Tarkin

[chris_1989]

Always wondered to myself when they originally released all the figures way back why they never made a figure of Wilhuff Tarkin can anyone shed any light on this?

Image rights were a problem for Cushing

Here are my attempts ... starting with the figure itself:

Then the choice for a cardback

I first went with the orange one because it matched the greenish uniform he has on that picture, that was way before the TVC one showed up.

After the TVC showed up I was thinking Hasbro is Kenner and they would've gone with that choice so I mounted him on an exact copy with a twelve back backside. Here he is with another one work in progress ...

Thank you. Yes, the POTF2 head is very close to vintage style and fits the old scale.
