Figrin D’an - #VC249

[RogueStar]

Looks great, I only wish this had come out when VC figures were around $10. Because I'm going to want multiples

Is he an all new sculpt? If so and he has rocker ankles & improved hips, he'd make a good base body for customs.

Edit: looking closer it seems he doesn't have rocker ankles. So probably not the improved hips either. Whose legs or body is that, then?

You guys think he'll be able to hold a gun? I'd love to put a vest and belt on him and make him a Rebel Commando of sorts

You can always use low hold tac or a small rubber band

 

[greedo737]

Yeah, blu tak is the best!

Funny you mention that, because it was always a bit of a challenge to get the POTF2 Cantina Band members to keep their instruments in their hands. The POTF2 release of the Cantina band had 6 members. And then the 30th Anniversary Collection Cantina band had 5 members. Both sets use the same figure as the basis for all of the band members.

But seeing the three instruments included in this set, it looks like Hasbro's paying closer attention to that aspect. As for the figure? I'm expecting more of the same for the multipack that was hinted at - the exact figure with different instruments.

In the mean time he can play Tim Cappello's "I Still Believe" by himself as one alien act.

I want to hear him do Kenny G.

Sounds risqué.

 

[Tulgah]

Okay. I guess that’s an audio file someone would want to delete, not unlike the map records of Kamino.

Dangerous and disturbing...

 

[tanksmasher]

Seeing the 6" Nalan Cheel makes me hopeful we'll see all the additional instruments in this scale.

 

[GrandAdmiralJSK]

Ya I was pretty annoyed that we got both of the TBS figures and all the accessories announced, but still TBD on the TVC extras needed.

i think it's the death star gunner.

 

[RogueStar]

Well, that sucks. Looking back at the hi res images a few pages back, I do see thigh pouches. I'm not always a fan of figures being kit-bashed, and this would be one of them. This one is better than POTF2, but not worth modern pricing, being kit-bashed.

 

[Decarbonited]

Any chance of someone 3D sculpting and printing the remaining instruments needed for these guys?

Part of me wants to believe they’re holding back the remaining instruments for a Mos Eisley Cantina playset, but I know I’m setting myself up for disappointment. I can dream.

 

[Tulgah]

I feel like the POTF2 instruments will work well enough.

I have a feeling they plan to do the same as TBS and have Nalan Cheel as a $26 DLX release while D'an is the basic release, then we'll possibly see a 4-pk with a couple other of the instruments. At least the DLX SKU gives me hope for an all new Max Rebo!

I'm not sure I would want to pay 4x normal price plus 3x deluxe price to get a full band. Got an older version already, so I'm not all that hyped. Anyway, since the multipack was already hinted at, I would prefer to get the full plans here before I start buying anything. This is not exactly a troop builder after all.

i kinda want to open my TAC modal nodes to get the painted instruments, but it's probably not worth it if we're getting updates later this year.

 

[tanksmasher]

It would be nice to see a cantina alcove for the band.

Not as nice as it would be to see a Haslab cantina for them.

 

[greedo737]

I have someone working on trying to 3D print the missing seventh instrument for me in 1/6th, 1/12th and 1/18th. When they release Nalan Cheel, I’ll have him try to make the drums in 1/6th and 1/18th.

For the most part agreed, but um

Yeah. Having seen the 6" Nalan Cheel and the instruments included in that Black Series Deluxe set definitely made it seem like the POTF2 and 30th Anniversary Collection instruments missed at least a couple of the instruments. The 30 AC set got the colors right, but the details on the new TVC and Black Series instruments are much better.



And then there's still the matter of the Hasbro team hinting strongly that a Cantina band multipack would be coming on the day that they revealed the TVC Figrin D'an.

 

[tanksmasher]

Look at those big ole clumsy hands. These new sculpts are going to look much nicer.

 

[MARK2D2]

Was there a pre-order for this guy? Did I miss it?

Thank you!!

My custom Modal Nodes using the TAC instruments…

If needed they can donate them to these new guys.
Also, I can’t wait to use the head & hands to make more Bith customs…

 

[Tulgah]

Your collection is second to none. Your customs are higher than that. For you, @Strobeeone, I have to coin the phrase “first to none.”

I'm staring at those bulbous upper leg parts, and Figrin's like "My eyes are up here!"

 

[TogrutaKing]

Damn, Figrin has HIPS!

 

[lister]

I'm staring at those bulbous upper leg parts, and Figrin's like "My eyes are up here!"

"...on my head that looks like a butt."

 

[Caas_Sandhri]

The right leg actually looks detached. Can't imagine that this is the way it's supposed to be.

He doesn’t have the benefit of a long shirt or tunic to hide his inverted muffin top.

 

[Strobeeone]

"...on my head that looks like a butt."

Had he been released in the original Kenner line…

 

[Strobeeone]

It does look like that, which is actually possible due to how easy the legs can detach from the ball post on the new hips.

 

[Masterfett]

I've noticed tis on a couple figures, and while I like the new hip articulation compared to the old hinge I do feel it's tooo easy to remove. I should need to use hot boiling water rather than them being at room temperature.

 

[Tulgah]

Figrin’s body reminds me of my aunt’s in the ‘70s. You know the type. Turtleneck and hips. It’s every elementary teacher I ever had.
