The Yakface Toyguide updates resume with the latest entry in the Star Wars Rebels 3-3/4″ line. Next, we take a look at the Sabine Wren and Stormtrooper Mission Series set (MS08).
PROS: Finally! We are one step closer to getting the entire crew of the Ghost and our intrepid rebel heroes. This set features the debut of fan favorite Sabine in her custom Mandalorian armor. Despite not having a removable helmet, the aesthetic of the figure is spot on. The sculpt of the figure has a certain amount of attitude with what looks like slightly cocked hips. Sabine also benefits from functional holsters to stow her twin blasters. The Stormtroper is a carry forward from previous releases with some variance in deco quality in the various sample I’ve seen, but having more “bucket heads” is always welcome.
CONS: The biggest con (other than less than stellar availability right now) is the fact that Sabine doesn’t have a removable helmet. They gave one to Erza – why not her? Hopefully Hasbro can revisit this figure soon with that feature. Yeah, yeah, articulation is limiting but that shouldn’t dissuade you from adding her to your collection. Finally, her blasters are very tiny so if the intent is to let kids (boys and girls) play with her, might want to keep an eye on those accessories.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this set is worth adding to your collection.
