Research Droids Reviews: March 21, 2012 – March 27, 2012

Meena Tills - ROTS - Basic (III 47)
Admiral Ackbar set the stage for our unfathomable love of the Mon Calamari species. But honestly, what vintage figure didn’t do that to us? A no-brainer species for the Prequel Trilogy, aside from Tartakovsky’s Clone Wars, the Mon Calamari didn’t make a huge splash in Star Wars folklore until Star Wars Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith....

AT-TE Tank Gunner - ROTS - Basic (III 38)
There were so many clone trooper concepts that never made it to the final version of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith. If you ask us for our opinion, we think that George Lucas tried to fit way too much into the final Star Wars film that he ultimately had to make some sad cuts that had originally been intended for the film....

Tactical Ops Trooper - ROTS - Basic (III 65)
Hasbro introduced collectors to a very unique set of a dozen figures that utilized previous sculpts throughout the current and previous lines that were to be the last two waves of 2005’s Revenge Of The Sith line. This was presented at 2005’s San Diego Comic Con.... (read the full review)

Polis Massan - ROTS - Basic (III 39)
Every new Star Wars film has been great for introducing us to new alien species. And what’s somewhat interesting for Revenge Of The Sith is that we were actually introduced to a species that resembles the definition of what we define as “alien” (as in the Roswell aliens).... (read the full review)

Aayla Secura - ROTS - Basic (III 32)
The Revenge Of The Sith line provided ample opportunity for Hasbro to update many of the Jedi we saw in Episode I and Episode II. Not all of them got great updates, but Aayla Secura received a significantly better one. The blue Twi’lek is notorious for being in the Expanded Universe first and whose popularity from those stories brought her into the films.... (read the full review)

Saesee Tiin - ROTS - Basic (III 30)
One look at 2002’s SW Saesee Tiin (‘02 #20) figure and you know that Hasbro just wasn’t playing fair with collectors. So many of the Jedi from the Geonosis Arena sequence were relegated to miniature plastic statues for the 2002 basic figure line. And while the excitement to buy new Star Wars action figures took over collectors’ bodies, we quickly realized just how poorly designed these figures were.... (read the full review)

Ki-Adi-Mundi - ROTS - Basic (III 29)
Is there another Jedi from the Prequel Trilogy that was more noble than Master Ki-Adi-Mundi? He’s a Jedi character that exemplifies mental shrewdness, physically agility and a seemingly gifted Master of the Force. In comparison, even other seasoned Jedi don’t see to match equally with him in these regards. But then again, that’s just our assessment.... (read the full review)
