Toyguide Update: VC21 Gamorrean Guard
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of the Gamorrean Guard from the Vintage Collection’s Return of the Jedi wave (Wave 3).
PROS: One of the top offerings by Hasbro, action figure wise, in recent years. Everything from the sculpt to the paint and likeness hit their mark. Well accessorized and the fuzzy loincloth is the drool on the cake.
CONS: A tough figure to find at retail for some and thus fetches a pretty penny on eBay. Furry loincloth has a tendency to poof up when removed from the package and also sheds fibers when handled.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and 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.
