Toyguide Update: 501st Legion AT-RT

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of the 501st Legion AT-RT from the 2013 Yoda line look.

PROS: Despite this set being all repaints, the inclusion of the TX Tactical Droid gives collectors another stab at this hard to find sculpt from 2009. Like other Class I sets for 2013, the main highlight for this is the value in getting 2 figures and a small vehicle for about $20.

CONS: Nothing really new here other than a bunch of repaints, but for the value it’s still a great buy. It’s is obvious that the design aesthetics of this set is based in the world of The Clone Wars, but the packaging gives no indication as such.

Toyguide Update: Yoda’s Jedi Attack Fighter

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of Yoda’s Jedi Attack Fighter from the 2013 Yoda line look.

PROS: Hasbro has revised the Class I assortment for 2013 – now including 2 figures as pack-ins. This is not only a great value in terms of price but offers great play value right out of the box. The vehicle itself is an all-new design and it’s fantastic as it’s very true to the mini rig concept from the vintage days. The fighter has a removable “booster seat” that allows for figures larger than Yoda fit in the cockpit and in an ingenious move, Hasbro’s design team built into the ship the ability to switchout the astromech domes with others from the build-a-droid/Droidfactory line. The feature affords collectors customizing opportunities as well as the possibility of redecos of this set in the future. Yoda is an all-new figure as well and it has a headsculpt with incorporated communication headset.

CONS: The deco for Yoda’s face is a little wonky, especially the eyes. Hopefully this will be cleaned up as more of these hit the market.
