The new Rebels vehicles have been showing up at various retailers recently, and now Target stores are getting in on the fun with their exclusive versions, which come with bonus pack-in figures. For $24.99 it’s hard to find anything complain about – even when Hasbro packs the figures upside down.
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume with the next entry in the Star Wars Rebel/Saga Legends 3-3/4″ line. Next, we take a look at Jango Fett (SL07) from the Saga Legends line.
PROS: Despite its limited POA design, this sculpt for Jango gives any of the super articulated versions a run for their money. The overall body proportions seem to be more accurate, with a stockier build that captures Temuera Morrison’s body type nicely. This is the Geonosis Arena version so the proper jetpack has been included and it stays put when attached. Also included are his signature blasters which do their job well. This figure is a repaint of the 2013 Mission Series figure that had an unexplained black glove on one hand – this version features matching hand paint apps.
CONS: The neck has a slightly downward angle sculpt (clearly evident in profile images) which gives an odd tilt when posing the head in certain directions. Since this is a “Legends” figure, there are no working holsters to stow the blasters so be prepared crawl around looking for them if you (or a child) misplace one… or both.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.
