Toyguide Update: 3.75″ Chirrut Îmwe

chirrut_imwe_previewThe Yakface Toyguide updates continue for our next entry in the Rogue One 3.75″ basic figure assortment with Chirrut Îmwe.

PROS:  Chirrut is another stand out figure in the 3.75″ basic figure assortment as he is extremely well sculpted and the likeness is pretty recognizable as actor Donnie Yen. Again, Hasbro captured many of the varied fabrics through subtle use of texture and color variation that really makes the outfit pop – even in this scale.

CONS: It looks like it would have be very easy to include a sixth point of articulation for Chirrut’s right wrist/forearm but instead, Hasbro elected to glue the hand in place. Freeing this joint would have made for a more versatile figure, able to hold his staff in additional battle stances. Sadly, Chirrut does not include a screen accurate version of his cool bow rifle. Not currently available at retail in the US, but expect soon.

Toyguide Update: K-2SO

k2so_preview

The Yakface Toyguide updates continue for our next entry in the Rogue One 3.75″ basic figure assortment with the reprogrammed Imperial security droid, K-2SO.

PROS:  K-2SO may be the best of the Rogue One released thus far in the line up as Hasbro managed to capture the stature, details and scale for this figure almost perfectly. From its lanky frame, to its new, yet familiar Imperial design aesthetic, K-2SO looks pure “Star Wars” which is not only a testament to the character’s concept, but to Hasbro in translating that into plastic. Sure, it’s only 6 POA (all ball-joints), but I think you’d be hard-pressed in finding anything else to take issue.

CONS: Despite the figure’s fantastic sculpt and deco, it is lacking in accessories as you only receive a retractable zipline attachment where a piece of in-film weaponry or piece of tech may have better served this figure.

Toyguide Update: 3.75″ Sgt. Jyn Erso (Jedha)

375_jynerso_jedha_preview

The Yakface Toyguide updates continue for our next entry in the Rogue One 3.75″ basic figure assortment with Jyn Erso (Jedha).

PROS:  Aside from a few minor paint application issues, the second basic version of Jyn Erso is a very nicely done figure. Again, Hasbro has created an all-new figure which is surprising as they could have easily recycled the legs from the Eadu version. Even the blaster is new for this figure. The removable cowl is made of a pliable plastic that fits over the head easily and doesn’t look too bulky. The sculpted details of her uniform/outfit are well done, conveying a variety of textures and fabrics.

CONS: Unlike the first Jyn Erso we reviewed, this one takes a step backward in reverting to the 5 POA form-factor (although still a good figure). Not the best likeness of Felicity Jones but that can be said about most human characters in this scale.
