The Yakface Toyguide updates resume with the next entry in the Star Wars Rebels/Saga Legends 3-3/4″ line. Next, we take a look at Luke Skywalker (SL10).
PROS: This was one of the figures I missed in early 2014 (due to “last wave syndrome” of the previous line look in the US). Thankfully, Hasbro recognized the problem and reissued it for the first wave of Rebels/Saga Legends assortment. The figure itself is quite possibly the best 5 POA Luke figure ever done in terms of capturing the classic Kenner aesthetic while using modern sculpting techniques. Like most offerings in the Saga Legends line, there are some issues with paint apps but this figure (at least my sample) seems to have faired pretty well. They really seemed to have nailed the specific “Jedi” details of his outfit as well – namely the chest flap and the cool little pouch on his belt.
CONS: As we mentioned, the paint apps for this figure can vary from figure to figure so finding one with decent eye/eye brow deco may be the hardest part about collecting the figure. Otherwise there really isn’t much to complain about unless you just don’t like “cheaper” toys aimed a younger generation.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume with the next entry in the Star Wars Rebels/Saga Legends 3-3/4″ line. Next, we take a look at Darth Vader (SL09).
PROS: It’s Vader, it’s on an individual card, it’ll probably sell through this holiday season. Like its first release, deco is minimal and applied well and due to its kid friendly (i.e. 5 POA) design, the figure doesn’t fall apart in your hands and there are no small parts (helmet components, hilts) to loose/misplace.
CONS: It’s Vader again, the same figure was available last year, and it is repacked again in the Saga Legends/Rebels Mission Series (MS03) set.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection… again.
