End of the Fans’ Choice Poll Draws Near

There is less than 4 hours until we close the voting in our forums for the Yakface/Hasbro Fans’ Choice Poll! We’d like to thank all that have participated thus far and hope that one of your selections makes the list Hasbro and Star Wars Insider publishes next month. Finally, to those readers who felt slighted by our take on the Fans’ Choice Poll, your opinions and concerns haven’t gone unheard and we hope your lists found a home at any/all of the other sites participating in the Fans’ Choice Poll.

Toyguide Update: CW60 Kit Fisto

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of Kit Fisto in Cold Weather Gear (CW60) from The Clone Wars Collection.

PROS: Hasbro delivers yet another all-new Kit Fisto for the Clone Wars line. The sculpt overall is fantastic with a lot of detail worked into the leg wraps and head. The additional removable accessories are a nice surprise considering this is supposedly a “kid-focused” line. Fits into the most recent Jedi Starfighter cockpit (sold separately).

CONS: Because of the design of the head, the neck joint has a very limited (to the point of non-existent) range of motion. Small accessories, especially the goggles, all but guarantee being lost within the first few hours of play so having them sculpted to the figure might have worked better in the long term.

Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure 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.
