I've been shaky on this piece since the beginning. I always felt the sculpt was off. I had noticed the freakishly large turn signals on the helmet last year. Maybe it's just the pictures, but I feel like the cod piece's shape is off, too. Like, it's too angular. What blows my mind is how some of the details have regressed from the original premium format figure from like, 2006. For instance, the darts on his right gauntlet appear to be molded into the plastic as opposed to individually set darts as they were on the original figure. Also, when you compare this piece to the recent Hot Toys 1/4 scale, good grief, they aren't even in the same class... First off, there isn't that much of a price difference ($30 whooping bucks...) but their attention to detail and craftsmanship far surpasses Sideshow's.
I've heard Sideshow wants to focus more on their own IPs (such as Court of the Dead), so I think licensed products like this are a way to just make some quick cash from an existing fan base. With any luck, they'll lose the Star Wars license soon to someone who actually wants to produce high quality pieces.
