A figure of some old guy having a staff meeting is the GOAT???!!! Yes!!!! I paid a few bucks to get this one on eBay and he is awesome.
Haha love it! “some old guy having a staff meeting” 🤣 when you put it like that… But yeah, great figure isn’t it! Thanks for checking out the video 👊🏻
Absolutely stunning figure! I can't believe I sold this off years ago. I'll definitely be buying it back again as soon as I can afford him
Argh yeah I’ve heard from quite a few collectors who sold him on not long after picking him up. I mean it makes sense at the time but we come to regret it later on!! I hope you can reacquire him at some point! Thanks for checking out the vid 👊🏻
I have made peace with the fact I will probably never have Tarkin on the shelf! Incredible figure. Top vid mate!
One day mate! Could be reissued 😀🤞🏻👊🏻
Stunning figure, would love him.
Nice video again Chris, thank you 🙏🏻
Thanks Mandy! Cheers for checking out the vid! 😃👊🏻
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱how much . A nice figure loved the pens and chair ,face sculpt epic 👍 sadly let down by the Action Man wrists 😠.
Yes bit of a crazy price nowadays! Cheers for taking a look at the vid 👊🏻
A grail for Star Wars collectors for sure . U can’t complete OT without this guy although it’s a rather simple figure . But that head sculpt .. one if the best ever for sure .He was immense in his presence in the movie. Another figure that nobody wanted when released and now is going double the price . Awesome review as always mate
Agreed, definitely a simple figure but like you say his presence in the movie is immense and I think this translates really well in shelf presence! Thanks for checking out the vid mate 👊🏻
Oh man...if only I could find this one at a REASONABLE price... Yours looks great!
Yeah prices are wild! A reissue would definitely help in this case tbh. Would be good to see updated body, uniform, hands etc and maybe they can chuck in the movable eyes! 👊🏻
Absolute GOAT! I had to get a second one because my first one sat in the chair too long and the uniform on the back got discolored and the pants at the knees wouldn't snap back. Simple museum pose for this now.
Wow good to know, cheers mate!!! Would be gutted if the uniform got ruined! But yeah agree museum pose definitely best for this figure! Cheers for watching my friend! 👊🏻
Awesome figure! Enjoy this series looking at older releases! Honestly impressed with how good this figure still looks.
Cheers Jim!! Thanks for checking out the video and glad you like the series mate! 👊🏻
Beautiful piece, likeness is amazing. Missed out on this one unfortunately. Great video mate, cheers.
Cheers Paul, thanks for checking out the video mate! 👊🏻
Hoping for a rerelease...I miss this figure...I was a dummy that got rid of him early in my collection. Yeah I know, biggest regret. Enjoy my friend, great piece!👋
Ah gutted you sold him!! 😢 Yes fingers crossed for a reissue at some point! 🤞🏻 Thank you for watching mate, I really appreciate it 👊🏻
Such an amazing thing to have in your collection. For any original trilogy collector, imperial collector, or just a Star Wars collector, this is something special to own. Those of us unlucky enough to not been in the hobby when he was released can only dream of owning him.
TK "On the shelf, my eye is always drawn to it." Can only imagine. He must make you thrilled and impressed every time you look at him.
Think that is excellent advice you give about buying him separate from Vader to reduce costs.
Thank you my friend!! Yes picking them up separate definitely saves some cash! Although the Vader in the 2 pack is technically a 2.0 but I’m happy with the 1.0 Vader as a separate figure. Couldn’t really justify the cost of the 2 pack tbh!! Thanks for checking out the video 👊🏻
Great figure one of hot toys best, amazing how well done for the age of him, I have Kaustic Plastik Dr Van Helsing coming this year along with Christopher Lee Dracula so interested to see how this Peter Cushing headsculpt compares to this hot toy goat? Love the look back to the OG figures , keep them coming😀thanks so much have a great night and as always excited for more content 👍
Very cool! Let me know your thoughts when he arrives (and Dracula)! Interesting to see the younger style head sculpt tbh! 👍🏻 Thanks as always for checking out the video 👊🏻
1000 quid for the two pack is pretty steep mate! I didn't have a lot of money when either of these were released, so that's why I don't have 'em. Vader is an imposing presence, but c'mon, Tarkin held the leash and he's the boss! Nice review as always!
Yes, at that price it's definitely too steep, thats why I never picked up that 2-pack, just crazy money! Thanks for checking out the video mate 👊🏻
I am so glad I was able to get the Tarkin and Vader two pack it’s great looks cool in my collection. Will definitely do a new collection tour. But lots of people do reviews I like taking pictures of the figures so might need to a new picture collection tour 2024. I want to stand out
Massive congrats on picking up the Tarkin and Vader 2 pack mate!!! Looking forward to seeing a new collection tour, a picture collection tour sounds like a great way to create something unique 👍🏻
@@TK421Collectibles thank you so much appreciated. yeah I did pictures last time for my other collection tour so might stick to doing that for this new collection tour
I’ll have to pick this one up one day when finances allow. I’ve bought quite a few older figures as I’ve turned my focus to OT figures. I never worry about re-releases as I enjoy the figures and if they announce a re-release it’s probably 18 months away anyway. My most recent pickup is the Sideshow Imperial Probe Droid which is awesome. It pairs up well with a couple of Snowtroopers and Snowspeeder Luke.
Pricey to buy older figures but worth it I reckon. I did the same, just took my time and picked them up when I could. Love that probe droid, congrats! 🙌🏻 👊🏻
This is one of the first Hot Toys I got....and at the time, I didn't even want it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 My retailer had the Darth Vader/Tarkin two-pack on sale and I bought that. I wanted the Vader, could care less about Tarkin. I was shocked to discover how much he was selling for on the after-market.
Great review, Chris.
It’s interesting to hear this, seems like a lot of collectors weren’t all that fussed about Tarkin to begin with! At least you didn’t end up selling yours! 😃👍🏻 Thanks for checking out the video my friend 👊🏻
@@TK421Collectibles I keep hearing the word "selling" in context with this hobby. Some day someone will have to explain it to me.
@@daniel_sc1024🤣🤣 oof! I tried it once mate. 1/10. Do not recommend!!!
Great video tk definitely a grail i want this one not sure about the goat tho lol
😅 Thanks for watching mate! 👊🏻
This figure is most certainly Hot Toys GOAT Status for sure! Need to acquire this one in the collection soon.
You are doing some proper grail hunting recently my friend!! I hope you can add this one to your epic collection at some point! 👍🏻Thanks for the continued support with channel 👊🏻
I’m still looking for right Tarkin to buy. Missed out on one recently on eBay that sold for £599 but I’m not wanting to spend over £400. That £1100 twin Tarkin/Vader set was the same seller…..Prices are high but is definitely a trusted seller.
Thats the thing with the higher priced figures, gotta be from a trusted seller really hasn't it or else it can be a bit of a risk! Hope you manage to find one 👍🏻 Cheers for checking out the video!
I got the Vader Tarkin 2 pack. It's definitely a better Vader than the first release New Hope Vader. I think that it's based on the Rogue One Vader, but I'm not 100% sure. It is a great set though,. I was lucky to pick mine up at regular retail.
Ah cheers for the info, I did think the 2-pack Vader was technically a 2.0. Good to hear you have the updated Vader, and you got the set for retail!!! That’s awesome, unfortunately I was too late to the game! Thanks for checking out the video 👊🏻
It's a quality figure, but I don't think they 100% captured him. You can tell it's Peter Cushing, (which is the main thing I suppose!), but I think the eyes are a bit off, and the hair is defo too dark.
Hot Toys could've added some carpet slippers in the accessories to give a bit of 'behind the scenes' authenticity! 😂👍
Edit: Actually, I've just watched your 2023 Collection Room Tour and I've gotta say, Tarkin looks *amazing* in that video! Just shows how these figures benefit from certain light sources!
It’s a crazily good figure, still standing the test of time too! 100% agree with you, lighting can play a massive part in how the figure looks, particularly with headsculpts!
Haha yeah definitely should have included slippers accessory 😅
Thanks for checking out the video👊🏻
I got the Tarkin and Vader Twin pack for Christmas 2019, 2nd hand, but Tarkin was never removed so was in effect new! Got it for the expencive price of £400 😲🤣Can't believe how much the pack would go for now. Oh my DX28 Vader is ordered (non holo but with all the damaged/new bits) should be here later this week
WOW £400?? Thats a bargain even for 2019! Love it 👍🏻 Congrats on the Vader too 😃👊🏻
This is my sort after figure,I've nearly hit the button twice on him but just could not justify the price ... I keep My eye open hoping I might see one cheaper or open to trade or even one without the Box or something
One will pop up sooner or later for you I'm sure mate! But I know what you mean, I passed up the Vader Tarkin 2-pack lots of times just cos the price was way too much than I was willing to pay! Good luck with your hunt!
Definitely need a 2.0 as well as Leia next year we’re getting a new Han so why not Tarkin & Leia.
Hopefully one day!! Would be great to see an upgrade for both like you say 👊🏻
Always awesome to see Tarkin, didn't you get this as a two pack with vader? I thought you did, because I seem to remember you having the interrogation droid.
I never get tired of seeing this figure on the shelf! No never got the Vader Tarkin 2 pack as it's always been out of my price range! The interrogation droid is also packaged with the original ANH Vader (which I have), so yeah you're right you will have seen it in a video or two on the channel 😃 👍🏻
@@TK421Collectibles oh I had no idea, I thought it was exclusive to the 2 pack, that's where I got confused. Yeah love the tarkin, like you though the pegs frustrate me and I can never get him looking good on the chair so I just have him standing.
Yes!! He always seems a bit slouched or leaning slightly whenever I try and put him on the chair! Glad its not just me 😅
Hi bud, I have the double pack of this figure and got it at a good price not long after released. ( £400) The main reason is that I am a BIG fan of Peter Cushing.
I grew up watching lots of his films.
Now I know lots out there say how amazing his head sculpt looks. Yes hot toys did a great job but not perfect. I see Peter there but it looks more of CGI head sculpt. Don't get me wrong I love the figure but the head sculpt to me is not quite right. However it does fit in with any Star wars collection and is a very sort after figure. The prices he goes for now are unbelievable.
Chris your video's are just fantastic and show everything we all want to see and your doing very well. So keep it my my friend and long may it continue. 😊
Woo congrats on picking that 2-pack up for retail!! I was too late to the game unfortunately! Very interesting to hear your points about the sculpt not being 100% there. Tbh I’ve not seen any of Peter Cushings films other than Star Wars so I appreciate you will have a much keener eye as to how it should look based on all the extra angles and close ups you will have seen in his other films 👍🏻 And thanks for your kind words about the videos my friend, I really appreciate it 👊🏻
