New R2-MK Build-A-Droid Coming?

R2-MK_BAD

Our eagle-eyed, astromech aficionado friends at The Astromech Collection have noticed that in the recent press imagery for the new Star Wars Weekends Jedi Mickey Starfighter a new R2-MK can be seen that uses the Droid Factory/Build-A-Droid sculpt. No word if this is included with the starfighter or if it is part of a new assortment of B.A.D. parts that will be available at the park.

Toyguide Update: Seripas (CW61)

2011CW61_preview

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with our look back at some of the older Clone Wars figures that we have yet to add to the archives. We continue with the formidable bounty hunter, Seripas (CW61).

PROS: From the moment Seripas debuted during The Clone Wars’ second season, fans of the line wanted this figure. Hasbro did an excellent job of recreating the animated character – the deco, articulation and details are fantastic – and the inclusion of the removable Seripas figure was executed remarkably well courtesy of a flip-up hatch. The suit itself is loaded with articulation and the ability to hide the weaponry into the arms make this figure that is not only great to display but fun to play with too.

CONS: It is a little difficult for the figure to hold the included sniper rifle convincingly due to the stiffness of the hands and the large forearms. Hands tend to pop out of their sockets when attempting this as well. A great figure that lacked significant distribution in the general retail market.

Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth tracking down for your collection.
