Overview
Moloch is a Target Fall 2018 exclusive at $29.99 — the hulking White Worms crime boss from Solo: A Star Wars Story, the Grindalid gang leader who employs young Han and Qi’ra on Corellia. As a Grindalid worm species, Moloch has no legs — the bottom of the figure is one solid piece of plastic, which also means no balancing issues whatsoever. He stands approximately 1.5 heads taller than a standard Black Series 6” figure and about twice as wide. 8 joints — ball-jointed neck, ball-jointed shoulders, elbows, wrists, ball-jointed waist.
Four Accessories
Blaster — fits perfectly into the right hand with trigger-finger placement. Stows in the holster located on the front of Moloch’s waist.
Scepter — the movie prop scepter had 48 souls sculpted onto it, and this detail is faithfully replicated on the toy. Fits well in both hands.
Removable face mask — reveals Moloch’s face underneath. The bottom part of the face mask is permanently attached to the helmet but can be angled outward slightly to reveal more of the head. The helmet itself is not removable. The neck is ball-jointed and allows a little head movement.
Removable plastic robe — the outer robe comes off. The harness and belt underneath are not removable.
The Sculpt
Hasbro sculpted Moloch beautifully. The figure captures the likeness of the character from Solo very well. The source documentation describes this as very impressive and a very welcome addition to the collection.
Secondary Market
Target, Fall 2018. Four accessories: blaster, scepter, face mask, robe. The face mask is the smallest component to verify on a loose set.
Verdict
Moloch is one of the most distinctive figures in the Phase 3 Target exclusive run — an imposing worm-bodied alien crime boss with excellent prop accuracy (48 souls on the scepter), a removable face mask, and a sculpt described as very impressive. An essential Solo character for Corellia display builds.
