The Yakface Toyguide updates resume with our next entry in the The Black Series 3-3/4″ line. Today, we take a look at Pablo-Jill (#10).
PROS: Pablo-Jill was a highlight figure released during the transitional wave of OTC figures, and now we get the first refresh for this character in nearly a decade. The result? A stout figure that is loaded with articulation, bringing it up to today’s standards (and expectations) for Jedi figures. The complete package makes for an impressive figure and again, the highlight of the wave.
CONS: None really to speak of other than the omission of a lightsaber hilt accessory to be worn on the figure’s belt (as there is a provided hole in it.)
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this piece is worth adding to your collection.

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume with our next entry in the The Black Series 3-3/4″ line. Today, we take a look at the 41st Elite Corps Clone Trooper (#12).
PROS: Not a lot of good things can be said here. Sure it’s super articulated and it serves as diorama filler but then things turn south quickly.
CONS: What is wrong with thee? Let me count the ways. In addition to the proportionally oversized helmet, virtually everything about this figure’s color scheme is wrong. There are so many deco omissions – top to bottom – it’s hard to fathom how it passed QC. Hopefully Hasbro keeps to their word and issues a revision.
