Quick summary.
Pros:
- The material of the inner suit and outer cloak I actually like. The inner is the usual stretchy material similar to spandex (eg. Hot Toys Superman). The outer cloak is a "onsie" type material that is pretty easy to futz and looks decent.
- The tattered edges on the hem around the bottom of the cloak and the sleeves looks decent. The weathered is not too noticeable since it's all brown, but is there especially around the bottom of the cloak as expected.
- The fake leather pouches and straps actually look really nice, and have a good tumbled leather texture to them. They dont feel too delicate either to move around. The use of different materials looks great too.
- The light up eyes are pretty nice, and even with lights off I find they look decent enough with the slightly reflective yellow translucent plastic used. Battery and switch on the back of the head is easily accessible.
- The hood is a bit of a pain to futz, but with two options for how the hood is wrapped around the head, it gives good options. Lots of fun for those that can futz properly.
Cons:
- The underlying body is the biggest negative. It feels too floppy in areas, especially the knees, thighs swivels, elbows, and bicep swivels. It does not feel of a good quality, and may be prone to breakages or things becoming unattached (eg. I was bending the elbow and the forearm came off. Not broken, just annoying I had to roll up the sleeve all the way to reattach).
- The blaster and droid caller holsters are too thin to actually place the accessories properly into them. At the factory, whoever packaged them shoved them all the way in, which deforms the holsters a little and makes it very hard to remove the accessories (be careful not to snap the blaster!!).
- The stands are pretty crap, but ultimately are a necessity since the figures do not stand on their own very well due to floppy knees and body.
Summary:
Overall despite the negatives, I'm actually pretty happy with them. I think they do look nice on display, especially with the droids. Are they worth $220? That's borderline I would say. With the pros and cons above, I would say a price around $180-$190 would be OK. But in the end, they're pretty nice representations of the characters, especially for fans of the first movie.
