\"TBS_R5G19_preview\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Yakface Toyguide<\/a>\u00a0updates resume with the addition of\u00a0the\u00a0R5-G19<\/a>, our first entry for the\u00a03-3\/4″ Black Series\u00a0(Blue)<\/a>\u00a0line look.<\/p>\n

PROS:<\/strong>\u00a0New (i.e. never before offered) figures from the Original Trilogy come few and far between these days so it’s nice to add another to the collection and scratch another off the list (Despite the less-than-accurate deco). R5-G19\u00a0recycles the Build-A-Droid\/Droid Factory mold so it’s cross compatible with prior B.A.D.\u00a0figures. Yay! Hasbro retired that bland black and orange card for a nicer TIE Pilot design in a more traditional 6×9 format.<\/p>\n

CONS: <\/strong>The\u00a0inaccuracy of the deco has ruffled a few feathers of diehard astromech collectors, as well as the use of the B.A.D. mold. Although purely anecdotal, R5-G19 has achieved Peg Warmer Status: Level 10 at most of the Toys”R”Us stores I visit.<\/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

You can also weigh in with your impressions on the figures we add to our toyguide on\u00a0facebook<\/a>\u00a0and in our\u00a0forums.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
