The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of the 1:6 Scale Figrin D’an from Sideshow Collectibles.
PROS: Excellent sculpt and paint treatment for the portrait and hands. Instruments are well done. Tailoring of the fabric is on par with most Sideshow releases.
CONS: Although well sculpted where applicable, the $100 price tag seems a bit excessive considering what you get for $20 more in Sideshow’s clone trooper offerings. That being said, I think it will be tough to justify “getting the band back together” if you catch my meaning.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.
