The light-up blade is intense and looks very cool once illuminated. Surprisingly, there is a good amount of articulation in the figure overall &#8211; save for the right arm. Figure looks great with a soft goods robe (not included) to hide the figure&#8217;s larger torso.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CONS:<\/strong>\u00a0Obviously, this figure won&#8217;t be for everyone. The torso is rather bulky to accommodate the electronics and batteries. The right arm is sculpted in a static pose, again to allow for the electronics. Lightsaber blade only stays illuminated when button is held down* &#8211; a toggle switch would have been welcome. Batteries are non-removable so future replacement and eventual corrosion is an issue.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yakfaceforums.com\/TGuide2004\/html\/MH12\/basicfigures\/MH16.html\">Head to the toyguide<\/a>\u00a0for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is 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<p>*Illuminated image above and within the toyguide gallery was achieved by rigging the activation button in the &#8220;on&#8221; position.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0Yakface Toyguide\u00a0updates resume today with the next addition for\u00a0the\u00a02012 &#8220;Darth Maul&#8221; product line.
