Dooku wears brown in RotS, but it's much darker than this. Like you said, a darker colour might have made this a bit more cohesive. I never noticed that he's basically wearing Imperial officer garb until you pointed it out. At least this guy can act as a stand-in on your shelf until Hasbro makes a Dooku... did I just say that?

Don’t be afraid to be honest Robo! This figure definitely isn’t worth the asking price. SHF messed up this time, but they’ll hopefully move forward and keep getting better and better

Hope we get a Hasbro Black Series version soon. They have been on a Episode 1 kick last couple of Waves.

I normally love SHF but I'm glad I didn't jump through the hoops for this one.

it's funny this got recommended to me after the TBS Dooku came out

He should be taller than Anakin. The actor was 6’5”

Wanted to tell you thank you for reviewing this figure. I don’t know if a lot of viewers understand that most of you guys purchase, evaluate, and share your thoughts about these items, as a service to us, and one we take for granted at times. I appreciate hearing your opinion and those evaluation points “help” my purchase decisions based on the information you and other reviewers provide. Your thoughts and opinions are yours, so I never feel a reviewer should have to apologize for how they view a product. Your work speaks for itself and if someone feels you are being biased or evaluating a product too harshly then they really should take a step back and understand this is just one reviewers opinion. Again, thank you for taking the time and sharing your thoughts.

Wow, one of the first human figuarts I've ever seen and thought "yeah I'll wait for the black series"

Thanks for the review. I'm still happy enough with it. I'll be unpicking the stitching on that cape though!

I have been looking forward to this: count dooku

Ok so I purchased this figure and was depressed with the negative reviews. However after having opened this figure I must protest. I find my copy to be flawless.

Great review as always, buddy! So sad to see that there are several missed opportunities on this one. Saw your pic on insta where you painted the robes. It already looked much better. Now I am waiting for a pic with him reassembled. Lol I’m sure that will make it appear/display better. The head sculpt/print did definitely fall short, but hopefully Hasbro will have a go at him as well and will issue a great head sculpt that can be swapped. 🤷‍♂️

The black looks much better. Giving the cape a wet treatment now, waiting for that to dry. He's still off but it's less painful on the shelf, until something better comes along, hah.

That Darth TyranGUS opening is amazing.

Great review Robo. Thanks!

i just love his cold open every time

Man! I’ve been waiting a year for Dooku!!

Nothing wrong with being negative Robo, you're critical and rightfully so.

I don't even want to buy these figures, but your reviews are so damn good.

Got mine Yesterday. Wetted the Cape to make drape over the body a bit better. Improves it with a bit. Face imo is pretty spot on. I think the plastic actually feels really nice on the figure and all the articulation is nice and smooth. But yeah, the light tunic colour really throws the whole figure off. Waiting to see Robos repaint to see how much that improves it.

I was sooooo hyped for this figure, you could even say that “I’ve been looking forward to this!” (I’m sorry) I have this waiting at home and have no rush to open it haha. Amazing review but, man, what a disappointing figure. 🙁

Sadly I jumped onto this too and I was hesitating even when pulling the trigger. That said, the face looks better than I was expecting, although possibly the subtlest 'alt' face I've ever seen (it's not even looking to the side - what's all that about!?). Defo with you on the repaint too, and as the heads are so similar, I may give one of them a repaint too. Lots of work for an expensive import figure!

Never apolgise for being honest Sir Robo ! You make honest reviews & pay attention to what counts (pun intended) - to both you & your fellow collectors. My SHF Dooku arrives this week (+ my SHF War Machine Mk4), so while looking forward to it I am already disappointed. I know when I pre-order an exclusive these days it's a gamble of sorts, which it shouldn't be - the Bandai SHF "Exclusives" SHOULD be their best work ! I have bets on the inevitable Black Series Dooku being several steps up from this one, given Hasbro have REALLY improved their game !

I’m going to do black contrast paint up above and the dark brown contrast on the legs. Custom head too.

as soon as you showed it out of the box i went, "oh, oo, uh..... that's um, yeah...." as in he looks like chocolate lol really hoping we get a black series one!

Review the figuarts Obi Wan please

I got out of the Figuarts game to shrink down my collection. With a lot of figures that have come out I’m glad I did.

Ive been lookin forward to this

Cancelled my pre-order based off this review. For the price BBTS was asking, I'm not too sad about it. Hopefully we get a Dooku announcement from Hasbro at SDCC.

It's not bad to be negative when you are making a review. You are supposed to point the pros and cons, nothing wrong with that. It may get subjective at some parts, yes, but you are not wrong either and you actually show pictures and make comparisons with other stuff to prove your points. Good review as always.

From that intro I have to say, and Robo tell Gus, he has my respect already

Very nice of you on a Count Dooku figure I wish I could see the people when you said Lorne Greene how many people who probably did not know who he was so I guess you probably didn't like the figure

mediocre figure for the price point, feels to cheap, great review as always

And Excellent Gregg Popovich fig!

Loved the Gus head on the figure the best.

the alternate head looked like gregg popovich!

In all honesty I don't mind the gripes you have with this figure or any figure. I know some people take it as coming off negative but it's hard not to say negative things about something that should've been better. Being an import company at a higher price point it not gripes that aren't justified for the money you have to spend on the figure. I love Count Dooku and I've been wanting a good figure of him, but I can easily just as say that the amount of wrongs with this figure that this is not a good figure. It's unfortunate but hopefully they take another shot at it or Black Seires will do Dooku some justice. Thanks for the review Robo!

Glad I stick with the original trilogy figures. The sculpt looked much better in the proto pics. I guess most figure lines suffer that from time to time. Great review Robo!!

Oh, definitely, better than nothing at all.

I definitely agree about the face on Dooku. To me maybe it's the length of the face. Christopher Lee has kind of a longer face and very prominent nose. It's very stern. Maybe with an expression it would've looked better. I really like the cape though and I think the overall figure is pretty nice. As far as Robo "complaining" I'm fine with that. It's a review and I appreciate the honesty. I'd rather have a lot of complaints instead of blind approval.

Can’t wait for the black series release of the Dook

Mafex is 3 figures away from their 100th figure solicited. They’ll want to make something special. Surely a Count Dooku will be the 100th.

Nothing wrong with an honest review. Not like your slinging mud or saying don't buy this. The figure needs work. I think paint and some wire in the cape would do it. The likeness doesn't look that far off to me.

Honestly it looks terrible, especially for the price. I'll wait a Black Series version of Dooku.

This is supposed to be P-Bandai?? I don’t want to be that guy but I’m glad I didn’t pick this up. EPII Anakin and Padme were well worth the trouble trying to get but this figure stayed in the prototype stage and didn’t get worked on at all.

I don’t like the action figure but the video is great!!!!

Count doocula

I was bummed when this got announced as an exclusive. Watching this, I'm not going to say this sucks, it doesn't, but I am feeling a lot more okay with not having it after seeing this. Echoing others in saying, I'll wait on a Black series figure, though I dunno if Lee being long dead will impact the photo-real process. I imagine they have plenty of footage of him to get a proper likeness, even if they can no longer scan him.

Well, Gus looks much better on Dookus body than Dooku. The uniform needs a wash or something, reminds me of a bootleg. Still enjoyed hearing Robo , at least you were honest with us👍

Sup robo. Man that Count Dooku looks so disappointing. I have the hottoys version pre-ordered. I’ll wait till black series releases a version for my 6 inch collection. Thanks for reviewing the figure. I was thinking about getting it but frankly it didn’t wow me.
