The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the next addition for the 2012 “Darth Maul” product line. We continue with the Tusken Raider (11 of 12) from Walmart’s exclusive “Discover the Force in 3-D” collection.
PROS: The Tusken Raider from 2006 gets back to the market for those that might have missed him previously. Soft goods are superior in texture, weight and overall esthetic to many other modern figures that feature fabric accents. The deco update addes variety to the Tusken ranks as they all should look different from one another in that respect.
CONS: Swivel elbows are a reminder of how spoiled we are with most of today’s super-articulated figures. Forearms have a tendency to pop off when posing the figure dynamically.

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the next addition for the 2012 “Darth Maul” product line. We continue with the Destroyer Droid (3 of 12) from Walmart’s exclusive “Discover the Force in 3-D” collection.
PROS: Hasbro revisits the upgraded Destroyer Droid from the TAC line with a slightly different paint job and a recast of the deflector shield remedying its transparency issue to some degree.
CONS: You still can’t “transform” the droideka into is rolling mode and you only get half of the deflector shield. The figure’s interaction with the shield is a bit clunky but overall it serves it’s purpose. Despite Hasbro efforts to recast the shield in a more translucent plastic, it might have been better to carry the previous shield color forward to avoid having mismatched complete shields.

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the our next Blu-ray deleted scene figure addition: Princess Leia (Sandstorm Outfit) from The Vintage Collection.
PROS: Hasbro goes to the popular “Slave Leia” well one more time with this release. This figure features an improved paintjob over the previous releases giving her a much softer appearance which makes this a far superior version in terms of likeness to the TLC and VC64 releases. The combination hard/soft goods work well here for the deleted scene attire as they keep the figure relatively unencumbered.
CONS: A great figure for the most part, but the plastic hair braid forces the head to always look to one side. Maybe Hasbro in the future can try to implement real hair akin to what they did in the POTF2 line’s Princess Leia Collection.
