Well it's confirmed that we'll be seeing Mosep Binneed in the Black Series 3" line.

Who's going to pick him up?

Well for one thing is the figure the 3 inches or the 6 inch Black Series.

Those recent pictures are horrible.

You can freakin tell which figures are the regular 3 inch figures and the 6 inch Black Series figures.
 
Very happy that he has finally been revealed. I will definitely be picking up a few.
 
I had no idea who the hell this guy even was until just now. And I agree with above, it's hard to tell from the pics what is 3 3/4 and what is 6". There are claims that the Jawas are a two pack for 3 3/4 scale, but looking at them next to 3PO, they HAVE to be 6" scale. They are huge and tower over him!
 
Count me soooo in. He looks awesome! Now I just wish I could fast forward time and get him now! Also definitely getting some of those Jawas and the Han Carbonite. Wish the Emperor and Leia Boushh were 3 3/4 too, 'cause I'd be a buyer on those as well if they were.
 
Awesome...he's been rumored for ages, so I'm excited to finally see an actual figure of him!

I think this guy is spotted walking around the streets of Mos Eisley, but is he even in the cantina?

He's in there in the last second of the scene, sitting at a table as Han walks toward the door:

(sorry for the dark & blurry pic)
 
So Hasbro finally combines all the best Imperial Officer parts (minus the gloves and head of course) from the last few years to make the perfect Off...er cantina alien. Hasbro continues to baffle and confuse me. Don't get me wrong, huzzah! they're finally making this guy and getting it correct. But why can't they ever use those parts to make a perfect Imperial Officer, instead we keep getting those blasted Death Star Trooper legs again and again.
 
Mosep can be seen in a few spots but also in a lot of publicity and/or behind the scenes shots. Anyhow anytime they want to make figures like this one I'm a guaranteed buyer.

Also, I just found the pics on one of the other sites where you can see the Jawas in relation to the shrimpy C-3PO and I'm still pretty confident that they're 3 3/4. If so they're awesome and long overdue. Don't forget, that C-3PO is just a production figure and the Jawas are prototypes - there will be some shrinkage of them from prototype > production figure. Really happy with what they've shown, just want Dignitaries, Yak Face, Reegesk etc etc
 
I can't help but be ecstatic over Mosep. He shows that there's still a glimmer of hope that perhaps someone in Hasbro's ranks is still willing to throw us a bone every now and then.
 
No lie, he's the reveal I'm most excited about.

New cantons alien! :)
 
He should fit right in with all the other scum in a cantina scene:

I'm so excited about this one, best reveal ever. Love that he's an all newsculpt. And he doesn't have a shrunken head. Love it. I'll probably have to get two, so I can customize the extra into the other guy in the cantina of the same species. Love to see more all new never before made cantina patrons. Thank you hasbro! Now just get the product out there!
 
Awesome figure!!! Another outstanding effort by Hasbro. Glad they made the cantina head version...I always liked the whispy white hair over the red-headed version seen walking the Mos Eisley streets. I wonder if he is short? In the movie, he appeared to be small in stature.

Hard to believe it's been 3 years now since we have gotten any cantina patrons. Especially since we got 18 from 2005-2011. Hopefully we start getting one or two every year again. There's a good 20 I still want (re-sculpts included).

No he isn't short there is that BTS photo of him with other cantina aliens and he is kneeling down.
Its great that they made this character, we don't get many new Cantina Aliens and they are always welcome to me.

I totally forgot about that pic! Yep, he looks normal in height. You know who looks tall and that I always thought was super short is Reegesk. I suppose that is because he is only seen sitting down while inside the Cantina. I guess the only cantina patrons that were truly short were Rycar Ryjerd and Kabe.
 
To quote a famous '70's TV show, Dy-no-mite! Superb news re: Mosep Binneed - I'm all for obscure aliens from the OT, and this is one that is clearly seen in the cantina scene. Great choice, and it's obscure figures like this that keep me collecting these figures...
 
Obscure OT aliens always catch my interest as well, so this is a great choice - likewise, its an unmade species which is a bonus compared to some less interesting rehashes over the last few years.
 
My God what a brilliant looking figure!

And for the record, I always thought Reegesk was really short too and that there were two Ranats running around Mos Eisley (Reegesk and the tall One - which may still be the case but now I'm having doubts) It could just be that since the beginning of time for some reason people have been customizing Reegesk to be super short. Anyhow, he's been near the top of my want lists since day 1, and I'm still waiting.
 
Thrilled for this figure, and just a little sad that the Hasbro of the past would have had a running change with the other head like they did with Endor troops and the Dignitaries.
 
YESSSSSS!!! (in my best Napoleon Dynamite voice) Finally some new blood for the cantina! Looks like they went a little light on the articulation, which is fine by me. Just keep turning out quality sculpts of cantina/palace goons and I'll bite every time!
 
At last we're getting that legendary cantina patron. Among all other background characters from the cantina released in the last decade it must be in the fans top three.

I think because he is also seen sitting down at a table most of us always assumed he was rather squat. When Hasbro makes this guy, I kind of hope he is normal height.

Is it clear if parts are being re-used? That could clue us in to the height. At a glance I would say possibly Tarkin or Thrawn's upperlegs, but really it could all be new (haven't seen that collar before), so it's not totally clear to me.
 
It kind of looks like the upper arms and upper legs are reused parts, but the lower arms, lower legs and torso look brand new.
 
So I get to nitpick cuz I'm a Cantina collector. Face looks a bit strange, and top-knot looks too wide - be interesting to see what that looks like from behind. Doesn't look awful though. Personally I would have preferred the other one with the short hair, but as it's a new OT alien, especially from the Cantina, I'd take either.


Now this pic was the one that accidentally mixed up their names. I've long associated Tawss Khaa with the white hair and the top-knot and Mosep Binneed to be the 'younger' looking one. Suppose it doesn't matter in the long run. Plus with Disney demoting all the EU stuff these guys could both be renamed Bill and Ben at any time.

I'll be getting two of these guys for my Cantina in the hopes I can modify one. I doubt they'll release the other guy as aside from the head there's virtually no difference between them. Shame really. They should have done the other Nimbanel with the short hair, and saved the white-haired one with the top-knot for the one in Jabba's Palace who has a totally different outfit. That way we could have had Mosep and Palace-guy without Hasbro worrying about two similar looking characters, and the white-haired Cantina Nimbanel could then have easily been accomplished with a head-swap.
