Force Unleashed: Galen Marek (box set)



Galen Marek was raise in Kashyyyk by his father Jedi Kento Marek, which was later then killed by Darth Vader during the Great Jedi Purge.

Darth Vader took Galen and train him in dark arts of the force, which he quickly mastered and was then given the title Apprentice, with the codename "Starkiller".

From his early days of training Marek was told that he would ultimately assist in overthrowing Vader's own Master, Darth Sidious, Dark Emperor of the Galactic Empire.however in reality, Vader and Palpatine only planned to use him to root out those who rebelled against the Empire.

Now, we finally get to have this figure bundle together with the other awesome characters from the Force Unleash video game.

Overview of Figure (with Cape):





Head Sculpt (close up):

Close up of finger detailing:




Articulation: Weapons & Accessories:
1) 1X Light Saber (Sith)
2) 1X Weather Cape
Verdict:
Firstly Thank You, Hasbro for producing this figure. i absolutely love it.

I personally feel that its a very nicely detailed figure. Some scars to enhance his facial features and hinged wrist would have made this figure Awesome. however they didn't, but what the heck, i still love it!

In the accessories department, i should come with an unlit light saber, whereby you can hook on his belt.

Verdict:

All i can say its "Clap,Clap, we have a winner!"

My new favorite figure, in the upcoming CW wave.

The Cape gives the figure attitude and the articulation on the lower body gives the figure its character, as the revised offers more posses.

The only minus points for me on this figure is the color scheme, i actually really like the paint job on the last version.

Can't wait for the carded version to be release..

SKYWALKER (CW42)

Anakin and more of Anakin we are getting!

Here a new version of the epic Hero/Darklord in his "COLD WEATHER GEAR"(CW), as he travels to the Planet Orto Plutonia, to investigate a mysterious disappearances at the plant Republic outpost.

and now to the figure:

Packaging:

Overview Of The Figure:





Articulation:




Weapons & Accessories:
1) 1X light saber
2) 1X arctic hood
(removable)
3) 1X arctic goggles (removable)


My Verdict
With the many different version of Anakin Skywalker out there, be it from the movies or the animated clone wars series, Hasbro would make him! Cause they simply think we cant get enough of him...

To me this figure was essential, cause when Hasbro do come out with its CW version of snowtroopers, this Anakin would make a nice fit to the squad. (btw Captain Rex figure in Arctic gear is images have been release ( http://www.rebelscum.com/photo.asp?image=http://www.rebelscum.com/2010/DSC01354.jpg)

Its actually not a bad figure to get, after looking at it a few times, it does grown on you. or just get it for the squad ! =P
