Oh COOL!!!
He is one of my favourite bad guys, just a really well thought out evil SOB with interesting body movements
Will follow along and see how Bandai did engineering this
Wishing you good luck in the build

That's an interesting one, with a level of coolness.
How big is the finished kit....My guess would be about 150mm. Am I close ?
Listen and appear wise

Hello Digger303, I couldn't find any specific dimensions with the kit, but the assembled cape will be about 140mm high, so throw the head on and I reckon you're pretty close at 150mm, maybe a little taller.
Also I forgot to mention a couple of things
1. Unlike all the other Star Wars Bandai kits I've purchased before, this one had the instructions in English as well, so no need to break out the 'Google translate' App this time.
2. A closer inspection revealed that the different arm configurations use totally different parts, and because you get both sets, which use poly-cap mounts, they're interchangeable depending on how you want to display him.
