Toyguide Update: Kanan Jarrus (Stormtrooper Disguise)

kanan_std_preview

The Yakface Toyguide updates continue for our next entry in the Rogue One 3.75″ basic figure assortment with Kanan Jarrus (Stormtrooper Disguise).

PROS:  Instead of simply swapping heads with the previously existing stormtrooper body, Hasbro elected to create an all-new mold – one that is markedly improved over the original. The figure reflects Kanan’s taller stature as well as captures a better representation of the character’s animated likeness. Hasbro also created an all-new lightsaber for Kanan with this release – although not as detailed in sculpt as the previous version. The helmet is well proportioned and doesn’t appear overly bulky when worn. In total, there are a lot of useful accessories for extended and expanded playability.

CONS: The pauldron doesn’t fit the greatest when the helmet isn’t being used. Ugh, that disk-firing projectile. For some reason, I just don’t like it (in what ever flavor it comes in).

Head to the toyguide for our detailed image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.

Toyguide Update: 3.75″ Captain Cassian Andor (Eadu)

cassian_eadu_preview

The Yakface Toyguide updates continue for our next entry in the Rogue One 3.75″ basic figure assortment with Captain Cassian Andor (Eadu) – the newest member of the “blue coat club”.

PROS:  Another solidly sculpted figure that features a lot of great detail in the entire outfit.  Includes a fun(ctional) zipline accessory and the working holster holds the unique blaster securely. For diorama builders and customizers, this figure may serve as a great base for bolstering rebel troops.

CONS: Despite its appearance in and out of the packaging, the hat/helmet for Cassian is not removable and sadly, the head from figure packed with the U-wing is not a direct swap due to different sized neck posts. A few minor paint flaws – your mileage may vary.

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.
