Carded/Loose Images of Jabba’s Skiff Guard
Andrew’s Toyz has posted via Facebook, the first carded look at the upcoming Jabba’s Skiff Guard figure from The Black Series. As you can see, the figure omits the character name for something more generic, probably due to the confusion on which character this is intended to represent: “Sgt. Doallyn” or “Brock Starsher”. It was confirmed in Star Wars Insider #143 that this is in fact Brock Starsher. Also take note that the included weapons shown with the new images are different than the ones shown in the solicitation image and from what was on display at Toy Fair 2014.
