever it is called). I can see the resemblance to Bad Santa, but this is Sheriff Santa, and I'm not sure he'd be quite so inconsiderate with the ladies.

Thank you, I thought so too.

Excellent idea, let's hope he regenerates in a bacta tank in Boba's new palace. Like I said, I like the supporting characters the best. HT should make more of these than a fifth Obi Wan, Luke and so on. In the SW universe I love the countless alien races. I celebrated your Rodian singer.

Thank you very much for remembering Gridney! Well... she is unforgetable, but even so! Anyway, in that case you might really like this thread, with more to come.

For anyone who was looking for parted out parts, this was just posted on Monkey Depot.

Excellent review. It's a great looking figure. I had heard the head sculpt wasn't that great, but your pictures make it look really good actually. So that's a nice bonus really.

I'm impressed with the acid etched look of the paint on the armour. Very cool effect to get that heavily worn appearance.

Oh to be full of funds, and just buy all the cool figures released.

Thank you very much, I'm glad you liked it. Honestly, the head is even better in hand than in the photos. One reviewer thought it was impacted negatively by the somewhat grayish teeth, and there may be something to that. But I think it is very fine anyway.

The weathering/damage on the armor is superb, and Hot Toys has always been very good about that, but here it gets to do it with panache.

I feel the same way. I've been trying to rein myself in, and still spending far too much.
