This is flat out, one of the best figures Hasbro has made.  The sculpt is tremendous, with an incredible amount of detail to the body, hands, clothing, boots, and face.  Tthe paint job is also top notch, with a nice bit of weathering, and some silver buckles to highlight all his equipment.  His face has a lot of personality, which is great.  He’s got a removeable helmet, which also sports nice details and paint.  It sits nicely on his head, although mine could have benefited from a tighter fit. He comes with a pistol , which he can hold, although not as tightly as I’d prefer, but he can stow it away in the holster.  Finally, he comes with a large cannon, which has a ball jointed swivel “arm”.  This arm has a clip-like claw on it, which looks like it could fit onto a railing of a future Sail Barge which Hasbro insists is not being developed.  In ROTJ, this Nikto is seen carrying his pistol (see the first reference photo), but it is actually a different Nikto that employs the portable cannon (see the second reference photo).  At least Hasbro didn’t confuse the Niktos with Klatuus, which would be racist.

Seriously, this figure is a marvel to look at, and I especially appreciate that he can hold the cannon, and actually remain standing!  Great job, Hasbro.
