The Yakface Toyguide updates continue today with the addition of Padmé Amidala (Peasant Disguise) from the Vintage Collection’s Attack of the Clones wave.
PROS: Another Amidala outfit is crossed off the want-list! Excellent sculpt and ornate paint apps – especially on the main body. The interchangeable headdresses are a nice touch as is the removable soft goods. Inclusion of the blaster, though superfluous, is a nice bonus too.
CONS: Color of the outfit looks a bit off as this looks more “butterscotch” than “mustard” – hardly worth passing over for this assessment though.
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 today with the addition of Anakin Skywalker (Peasant Disguise) from the Vintage Collection’s Attack of the Clones wave.
PROS: Throw your 2002 version in the dumpster, ’cause this one is definitely the best (and last) version you’ll ever need. Great fabric and tailoring for the poncho.
CONS: Hair color seems to be a bit dark – a light “highlight” wash would remedy that though.

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of Obi-Wan Kenobi from the Vintage Collection’s Attack of the Clones wave.
PROS: Hasbro took the awesome 2009/2010 Legacy Collection sculpt and improved the deco, gave him a Jedi robe and corrected the paint deco to the lightsaber hilt.
CONS: Still, no extra lightsaber hilt to attach to his belt.
