Yakface reader, and brother-in-law, AdamBomb sends in a store finds from the Pacific Northwest. Target (North Gate) has stocked with Wave 3 of the Rogue One/Star Wars Rebels assortment of basic 3.75″ figures. Thrawn’s gone, but the rest should still be there as of this post.
The Yakface Toyguide updates continue today with our next entry in the Rogue One 3.75″ basic figure assortment with Jedha Revolt multipack.
PROS: A marked improvement over the “Home Entertainment” set released for The Force Awakens, this set features 3 new figures with excellent sculpting and paint. Edrio and Saw are brand new for this set and are the most detailed of the 4 figures. Saw Gerrera is the highlight though featuring the most complex sculpt and a great likeness to Forest Whitaker. There are no superfluous pack-in weapons to clutter the set.
CONS: The benefits far outweigh the negatives for this set as repacking Jyn seems like an overcompensation to correct the “Where’s Rey” issues from 2015. It’s also unfortunate that this is the only to get Saw Gerrera and Edrio Two Tubes, but obviously better than not getting them at all.
Head to the toyguide for our detailed image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this set is worth adding to your collection.
Lucasfilm and Disney have announced that Star Wars Rebels will be returning for a Season 4 this fall. There had been some questions regarding the status of the series as many of DisneyXD’s renewals have already been announced while Rebels had been absent.
