Toyguide Update: Aurra Sing (Walmart Exc.)
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the next addition for the 2012 “Darth Maul” product line. We continue with Aurra Sing (1 of 12) from Walmart’s exclusive “Discover the Force in 3-D” collection.
PROS: Aurra Sing gets an all-new sculpt for 2012 and it’s a great one. She features most of the necessary articulation collectors require (except ankle joints). The figure not only has a great design but is loaded with weapons and a cool trophy case to house the lightsaber hilts from her past kills. As a bonus, if you have trouble finding her at Walmart, she will be available later in the Vintage Collection.
CONS: Lacks ankle articulation.
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.

As we reported yesterday, Walmart is now starting to get their exclusive “Discover the Force” wave of figures. Don’t give up the search if you don’t see the figures in the regular action figure aisle on the pegs. Forum member EopieHerder tweeted the above image of a four-sided aisle/floor display he found as his local store. As you’re well aware, Walmart tends to be creative as to where they display their merchandise sometimes so you might take the time to roam around the store a bit to locate one.
