Toyguide Update: Lomrokk – Gamorrean Executioner Mythos Statue
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with a look at Lomrokk – Jabba’s Gamorrean Executioner, the latest statue to be released from Sideshow’s Star Wars Mythos line
PROS: While probably not at the top of most collector lists in terms of character significance in the overall saga, this statue is simply amazing. Sideshow’s artisans have given this piece such detail it’s hard to believe that it isn’t a living, breathing creature. The sculpt incorporates varying textures, washes and paint treatments (whether it be on muscle, armor plating, fur or terrain) that define each part and add to the sense of realism. The skin of Lomrokk is a work of art in and of itself as he is covered with scars and gouges giving him an even more imposing vibe. The interchangeable heads are a wonderful feature allowing you to vary its presentation depending on your preference.
CONS: A bit pricey for most and it is quite large, weighing 15 lbs and standing about 20″ high, so display options may be limited. An odd character choice for a such a premium line of collectibles.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this piece is worth adding to your collection.
You can also weigh in with your impressions on the figures we add to our toyguide on facebook and in our forums.
