![]() The only issue we have is that it was cast from a very pliable plastic. The detail is astounding and the paint jobs they received are even better than the sculpting. The top (and biggest) skull looks to be a Bith victim. ![]() The staff contains the heads of three previous victims of various cranial size hanging from the top of it. But the real reason to be excited about the accessories is for the staff and carcass. We’re not so sure why Hasbro included a repack of the figure that accompanied The Power Of The Force “2” Oola And Salacious Crumb Fan Club exclusive figure set, but Hasbro has done just that to give a little more value for any collector’s dollar. Having missing articulation affects the system.Īmanaman (With Salacious Crumb) has some incredible accessories, one of which is Salacious Crumb himself. It is a fantastic sculpt, but for the included articulation to be more useful, more articulation will be needed since it functions as a system. We’re not complaining about this figure’s articulation honestly. Two ball-jointed shoulders are joined by two swivel wrists and two swivel hips (which are essentially pointless since the tail prevents any meaningful movement. This makes holding the staff a little arduous and at times completely impossible. You get to swing two long arms around without any meaningful positioning. Hasbro took the time to engineer two premium ball-jointed shoulders, but they don’t do that much good when there are no elbow joints. Primarily yellow and green, Hasbro ensured that they breathed life into this sculpt with lots of shadowy washes to show the creature’s wrinkly skin and cold-blooded features which make him the most feared head hunter that we can recall from any film. The slightly cocked head, the expertly crafted arms and enlarged hands, and the design of the reptilian features are just astounding. Amanaman certainly isn’t as articulated as any of us would have hoped for, but that doesn’t mean that its sculpt isn’t one of the greatest accomplishments of Hasbro’s career. It’s one of Hasbro’s greatest sculpts of all time easily. Size issue aside, Amanaman (With Salacious Crumb) is a phenomenal release. This The Power Of The Force figure is bigger than the other human characters, and that’s where we believe so many of us base our opinions. Still, the debates rage on, and we feel it is because of the translation of the 1985 Kenner figure. Clear screenshots from Return Of The Jedi show that Amanaman is not any taller than an average human denizen, and although he has disproportionately long and large arms, he isn’t freakishly tall. We’re not so sure if we understand why there are differing opinions on this topic. A great release no matter how you viewed the way Hasbro packaged it, controversy kept rearing its ugly head and collectors began to find something else wrong with the figure: its size. Of course, many collectors balked at the $9.99 price tag but still bought the figure anyway. While thrilled to have the figure available for purchase, collectors felt the decision was bittersweet because this character could have easily fit on any basic figure card back, especially in the Power Of The Jedi line, and the price was a bit more than the average collector was willing to pay. Hasbro thought the figure was too big for a basic figure release. But due to his size, Hasbro unceremoniously “promoted” him to Deluxe status. He's a long-running and much-requested candidate for the Hasbro 3.75” line. Hasbro finally chose Amanaman as the Fans’ Choice Figure No. Multiple controversies, all of which are relatively harmless, surround the Amanaman (With Salacious Crumb) Deluxe figure from the Power Of The Jedi line.
