#THROWBACKTHURSDAY:
Here's a VERY popular character that Peter Played 'A long, Long Time
Ago...' and just keeps on giving! You may remember me posting some
exclusive photographs here of Peter Cushing's TARKIN as an amazing new
figure from HOT TOYS? Well, Graham Alexander Holden, provided those great pics, and today as promised he got in touch, to let us know that HOT TOYS have
posted a great gallery of images of the Cushing Tarkin figure on their
facebook page, and they look terrific! Graham told me, ' The Tarkin
figure is also going to be part of a package containing Vader, as well
as other extras. This will make it a very pricey purchase, so for those
on a limited budget, the single figure purchase will be the better
option!' Good advice. This is certainly the best collectable figure we
have seen here of Tarkin for a long time. WHAT DO YOU THINK? Many thanks also to Roger Andreas Bendlin who give us a heads up about the figure
