Of course, Shaak Ti has a cloth skirt as well. Her skirt looks better than most other Jedi with cloth lower robes, mainly because it’s a separate piece of wardrobe from her upper body –as opposed to the plastic to cloth transformation found on figures like Saesee Tinn and Agen The fabric is thin enough to allow for adjusting and there’s plenty of room for leg articulation. Unlike the sculpted skirt on the heavily pre-posed Saga figure, Luminara has a black cloth skirt. The little details look good though: her armbands, belt, front sash, and shin guards all have nice-looking relief work. The headdress looks accurate enough but should have been made out of softer plastic to allow easier neck and shoulder movement. Luminara has the simplest sculpt of the three which is why she places the lowest. Sculpting - Shaak Ti, Aayla Secura: *** ½ Luminara Unduli: ***įirst off all of these figures look good, but I started to get a bit nit-picky the more I looked at them. There are a few eBayers selling these things at a little over a buck each in wholesale lots. There’s also good news for MOC collectors, now that the Protech Star Case 3 is out –specifically designed for ROTS cards. No word on whether one is rarer than the other. For you variation collectors out there, some of the Vader helmet artwork is tinted purple, the rest blue. For those of us who collect carded figures this is going to be a pain in the butt. You still have to rip the blister off of the card to open them, so why not just stamp the entire thing on like all previous carded figures, as opposed to just the top? The die-cut design while visually striking also seems to attract stress damage more, compared to the rectangular cards. While I absolutely dig the design of the card and bubble, as well as the excellent backer-card art, I find the taped blister edges a bit sloppy. I’ve got a love/hate thing going on with the new packaging. Certainly there was plenty of room for work in the immobile Saga versions of Luminara and Shaak as well, so tonight we’ll see how Hasbro’s retooled versions of the these three ladies compare.
I was impressed with the Saga version back then, but there was still room for improvement. Aayla was part of the first Star Wars review I ever did for Mr. Aayla came later, complete with ball-jointed shoulders and a unique section of latex “skin” around her bust line. Shaak and Luminara were basically statues with a little arm movement.
These ladies popped up once before in the AOTC Saga line. It’s time for an action-feature-free review boys and girls! Up tonight are three figures that we’ve all seen before: Shaak Ti, Aayla Secura, and Luminara Unduli. I’ve got more Revenge of the Sith figures for y’all, boy have I got more. Sean Teeter, the College Bum, is back tonight with another terrific Star
