While Ric &#8220;Captain Obvious&#8221; Oli\u00e9 was a great figure in 1999, this new version is simply great, especially the likeness of actor Ralph Brown. The generic Naboo Pilot is no slouch either. He features a completely nondescript portrait making him the perfect army builder for any Naboo display or hangar diorama so you&#8217;ll want a few to pilot those new N-1 starfighters due in a couple weeks, but they&#8217;ll work with the original 1999 vehicle just fine. Finally, the inclusion of the soft goods overcoat completes both of these figures nicely as does the removable helmet, both of which are unique sculpts to each figure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CONS:<\/strong>\u00a0Having two virtually identical figures as separate, concurrent exclusives seems like a odd move, but the line has to pay for all those other repaints and repacks some how, right? The color of the plastic coat seems a bit too brown when compared to the on-screen costume. In another strange move, the Naboo Pilot, not Ric Oli\u00e9, will be making his way to the Vintage Collection &#8211; everybody say it with me &#8211; pegwarmer!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yakfaceforums.com\/TGuide2004\/html\/MH12\/DTF\/DTF09.html\">Head to the toyguide<\/a>\u00a0for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether these figures are 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\u00a0updates resume today with a &#8220;two-for-one&#8221; special since they are both so closely related.
