Maybe it's just something we didn't see in the movie of him giving some advice to a customer who didn't pay their tab without actually looking at them.

*sigh* Just when I thought this silly complaint was finally over with, it's brought up again. This is about as picky, as the Reek wee-wee threads. The observation is nothing new. BTW, POTJ Plo Koon is the same way, and hardly noone mentions it. Dexter and Plo only have 4 fingers on each hand, therefor....no middle finger. :p :rolleyes:

Dexter has four fingers. By the rules of averages, he'd have to have his second and third fingers fully extended to statistically give you "the middle finger".

They've got 3 fingers and a thumb on each hand - technically they do have middle fingers. Doesn't matter though, I think it adds to the figures. :D Since it's not all that out in the open until you notice them, but like I said, I think if adds to them a bit because well Dexter's self-explanatory and Plo it really adds to the fact that those fingers also have claw pieces on them.

Hango, don't get so up set. I don't think anyone was looking down on you. Relax and go with the flow. Not everyone will agree with you and we all have the right to express our thoughts. Don't let what others think bother you so much. Its your money and your collection. Buy what you want and don't on what you dislike.

I just wish he would've came with the pipe. ;)
They give him big knifes & a toxic dart, but no pipe.

I would have liked to have gotten the pipe too. Would have been better than the useless lightening thingy.

The pipe was dropped, because the charecter in the movie never has a pipe. Original charecter concepts had Dexter smoking a pipe, but it was dropped during production, therefor it was dropped from the figure. Besides, if they would have included the pipe, you would have had alot of people here on the forums complaining. Just look at what the inclusion of the Darth Sidious Hologram with Dooku led to. :p :D

Guess it would be pretty worthless if they tried to release a Dannik Jerriko figure, he'd definitely be none scene specific. ;)

What you mean, LTBasker? You think that cause they dropped the pipe on Dexter, they won't include one with Dannik Jerriko? I am sure they will, we have had charecters packed with drinking glasses from the Cantina. I rather doubt they wouldn't include Dannik's pipe thingie. :)

I don't remember Dexter having lightning on his axe during the film either, so the pipe would have been fine with me.

The only thing wrong with the figure is the size of it. Dexter should tower over Obi Wan as seen in the movie plus be fatter. Hasbro really screwed this figure up.
