According to this image courtesy of Hot Toys, it appears that the upcoming Black Series Yoda (#06) doesn’t feature articulation in the knees. Hot Toys lists the figures as having 22 points of articulation (and you thought we were crazy for breaking down the joints like that) while a figure like the 6″ Clone Trooper has 29 POA.
Click the image above for a closer look at that the pose in the bottom left corner. Disappointing this is.

I didn’t think the vehicle was all that interesting when I first started work on it but I’m now in love with this thing. Lots of options. The rear bench seat is removable so you can place it on either side on the transport or take it out so it can haul standing troops, droids, or other cargo. Paint it grey and it would make a great vehicle for the Empire too.

Chalk this up to a cosmic fluke but Facebook follower Brian K. scored all three Star Wars Rebels vehicles at his local Chicago Target for less than the price of one.
Nice find Brian!
