    One of my favorite POTF2 figures was Tarkin, so this release has been highly anticipated for me. The cape on Darth Malgus seems to be of thicker material. Why we didn't see thicker material used here? Aside from that, I'm very happy we are getting him finally. I'm pumped for carded images.

    It wasn't that green.

    this is the old saga landspeeder situation again, it was one color on the set but looked different in the film, same with his uniform. I dont care if it was green, blue, purple, orange on the set, on film it looked gray, I want that color, the film color......

    That's exactly the way I see it ...

    Precisely!

    And I want him to coincide with his cronies that won't be remade. (Though maybe we'll see a new Motti since he's more prominent)

    Agreed, but with a caveat that may be bigger than I think -- I want the film color as long as it's a standardized color that works alongside the other Imperial officers. And I'd gladly sacrifice a bit of accuracy to get that.

    What I don't understand is that the Death Star Briefing set seemed to get this right -- nobody complained about Tagge, Motti, Cass and Bast's uniforms, and they didn't look weird next to Piett, Needa, etc. (Ozzel yes, but that's another problem.) And the POTF2 Tarkin looked like the right color. So what really baffles me is why Hasbro's gone backwards here.

    (Like Garven said. He posted while I was typing....)

    Aside from the skirt, I'm happy.
    I'd say this sums it up pretty well for me too.

    I watched the same film you did, and I always thought it was greenish.

    That cloth skirt is bad.... bad because its more mesh and stands out because the plastic top is smooth.... So I was thinking if this could some how be remedied by going with something like Pleather which is more glossy and solid in color. As long as the color matched... you could have more of a plastic look and flexibility without having the rigid plastic bottom.
