The sculpt captures the essence of the character and is enhanced by a quality deco which gives high- and lowlights to the fur. This figure also has some heft to it, but surprisingly, it&#8217;s not one of the largest Wookiee figures we&#8217;ve been offered over the years. Merumeru boasts a fair amount of accessories &#8211; all of which are new &#8211; including a great blaster and a two-piece battle staff with a headpiece that has some great detail\/decoration which augments its phallic shape.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CONS: <\/strong>Hasbro (in what was surely a cost-saving measure) eliminated the waist joint &#8211; the result is a figure that leaves you wanting. The sculpted dreadlocks prohibit any real range of motion for the head.<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yakfaceforums.com\/TGuide2004\/html\/TBS\/basic\/TBS_15.html\">Head to the toyguide<\/a>\u00a0for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this piece is worth adding to your collection.<\/p>\n<p>You can also weigh in with your impressions on the figures we add to our toyguide on\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Yakfacecom\/202559486798?ref=mf\">facebook<\/a>\u00a0and in our\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.yakfaceforums.com\/\">forums.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0Yakface Toyguide updates resume with our next entry in the The Black Series 3-3\/4\u2033 line.
