The\u00a0Yakface Toyguide<\/a>\u00a0updates continue\u00a0our\u00a0series of additions for\u00a0The Force Awakens<\/em><\/a>\u00a03-3\/4\u2033 line. Next, we\u00a0take a look at\u00a0X-wing Pilot Asty<\/a>\u00a0from wave 2 of the Build-A-Weapon \u201cSnow\u201d assortment.<\/p>\n

PROS:<\/strong>\u00a0Hasbro LOVES X-wing pilots so it’s not surprising that we get a couple right out of the TFA gate with X-wing Pilot Asty. Obviously, not much is known about the character yet, but what we do know is that Hasbro didn’t simply repurpose an existing Poe Dameron\u00a0sculpt, they went all out and tooled another design from the ground up with not a part shared. The alien design is new for Star Wars<\/em>, but familiar at the same time, if that makes sense. Like the other figures in this line,\u00a0\u00a0the sculpt is solid and the articulation is adequate enough for standing around in a Resistance mission briefing or piloting the latest T-70 X-wing. Asty includes a simple blaster pistol which can be stored in a small holster on his right hip. Surprisingly, there are a few easter eggs with this figure as well but I’ll let you read about those on the toyguide page<\/a> itself.<\/p>\n

CONS:<\/strong>\u00a0As discussed previously on the First Order Snowtrooper<\/a>, the pack-in “Build-A-Weapon” accessory is kind of silly, as it \u00a0is a set of skis that serves dual purpose as wings(?) that can be attached to Asty\u00a0courtesy of a hole in his back. Like I said, the BAW concept extends the play of the figures but is really superfluous overall. Don’t get me wrong, the concept is sound, but maybe not necessary.<\/p>\n

Head to the toyguide<\/a> for the full\u00a0image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure\u00a0is worth adding to your collection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
