The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of Jango Fett from the Vintage Collection’s Attack of the Clones wave (Wave 4).
PROS: Pretty much the definitive Jango in terms of sculpt and accessories. Re-worked, scene specific gauntlets are a nice touch as is the new jetpack and missile.
CONS: The gauntlet blades are not removable (i.e. they are deployed all the time). Overall color of the jumpsuit seems to still be “off” a bit but it’s a vast improvement over the grape flavored version included in the recent Geonosis Arena set.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.
You can also weigh in with your impressions on the figures we add to our toyguide on facebook and in our forums.

Ever since the new Vintage Rebel Fleet Trooper was revealed at Toy Fair, people have asked “what’s the deal with that baseball cap?”
After some scouring of movie frames containing the trooper in question, I found that during the Medal Ceremony on Yavin IV, you can in fact see some RFTs wearing caps in the background.
Did the prop dept. run out of RFT helmets and use the caps as a last resort? Tough to know for sure but it looks like they got that obscure detail right for the Vintage release. Sadly, the same can’t be said for the figure’s missing holster.
