The Yakface Toyguide updates resume with our next entry in the Mission Series line as we take a look at the Tantive IV set featuring R2-D2 and C-3PO.

PROS: Getting both R2 and 3PO in one package, surprisingly, doesn’t come around all that often so it’s good to get them in one shot in this set. The proportions and sculpts for each figure are great and have a wonderful sense of nostalgia (while having a modern aesthetic) which allows them to look great displayed with any era of figures. No accessories = no parts to loose = great gift for kids!

CONS: Again, these figure aren’t for everyone due to their limited articulation and less than optimal paint apps. Depending on your figure, C-3PO may suffer from a poor paint job for the eyes – more than likely the black centers will be offset invoking a strange “Gumby” look. R2’s deco is pretty sparse, omitting several blue and silver colored panels on the dome, body and legs. That being said, the figure might lend itself well to customizing (which is good).

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