>>10163905>The figure was sculpted before the actor was actually cast (per the actor himself when I met him at a convention years ago). The actor was not happy wearing that very fake beard.Lmfao thats fucking hilarious. I had no idea about that tidbit. I remember seeing on swca that they resculpted the madine figures head from what the vendor sculptor originally sculpted for the head. Was this to better match the actor or did kenner or possibly lucasfilm not like the original head sculpt that vendor made simply because they didn't like how it looked?
>The REASON he got a figure was because they filmed him in more scenes and he was a more active General during the space battle. That footage was cut, and some of it shows up in the blu ray's deleted scenes section.I also did not know of this either. I remember that alot of deleted scenes from rotj, primarily from the second half of the film, were included in the blu ray of the original trilogy that came out like 10 years ago though to be honest i have yet to see all of those scenes in their entirety. Also that shows how lucasfilm was much more cooperative with their licensors back then where they would tell them crucial plot details and what characters would be important in the movie (at least at the time before post production cut most of his scenes) and compare that to disney where they almost entirely refuse to give any spoilery info to licensors so they have barely anything to make as toys such as what happened with TLJ line having barely any aliens in it or how there was no clone emperor figure in the TVC for rise of skywalker or on a non star wars example how no way home didnt get any toys of the villains in time for the film and have yet to be released almost a year later. I think its retarded why shitsney is so paranoid about spoilers leaking that they suffer a massive loss of revenue in merch from withholding info from toy companies to make said toys
