My Comments:

Likes:
- Over design SPOT ON! close to the concept art (image shown below)

- Color and weathering its just beautiful....(its a lot redder/orange, don't know why each time when i upload pics to the blog, the color runs a little)

Dislikes:
- One coloring of the blaster riffle! lacks the coloring & detailing (blaster looks like something for a G.I.JOE figure) to match such a nice & detailed droid.

- Articulation could be better! a "ball hinged" wrist should be given.

My Verdict:

LOVE It, very nicely done! in-fact his upgrade HK-50 is nicer with black & silver finishing.

The one color blaster was a real turn off to the figure, they should have just added a little more color to match this awesome figure!

Articulation could be improve! hopefully the upgrades get them, a ball hinged wrist could do wonders, thus giving it more poses with its blaster rifle.

Overall a great figure to pick up!

However getting it, may be the biggest problem as you need to collect all them figure in the wave to complete him! Thus the word "Build a droid"

Dam You Marketers and your Evil Marketing scheme's!

or you get a completed one on e-bay! but it comes with a cost!


Rating: 9/10

Toyshop: various shops!

  3. Ok, thanks :)

    Hasbro sales is a good thing - trouble is, there's nothing in Penang to buy :P

    But now I need to start saving for all the new waves coming soon...

    I really don't understand Hasbro. They say the Legacy Collection is struggling, yet they make that the series with the most figures!

  5. I wish I could come down to KL this weekend, but I'm meeting up with some friends in Langkawi instead :P

    As for sales, the figures I need are yet to come to Malaysia through Hasbro ;) It's from the 2009 BD waves.

    But Langkawi is not going to help with my savings account :p :P :P
