A refreshing notion coming off of a nasty drought of quality products. The last version of this scene-specific figure was back in 2002 and it featured that wonky quickdraw (throw the gun across the room) action feature, so finally that one can be retired mercilessly. It is a solid figure all around with a nice sculpt and exacting details. Even the color of the outfit is better and isn\u2019t so stark white as with previous iterations. The \u201cnexu damage\u201d applied to her back is well sculpted and is finished off with bloody scratches.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CONS:\u00a0<\/strong>Was a total retool really necessary? For all the times that Hasbro sites tooling costs as a prohibitor for new figures, it seems that they could have retooled the torso and one arm to keeps costs in check. The likeness, while good, is a step backward from the previous (TLC) Geonosis outfit figure which looked more like Ms. Portman.\u00a0One final issue is with the mismatch joint in her right arm .
