Star Wars toy report: Constable Zuvio

Little is known about Constable Zuvio other than he is a constable of the Niima Outpost on the planet Jakku.
There were rumors that he is Boba Fett and or that his armor was fashioned out of the remnants of Boba Fett’s. Given the fact that he is a Kyuzo and that there are other characters that wear the same armor, both rumors are rendered false.
It seems that the good constable is the least sold figure from the selection of Episode VII figures which i don’t understand. I like the design and the aura of the character. He is described as a rather stern and humorless fellow, and the sculpt captures his determination.

3,75 inch version

This version comes with a backpack and a staff.
The deatails on his helmet weapons (he has blasters next to his face and still nobody wants to buy him) and uniform are great. Of course there are a few paint errors, but like on the photo below, they are on sections of the figure that you tend not to display towards the observer.
The backpack is attached via a peg and holds quite nicely. The paint apps on the accessories aren’t as well painted as on the Black Series version, but they still look good to me.

The facial sculpt captures the tone of the character description perfectly. Always alert, always ready to keep the peace (hopefully).

Black Series version

This version of the character packes an even bigger punch than its 3.75 inch counterpart. If you get one with a decent painjob. Some of the figures have an error in the painted on eyes which rob the figure of its menacing glare.

Like his smaller counterpart, the figure comes with a staff and the backpack. But these version of the accessories, like his armor and clothing have a great paintjob, showing that these tools are used in the harsh enviroment of a desert world

The backpack holds onto the figure via a peg. The tunic has three holes in it that fit the straps and give the illusion that they run beneath his tunic.

And two shots of which i could not decide on and therefore will include both of Zuvio being serious.

 This figure is my secret favourite. The big top hat is something one has to warm up to, but once its accepted handling and posing this figure is a lot of fun. The character seems to be formed by his surroundings, a desert planet that demands a lot of work from its inhabitants to ensure their survival. And not only is he occupied with keeping himself alive, he also tasked himself with, hopefully, keeping the peace among the community.
I’m lookin forward to seeing him in the movie and playing with the figures again.
