Hasbro will be releasing a Tusken Raider figure in the 6" line:

Who's going to be buying this? Thoughts on this figure?
 
Actually, that subheading on the package is just another language translating 'sand people'.
 
It looks like the vintage cards says 'Sand People (Tusken Raider)'.

The box version might just say 'Tusken Raider'?

I dunno, but with the packaging, this Sand Person looks so GREAT.... and let me guess, its going to be super hard to get him by himself. Ugh
 
So is it going to be possible to just get a 40th Sand People by itself and not order a whole case?
 
I got the 40th carded one and mine has straight eyes. Fantastic looking figure. Glad he's coming boxed cause otherwise he would have stayed carded. Now ill just get the boxed one and leave the carded one as is.
 
I feel like this has been the most difficult 40th figure to find (besides R2)... I've found multiples of the rest of the Wave 2 40th line but never this guy... anyone else seeing this trend??

Only wave 2 40th figures I have ever seen in store are DSC and Jawa in my area. Never seen any Tusken at all (40th or standard release)
 
Are poeple still having issues finding these (or getting online orders) with crooked and wonky eye tubes? I may order one from Amazon prime (non 40th version) but I am afraid of getting one with screwed up eyes since I cant see it first if ordering online.

I ordered the BS version from Amazon and it was perfect... kinda hard to stomach the $40+ that Amazon is asking for the 40th version though.

Just noticed you're a fellow Marylander as well - we're probably competing against each other in all the retail stores :)

Haha :D well if that is the case you have found all of the good stuff. Only decent thing I have found at retail lately is 40th Han a couple of months ago at Wegmans in Abingdon and $30 clearance Target R1 3 pack in Aberdeen...

I ordered two of the Black Series version (not the 40th packaging), and both were perfect.
 
I got the 40th version and he has perfectly straight eye tubes.

I seem to remember someone posting a fix for the wonky eye tubes though, I believe in the other thread for the boxed figure. The eye tubes are apparently separate pieces and can be pulled out and re-inserted.
 
I have an extra mint 40th Stormtrooper if anyone wants to trade for a mint 40th Tuskin... :)
