The\u00a0Yakface Toyguide<\/a>\u00a0updates resume with our next entry in the\u00a0Mission Series<\/a>\u00a0line as we take a look at the\u00a0Mandalore<\/a> set\u00a0featuring Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Maul.<\/p>\n

PROS:<\/strong>\u00a0 If you like toys, retro-styled toys specifically, that may be all the justification you need purchase this set. Both Obi-Wan and Maul are designed with 5 POA, which for some warrants an obligatory “junk” or “these are crap” comment. But for me, they serve their purpose well as being a kid targeted, budget conscientious alternative to higher priced figures that require a lot of “futzing”. The sculpts for each figure are decent with Maul taking the spotlight being another all new figure and for representing his “final” look in the Clone Wars<\/em>\u00a0series. Obi-Wan is pretty much a retread of the Saga Legends figure but with new arms and a totally different deco overall. Each figure includes only a lightsaber – perfect for dueling one another – \u00a0just like we did with our figures as kids back in the day, remember?<\/p>\n

CONS:\u00a0<\/strong>Fans of the Clone Wars<\/em> figures were disappointed that they didn’t receive a super-articulated Maul in the line and have to settle (at least for now) in having this be the representation for that particular character design. \u00a0The paint apps for Maul’s face is shoddy at best with not a lot of care being given to keeping lines tight and the “horns” on his head resemble a crown of misshapen marshmallows. Yeah, yeah. 5 POA sucks. Hasbro’s ruining Star Wars\u00a0<\/em>toys.<\/p>\n
