Toyguide Update: CW50 Barriss Offee
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of Barriss Offee from The Clone Wars Collection
PROS: Fantastic esthetically and the likeness is near perfect for the animated character. The fabric for the skirt is some of the best I’ve see in the modern era of collecting.
CONS: This will be a sticking point for some – articulation. There are no knee or ankle joints and the elbow only feature simple swivel joints.
