BlackChewbaccagate: a Parts reuse rant

 At times, I'm an advocate for creative parts reuse on figures, but there are times where even I can't defend parts being reused. This is the case of Black Croissantan, the Black Furred Wookie from The book of Boba Fett.
$28 and he's supposed to ship on February 2023... One entire year of waiting for a Chewbacca repaint with a new head and unpainted Harness.

This is like making a Captain America out of the Spider-Man body. It won't look good... especially when displayed next to a picture of the character, showcasing the differebt body type.

Honestly, it would have been better to wait for the release of Black Krrsantan and instead do a Black series Jodo Kast as a "lazy repaint" exclusive. Also, would it kill anyone to give the metallic parts of the harness some Gold paint and maybe a slight wash on the "leather parts" of the harness? As it is right now, the harness looks like it came from one of those bootleg lines that "play well with Masters of the Universe" toys. It's disappointing.
