The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the next entry in the Star Wars Rebels 3-3/4″ line. Today, we take a look at the Garazeb “Zeb” Orrelios and Stormtrooper Mission Series set (MS01).

PROS: Faithful representations in terms of sculpt and deco to their animated likenesses. Zeb is a hulking figure, not too dissimilar from the POTF2 Chewbacca which, in and of itself, has an inherent charm. The Stormtrooper is almost a straight reinterpretation of the Vintage Kenner figure with the added benefit of neck articulation. The figures can both stand and hold their weapons well and fit in the new Star Wars Rebels vehicles*.

CONS: Paint is still a slight issue with Hasbro’s product. Depending on your sample, you might get varying degrees of quality on the line work and some bleed over in areas. For example, one of the stormtroopers that I have has the gray “frown” on the helmet completely off center. People are clearly divided on the simplistic articulation as well. For now, this is the only manner in which you can receive Zeb as he’s not slated for a separate carded release, which is too bad considering his main character status. Also of note, the stormtrooper does have a slight color shift in the limbs and head (which are slightly yellow) compared to the bright white body.

*Note Due to Zeb’s width, he can’t fit in the cockpit of the Phantom, but he can ride in comfort in the storage/cargo area.
