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.

As someone that loved mcfarlane toys, I usually go for the sculpt over articulation. I know that is not popular. But it is my preference. I also compare him to the 3.75 scale Rancors I have and I just do not feel the value. Normally gaps don?t bug me, but on a huge toy like this, it makes him look like he has on a hood.

This will always be the problem with black series VS vintage collection. World building in 6 inch scale is tough for many and impossible for most. The price doesn’t scare me. The foot print he takes does. I can have an entire Jabba’s palace scene with dungeon in 3.75 scale to this one behemoth. That maybe awesome to some but space is more an issue now than ever before. These giant toys are getting really giant.

That all said, I hope it funds. It will be terrible for the brand and haslab going forward if it doesn’t.
