Toyguide Update: Destroyer Droid (3 of 12)

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the next addition for the 2012 “Darth Maul” product line. We continue with the Destroyer Droid (3 of 12) from Walmart’s exclusive “Discover the Force in 3-D” collection.

PROS: Hasbro revisits the upgraded Destroyer Droid from the TAC line with a slightly different paint job and a recast of the deflector shield remedying its transparency issue to some degree.

CONS: You still can’t “transform” the droideka into is rolling mode and you only get half of the deflector shield. The figure’s interaction with the shield is a bit clunky but overall it serves it’s purpose. Despite Hasbro efforts to recast the shield in a more translucent plastic, it might have been better to carry the previous shield color forward to avoid having mismatched complete shields.

Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.
