The surly Advozse mercenary returned to The Vintage Collection in 2025 as a specialized reissue. Bom Vimdin, the one-horned smuggler known for his solitary and cynical nature, was a natural choice for a refresh following the 2024 HasLab Mos Eisley Cantina project. Originally released in 2011, this 2025 version ensures that one of the most visually distinct patrons of Chalmun’s Spaceport Cantina remains accessible for collectors looking to populate their sprawling Tatooine displays with the "scum and villainy" of A New Hope.
Technical Details & Sculpt
- Design & Alien Anatomy: The sculpt remains a standout for its depiction of Advozse biology, featuring the signature single black horn and enlarged, light-sensitive black eyes. His scavenger-style outfit—a mix of high-collared tunics and functional belts—perfectly captures the "used universe" aesthetic of the original cantina sequence.
- Photo-Real Deco: The 2025 reissue benefits from Photo-real technology, which provides a significant upgrade to his facial features. The skin tones are more nuanced, with improved weathering around his single horn and a more life-like, glossy finish on his large black eyes, replacing the simpler hand-painted apps of the 2011 original.
- Articulation: Featuring premium TVC articulation, including ball-jointed shoulders, elbows, and knees. His range of motion is specifically suited for "slumping" in a cantina booth or taking a defensive, quick-draw stance against uninvited guests.
- Display Utility: This is a mandatory addition for any Mos Eisley Cantina or Jabba’s Palace peripheral display. He is best positioned as a solitary figure in a dark corner or standing near Dr. Evazan (VC57) and Ponda Baba (VC70).
Accessories & Equipment
Bom Vimdin comes prepared for the dangers of a lawless spaceport. He includes a short blaster pistol and a long blaster rifle, reflecting his readiness for both close-quarters brawls and long-range security work. A fan-favorite accessory returning with this release is his Advozse drinking cup, a unique character-specific piece that allows for perfect "mid-sip" diorama posing. The figure also features a functional holster on his right hip to house his pistol.
