The\u00a0Yakface Toyguide<\/a>\u00a0updates resume with our next entry in the\u00a0The Black Series<\/a>\u00a03-3\/4\u2033 line. Today, we take a look at\u00a0Jabba’s Skiff Guard<\/a>\u00a0(#27).<\/p>\n

PROS:<\/strong>\u00a0Sgt. Doallyn.\u00a0Brock Starsher.\u00a0Jabba’s Skiff Guard #3 on the left. Whatever you call him, this figure is pretty much what we’ve been waiting for since he started popping up on fan wishlists. It features all the articulation collectors require and as decent, if not passable, amount of detailing in the outfit. He’s great for scene filler in any diorama where you’d need a bounty hunter,\u00a0thug, palace or cantina patron.<\/p>\n

CONS:\u00a0<\/strong>For a figure with sparse paint apps, you’d think they could tighten up the tolerances a little bit as the copper stripes that run on the chest are a tad careless. The head is a smudge under scaled and I’m not sure that shade of yellow was the best choice for the neck post, but who knows\u00a0what his skin looks like underneath that ensemble he’s wearing – neither nitpicks are a deal breaker. Hasbro (again) cheaped out on the paint apps for the weapons which just feel flat and rubbery especially the blaster.\u00a0Finally, the black paint on the boots was applied too thin in spots, so the white\u00a0plastic shows through in areas. Your individual experience may vary of course.<\/p>\n

Head to the toyguide<\/a>\u00a0for the full\u00a0image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure\u00a0is worth adding to your collection.<\/p>\n
