Moff Jerjerrod: Wow, does this figure suck or what?

[decadentdave]

After all these years we finally get a Moff Jerjerrod and he just totally blows. Legs spread wide enough to take a crap in his baggy trousers with no articulation at the knees and a facial sculpt that makes him look like he's straining to squeeze one out. Another shining example of how Hasbro can do terrific work on some things (General Veers) and just completely miss the mark on others. I want a re-do and a new sculpt of Admiral Piett as well. :mad:

[Anakin Palpatine]

I would have to agree fully, they both look like they are ready to squeeze one out. I am all for a make over. We should get it for free if we send in the original crappy figures for recycling.

[Jayspawn]

I fixed my Jejerrod figure. I hated the wide legs so I put a rubber band around his knees for a week or so and they kinda stuck -so I dont have that problem anymore. The face sculpt could have been better but I'm very happy with my Moff!

[Droid]

He looks really angry for no reason (except maybe he's mad about the poor sculpt). If you look at the picture of him on the back of the packaging he appears calm and a bit nervous. Why didn't Hasbro sculpt it that way?!

[Devo]

I don't have the figure yet but he is a major disappointment just going on the pictures. I'll still buy him because I highly doubt Hasbro will ever do another one but this is just confoundingly bad. I thought it looked off based on the very first pictures we saw a few months ago but the final release version is far worse even.

Maybe the likeness could have been salvageable if he wasn't sculpted with such an inexplicably angry expression - and what the hell was the reasoning behind that?? Honestly even the mellowed Vader of ROTJ would have struck Jerrjerrod down on the spot if he'd greeted Vader with this look on his face!!! And who knows what the less forgiving Emperor would have done. Jerrjerrod looks like he's having a tantrum, its ridiculous. This figure is better as a generic officer for an endor forest scene or something.

[dindae]

I'm happy with the figure. The stance doesn't bother me. It's not like he is Lobot from POTF2. And the facial expression doesn't bother me either. Maybe it just that I didn't really have any visual in my mind before he was produced or maybe I know how bad Hasbro has screwed up before and this doesn't even come close to those errors.

[Jargo]

A weak willed anxious and troubled Moff given the look of a guy ready to pull the arms off a gundark. I hate that ball jointed neck thing too. it should be the base of the neck that has the ball joint not the top. you don't need masses of movement just enough to make a difference.

Of course the imperial briefing room set uses Jerjerrods body lots so there's a few poopy pants figures to add to the collection.

[BoShek]

Yes, that Lobot looked like he did too many squat thrusts! :yes:

[Mr. JabbaJohnL]

I think Hasbro dropped the ball with this one. His expression is totally off and his stance is too wide; but what really p***es me off is that they didn't paint gloves on him, and he's never seen without them. Also, his arms are articulated in a way that it looks too awkward when they're behind his back in that standard Imperial officer pose.

[maatu]

he reminds me of a nazi commander. he looks like he 's getting ready to salute fuhrer or something. hasbro must of spent more time on c3po and the repackaged emperor then this figure. i am puzzled by hasbro and there decisions.

[Devo]

I'd forgotten about the gloves. Suppose that can be rectified easily but its another silly omission from Hasbro much like their paint gaffes on R5-D4. Aren't they looking at pictures when they make these figures??

And the lack of articulated knees on one of the few Imperial officer types who could have done with it is also a ****er.

The face!! That face!!! WTH??? :mad: :mad: Jerrjerrod never had an expression like that.

[DarthQuack]

Sometimes they just make a figure so quick to get it to us that they don't realize how much of a poor job they can do, I'm happy with mine, it works.

[COMMANDERCODY2795]

i just ne aton of imp officers. so ill probably do that rubber band thing with his legs. ill also get the imp brefing and do the rubber band this angain.

[TheDarthVader]

I have not picked this figure up yet. I can not find the endor wave! Anyway, I will listen to you guys and assume this figure is going to suck. I hope that the death star breifing figures are not based off moff jerjerrod's body. *crosses fingers*

[Banthaholic]

I'm just happy that some 23 years past the release of ROTJ he finally saw his day in plastic.

The figure is a bit off facially, but it's a toy and I'm fine with that. The stance is also a bit much but maybe that'll happen to an officer when he's behind schedule and the Emperor makes an unscheduled visit.

[bobafrett]

I'll do the rubber band thing to, but only to tie him down in a bondage position, with Tarkin holding a whip standing above him.

[decadentdave]

At least the POTF2 Tarkin was a half way decent sculpt. This is just totally wrong. I'm getting more and more disappointed with Hasbro lately. I'm so done with them. I've given Sideshow more money this year than I have given it to Hasbro. Maybe its time for them to give up the 3 3/4" license as well (alright, so I'm exaggerrating a bit) but really, they can take their time and give us some decent sculpts from now until 2018.

[LTBasker]

As a generic imperial officer figure it's pretty decent but it doesn't come close to Jerjerrod. It seems as though the sculptor was too excited about Hasbro's acquisition of the Marvel license and made Namor an officer.

[COMMANDERCODY2795]

If you guys don't like the Jerjerrod figure, then return it. Some of us are still looking for it though!

[LTBasker]

No need to take criticisms of an action figure personally, and especially no need to attack people for it.

Please, if you're going to attack people then actually spell out words. I can't tell you my absolute dread for being attacked with U's. As well, please space sentences from one another and use caps to begin them, your insults that are juvenile in the first place are only more so due to the lack of your grammatical skills.

As for criticising Moff Jerjerrod, people have the right to complain about a figure, especially one they've been looking forward to. Some have been looking forward to getting him in figure form since 1983, I've been looking forward to it since 1995. It's not like they didn't have the proper time or proper skills to make this figure what it should've been, they simply skimped out on it.

[pegger]

Not to nit-pick but... shouldn't this thread belong in the review section?

[Devo]

Well no one has broken it down into sculpt, paint, accessories etc or given it a rating. I don't think it needs to be moved. Its in the TSC section, its a TSC figure.

[pegger]

"...does this figure suck or what?" isn't a rating?

[Devo]

Nah thats a comment. A rating would involve numerals which by the way - 6/10 for this figure and I think I'm being generous there on account of it not quite being POTF2 bad and its usefulness as a generic officer. The face, the stance, the lack of gloves, the lack of articulated knees and the overly shiny paint drag this figure down.

[JEDIpartner]

After all these years we finally get a Moff Jerjerrod and he just totally blows.

I don't suppose you read my review of it in the dedicated reviews section... :rolleyes:

If not... I suggest you head there right now, young man, and read what I had to say about it! :yes:

[Devo]

6/10 you gave it. Without reading yours thats what I gave it and probably for similar reasons - ie. a tentative 'well...at least we got someone called jerrjerrod...but it might aswell be any random imperial as him'

[JON9000]

Does Admiral Ozzel remind you of Hitler? Because that dude played Hitler in several roles, including Indiana Jones and the Tomorrow People.

I'm not terribly happy with this dude either, he's sort of the imperial equivalent of Bren Derlin.

[maatu]

do you think if i melted ozzel and moff jerrod together i would get a better action figure.

[mtriv73]

do you think if i melted ozzel and moff jerrod together i would get a better action figure.

I think you should try it.





The figure isn't that bad. No it's not perfect, but what figure is? It's not super articulated with a sucking up to Darth vader action feature, but it's a new imperial officer. If nothing else, he's great to fill out a dioramma. I'm just happy to get one after all these years. People have been begging for one of these since I started reading the forums, we finally get one, and everyone complains about it. This isn't rebelscum.com. Of course you're entitled to your opinion, but the people at Hasbro are freaking toy makers, not magicians. For $6.63 I'm very happy with it.

[pbarnard]

Both figures suffer from the Captain Antilles/Gen Dodona arms. The peg elbow joint doesn't really work.

I did hand switch a spare ozzel and jerjerrod as a custom.

[Luuuuuuke]

I have not bought this guy yet, figuring he'll probably be clearanced or go on sale at one point. But he could be any Imperial officer. He doesn't look like Moff Jerjerrod in the least. Jerjerrod is actually kind of a bland looking fellow. This guy looks a little too hostile:D I figure if you could customize his head he could be a generic officer.

[Old Fossil]

At least the Jerjerrod figure has some form of facial expression. Most other Imperials we have gotten have all the personality of a sea bass. Have you looked at your black-uniformed Imperial officers lately??? And old Captain Piett looks like he's just been served a platter of stale crumpets. And Veers, while a great figure, looks like Quentin Tarantino in the face.

So cut Jerjerrod some slack. As for the gloves, well, I've been collecting this line since '95 and saw the films back in the day, same as many of you; and I never noticed that Jerjerrod wore gloves in the film, and his figure has none. Really, it's no big deal, folks.

Like someone said above, for $6-7 you get a pretty darn good figure of this guy, which is better than his never having been made at all.

Nope, it's not a big deal. LIke I said, I'll buy him, I'll just wait til he goes on sale or something. It's probably a lot harder to make human figures than aliens, and the movie Moff Jerjerrod is kind of milquetoast looking, which I'm sure makes it more difficult to make a figure out of such a bland, non-distinctive looking guy.

[Devo]

They have neutral facial expressions. Whats wrong with that?? Its accurate. There were no Jim Carrey wannabes in the Emperor's lineup - everyone had 'bland' faces. Accordingly the figures representing these officers should be made that way. At least Jerrjerrod has some facial expression? Not one like this he shouldn't. If they were going to try anything it should have been an edgy look of worry and concern not a facial expression of unbridled fury. Even the Motti figure of latter POTF2 achieved both a great likeness and a very well done expression of tension which is subtle enough that it can reasonably pass as a neutral face aswell. I'm not saying I expect this to be achieved with every figure - I imagine luck plays some role in whether a sculptor gets something deadon or not - what I am saying though is that jerrjerrod is not above the need for criticism.

[Deoxyribonucleic]

yup he sure sux the big one and it doesn't even look like him...ah well, at least they tried lol

[JEDIpartner]

6/10 you gave it. Without reading yours thats what I gave it and probably for similar reasons - ie. a tentative 'well...at least we got someone called jerrjerrod...but it might aswell be any random imperial as him'

Pretty much spot on. I called him "big head" and "grumpy faced" and overly "at ease" leg positioning. LOL And, yes, I did say "at least they made him". :lipsrsealed:

[Jayspawn]

I bought 3 Jejerrods -I'm using him as a generic officer since Hasbro isnt releasing any anytime soon. He works great.

[COMMANDERCODY2795]

It's called repressed anger. I mean, you have to admit that you would be pretty angry if the 20-30 thousand droids, 10 thousand workers, and 1 thousand contracters wern't going to finish up an ultimate battle station in time for you to save your skin from one of the 2 most powerfull sith of all time.
It's not like Jerjjerod can vent his fury on any old Imperial, or just storm down a corridor telling evryone who trys to talk to him "go screw your self." I mean would you do that? probably not with Vader breathing down your neck to finish on time.

[TheCivilCollector]

Well.....

It doesn't really look like him and the facial expression is kind of severe, but hell, it's more imperial officers! Bring 'em on!

[JediTricks]

I spotted a dozen of this figure at WM last night, doesn't look like the guy and the extreme facial expression left me cold, so I passed. If he had a more neutral facial expression, that alone would have worked better IMO.

[Devo]

I'm actually beginning to question whether it was based on the actor at all. There really is no resemblance of any kind, I don't think they even tried.

[Battle Droid]

He needs gloves.
