I?m not much of a fan of its colors either...I know it will change as it would get to production, but the grey model looked better to my eyes.

The fact I just looked and it?s down to 4888 from a high of around 5140 or so is shocking, this has lost almost 300 backers. The Star Wars team better come up with something quick here. Because this looks like it?s going to fail. I am beyond saddened for black series collectors right now.

The Rancor has ears and I care about them...because??? Jokes aside, we're all entitled to our takes and preferences on things. I'm an articulation over aesthetic collector; my eye isn't drawn to gaps as much as it is to unnatural (whatever natural is for the Rancor) postures and positioning of a figure, or form. I like posing options and this fig amply delivers in that aspect. The coloring also looks accurate (enough) to the source material given how dark that scene was, with the only key-light being an opening in the cave/pit above. Bottom line for me, as someone who was ecstatic as a child about owning a Rancor toy in 1983, this shit is pretty dope and better by a very large margin than that favorite toy of mine from yesteryear.

As with Galactus, I get the sense that some collectors are finding persnickety gripes to rule out an expense that is outside of their comfort zone. Which is fine, living beyond one's means isn't a smart course of action in any circumstance. But, for what it is, Hasbro did an excellent job here with the Rancor, barring a couple of tier stumbles.
