The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of Lumat from the Vintage Collection.
PROS: And another one gets crossed of the “to-be-remade” list. As a big fan of Ewok figures, Hasbro’s latest is quite impressive as it mixes old and new parts to get us a “new” figure. Lumat is loaded with articulation (12 POA), recycling the body from last year’s Logray figure. The weapon accessories for Lumat are all-new designs, the best of which is the bow being able to hold an arrow and the bow string is flexible enough to give the appearance of the arrow being drawn back. It’s a great piece all around.
CONS: Like others from this last wave, limited availability coupled with an above MSRP price through online outlets may be the sticking point for some collectors.

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of Jocasta Nu from the Vintage Collection.
PROS: As one of the perennial recipients of votes in fans’ choice polls for years, Hasbro has treated collectors to a very nice figure as the design is solid and the deco is equally well done. Jocasta is presented in an attractive display box and includes a ton of accessories, one of the coolest being the Dooku “Lost Twenty” bust with hidden holocron.
CONS: For me? None. Others on the other hand seem to have a gripe with the price and/or the way this figure is distributed, but in the end you must, as they say “vote with your dollar” and let those who’ve wanted this figure enjoy it.
