All the Jedi figures included are debut characters as they&#8217;ve never been released before making these sets truly an anomaly. The Jedi themselves are 14 POA figures using bodies that meet and exceed most colllector&#8217;s expectations &#8211; again a rarity considering these are released in the 2013 Vader packaging which, until now, has been reserved for the limited articulation figures.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CONS (Update):\u00a0<\/strong>This set really would have been a knockout if Hasbro were to have utilized the TVC Phase I Clone Trooper sculpt for Captain Deviss. The original (03\/50) figure is nice, but it pales in comparison to the newer figure. Some collectors seem to balk at the $40 price point but for a set of exclusive, first release figures, I feel the price is fair. It appears that there is a factory error with 2 of the figures in this set. Full details are provided in the <strong>Yak Facts<\/strong> section of the toyguide entry.
