My video review is now up on the Kool Kollectibles YouTube channel!
Click through to check it out, but here is my quick summary!
The Good:
- Two regular head sculpts are great, and have an extremely good likeness to Mark Hamill, only let down by a flat paint app. But it is a FAR better likeness than DX07.
- Overall material and design of the outfit - metal clasps finally!!!
- Articulation is very nice and swapping out the hands is hassle free.
- Snow base is a nice touch.
The Bad:
- Exclusive head sculpt is pretty terrible on all fronts.
- That speckling effect on the lightsaber is cheap and just makes it look off
- Paint app on lightsaber hilt and pistol still not as good as HT.
- The vest is the wrong colour and is too small.
- Badge pocket on vest is too small making the rank badge stick out.
- The body scale may be too large.
Overall:
I think the figure overall is very good. If Sideshow had just added that HT paint app on the facial skin texture, and made the vest fit properly and with the right colour, this would be very close to a definitive figure. I say 7/10.
