The\u00a0overall sculpt of the figure is sexy\u00a0without being overly sexual &#8211; making it something you wouldn&#8217;t be embarrassed to have on display. Mara has a few display options as well thanks to the included alternate lightsabers, interchangeable cape and hood, and switchout display base inserts. One of the most attractive elements of this piece has to be the hair. It conveys a lot of motion in its sculpting and the use of translucent plastic (most observable at the tips of the hair) enhances the look, especially when backlit. The milky white skin tone is well done also\u00a0and is highlighted with a slight tint of peach to give it depth without coming off dark.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: rgb(68, 68, 68);\">CONS: <\/strong>Not so much a &#8220;con&#8221; as a disappointment as I would have liked an alternate left hand (and holster) that would allow the display of her holding her blaster pistol. I would also say take care in the removal and reattaching of the\u00a0<span style=\"color: #444444;\">switchout <\/span>accessories as the thin wisps of hair may be subject to breakage if you use too heavy a hand.<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"color: #198bff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.yakfaceforums.com\/TGuide2004\/html\/kotobukiya\/bishoujo_mara_jade.html\">Head to the toyguide<\/a>\u00a0for the full image gallery and judge for yourself whether this piece\u00a0is worth adding to your collection.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #444444;\">You can also weigh in with your impressions on the figures we add to our toyguide on\u00a0<a style=\"color: #198bff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Yakfacecom\/202559486798?ref=mf\">facebook<\/a>\u00a0and in our\u00a0<a style=\"color: #198bff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.yakfaceforums.com\/\">forums.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0Yakface Toyguide\u00a0updates resume today\u00a0the newest Star Wars bishoujo &#8220;beautiful girl&#8221; statue from Kotobukiya:\u00a0Mara Jade.
