The Hammer-headed Ithorian Momaw Nadon’s transient look in Star Wars is fairly iconic, however I believe he’s a Star Wars character I principally care about due to toys. The unique Hammerhead determine was a favourite of mine and I’ve fond recollections of discovering the POTF2 determine on the pegs after I was a bit older. I can not bear in mind if I first discovered the title Momaw Nadon from the POTF2 determine or from the Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina e book, however I do bear in mind being stunned that he wasn’t sporting a blue onesie just like the classic determine since I don’t suppose his outfit actually ever registered with me. At any charge, I really like the alien figures on this line, so let’s check out the Black Collection Momaw Nadon!
The packaging is much like current releases, however they eliminated the angled part of the field for a extra conventional proper angles. It’s actually not very giant and I really feel like he might be a daily carded determine. It does actually name into query the “deluxe” designation for this determine for me, however Hasbro does are likely to play fairly quick and free with what is taken into account deluxe.
The determine comes with three cups and a normal Imperial Blaster. I consider the cups are from Bib Fortuna and the blaster makes a certain quantity of sense for the reason that determine had one initially within the classic launch. He can maintain it in his proper hand securely. You’ll be able to finagle the second finger into the set off guard, but it surely type of tilts the gun a bit.
He holds it finest with the grip across the outdoors of the set off guard.
The cups match finest in the correct hand and somewhat cockeyed within the left. I do suppose they’re applicable equipment for a cantina patron, if somewhat uninteresting. That stated, his solely canon look is briefly nursing a drink in a bar. I believe I’d have appreciated the desk and chair he sat in, that may have made it deluxe and would encourage me to complete off my Cantina diorama. One other factor I wouldn’t have minded was his obnoxiously giant gun from POTF2, however in case you have the outdated one it really works fairly properly with this determine.
The sculpting on this man is fairly good as they’ve captured his squinty eyes and leathery pores and skin texture from the film properly. I believe a variety of his costume and decrease anatomy has been invented over time and this determine matches in properly with the movie established look and the Ithorian anatomy established over time in supplementary materials and different canon Ithorians. It re-uses a substantial amount of the current Dok Ondar determine to nice impact, seemingly a deliberate components sharing throughout two releases. I do hope to see an eventual classic colour re-issue, although I hope in the event that they do this they add some new naked higher legs and arms for that genuine onesie look.
The articulation is pretty customary for a Black Collection determine although since he re-uses components from an older determine he retains the thigh swivels which have been faraway from current releases. Momaw has:
- Swivel/hinge shoulders, elbows, hips, wrists, elbws, and ankles
- Ball and socket waist, head, and neck
- Swivel thighs
- Butterfly hinged pecs
The skirt has slits alongside the edges, however it’s longer on the correct aspect than the left due to the sculpted element of the rope round his waist and due to this fact the ahead leg motion is best on the correct aspect than the left. He doesn’t sit nice and for a personality that solely sits on display screen, I’d have appreciated extra consideration paid to creating positive he may sit higher.
The paint is somewhat higher than the same old black sequence as the great sculpted texture on the pores and skin is highlighted with a wash. My impression of Hammerhead within the movie is that he has some lighter coloring on the underside of his head or that might be the underlighting from the desk within the scene, so it is probably not an omission. There are some clear element hits on the belt, rope, and little pouches on the belt.
Total, this can be a stable launch and any such alien character makes for a enjoyable determine even when he doesn’t do a lot within the movie. Do I want I may have paid common determine value for him, sure. The deluxe looks like a little bit of a value gouge to me. The Ithorians have turn out to be a big species within the Star Wars universe, so it’s good to get the unique mannequin in Black Collection lastly. Typically talking, I discover the alien character make for extra attention-grabbing figures to me and would like to see them make extra Cantina aliens.
