My Kit Fisto Review

I know it's a little later than it should be especially with Vader out already but things got delayed because of SDCC and the photshop guys PC went down.

Kit Fisto Review

 

[hairlesswookiee]

thanks for the review!! i agree with you 100% when's the vader gonna be reviewed, im curious to see what you think.

 

[The Josh]

Well, I'm not scheduled to do that one actually. Thanks for the compliments on Kit though.

Nice work J1! In this case your scores are right on IMO. This figure has met with nothing but critical acclaim from collectors, customizers and reviewers... the only nitpick being his understandably overweighted head.

Right on brother!

 

[The Josh]

His head is a little heavier than the others but hey if you had that getup on your head I think it would weigh more to.

Thanks though for the kind words.

I can't wait to get mine tomorrow!

Great review!!! Unfortunately, I lost my Kit order from SS due to a move. I was away from my e-mail and they e-mailed me saying that they couldn't ship my Kit due to my Shipping address and billing address not being the same. I didn't know this until it was too late. I have since updated my account but Kit is long gone to another collector. Hopefully, one on this board!!! If you got one off the wait list, it may have been mine. Great figure though!!!! My brother has one!! At least I can enjoy his!!!

Cheers,

Brad

Thank ya folks

I think the overall look on Kit’s face would have been better served by giving him his trademark smile instead of the feed me grin he was given.

"Feed me grin" So true!
Great review! Makes me wish I hadn't passed on Kit.

 

[The Josh]

Thanks I thought the "feed me grin" would be good for a laugh or two.

Kit is an awesome figure.
I would like to let everyone know that NewForceComics.com now has Kit Fisto regular edition in Stock. Just look under the Star Wars presell 12" section. Rick the owner is great and really provides great service to his customers. ive been buying the DST Star Trek line from him for the past two to three years

Nice review, Josh. I do wish that Kit came with extra hands for some different poses. Other than that, he's perfect.

Thanks Batty! Yeah, extra hands would have been nice I agree.

Good review Josh. While it's a breath of fresh air to read some positive comments, I have just a couple of items where I respectfully disagree...

• 
  No extra hands: I would have appeciated another "saber-grip" left hand to display Kit holding a firm grip on his saber hilt
  [*]Lack of balance: While the sculpt is superb, his head does make the figure a little top-heavy, making posing him without the stand a risky proposition. He'll fall over pretty easily and I wouldn't want to risk that handsome mug getting dented or scratched if he were to take a tumble. Plus the leg joints on the figure I got are a little loose.
  [*]Articulation: It's typical Sideshow good, but again, that big head limits things a bit.
  [*]Costume details: The only tiny detail that seems a bit much is how pink his tunic is. Yeah, it's really "salmon" but I just think it should appear more earthy looking than pink...
  [*]That face: I'm actually glad they went with a more neutral expression...his grin was a real character defining expression, but I don't think the ole' Nautolan grinned like an idiot all the time...the neutral look allows more varied display possibilities...
  

Now, having said all that...I really do like this figure...he looks great on display and is a real eye-catcher (heck, all the SS figures so far are...but Kit is especially exotic). It's a great quality job that is rendered well.
Good job on the photos too, Josh....keep 'em coming!

 

[The Josh]

Thanks! It's all good we can agree on everything.

I don't think the size of the headsculpt could be a nitpick. Kit has a huge head, what's SS supposed to do about that? He would be top heavy no matter who made him.

Not seeing any pink in the tunic as well.

Other than the extra hand, Kit is perfect. Hence the reason we don't have 500 threads with problems about him like Luke or Anakin.

If Collector Freak isn't b*tching about it, it must be a great item!

I just got mine today and all I can say is I agree!
