Good Guys! From the left - Luke, Leia, Han
and Chewbacca. Sculpts are poor, paint is poorer, but they are recognisable, so
all is not lost and a repaint would give you four more figures for a Wizards of the Coast collection, which
they are vague matches for, size wise!
Bad Guys! As you were - Nikto, Jabba the
Hutt and Bobba Fett. The bounty hunter looks like a street cleaner from
Blade-Runner, the Nikto looks like an Ewok on steroids and JTH looks like a
blancmange which has been left too long in the sun!
The Gamorrean Guard however is a much
better sculpt and better painted, to the point where you think it must be a
different sculptor, and possibly a separate sub-contracting factory? I'm not
saying it is, but that's the impression given by the sudden improvement in
overall finish on the one figure sculpt!
If you've got any of the figures from this
set sitting in your TBS pile, it's likely to be this chap as there are a bunch
of them in every set; six . . . eight or maybe ten . . . I've put them away and
can't remember the total, but they are like the 'pawns' of the game - and chief Sarlacc food!
Same marking on all eight sculpts, the
'board' was a hex-decked skiff, suspended over the Sarlacc's maw, all in card,
which folded and slotted together to create a theatrical 'vignette' playing
area.
