Toyguide Update: MTT Droid Fighter
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of the Class I MTT Droid Fighter from the 2013 Yoda line look.
PROS: Originally designed as a pack-in, Hasbro instead worked this into the Class I line as a separate companion piece to the MTT. The design and interactivity of the fighter itself is fun with its configurable wings and weapons and with the 2 included figures, it makes for an instant “battle pack” for kids and collectors.
CONS: If you’re a stickler for articulated figures, this set probably doesn’t seem like much of an offering at a price north of $20.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this set is worth adding to your collection.
You can also weigh in with your impressions on the figures we add to our toyguide on facebook and in our forums.
