I wasn't excited about this figure coming out again.
Especially because I had paid almost twice as much for
him a couple of years ago when he was packaged as a
deluxe. But if you didn't get him, well here’s your
chance. Quite possibly your LAST chance to get
him.
Here are my subjective and objective reviews for the
figure:
Head Sculpt:
Here I think the head is a bit too long, but other
than that it’s a good sculpt. Though one eerie
observation that I've made, along with many others, is
the striking resemblance to John Kerry, one time U.S. presidential candidate. heh heh
Rating 3 out of 5 Holocrons
Articulation:
Wow, is this a vintage figure? With only the neck,
shoulders and hips, it’s gotta make you wonder if he
wasn't pulled from a 1980’s mold and not one from
today.
Rating 1.5 out of 5 Holocrons
Paint Application:
At least the paint is decent. He looks like his
onscreen persona.
Rating 3 out of 5 Holocrons
Overall sculpt:
The sculpts not bad. Just standard.
Rating 2.5 out of 5 Holocrons
Accessories:
Blaster and figure stand. Sheesh, at least they could
have packed in the display screen and table that came
with him as a deluxe figure. That might have made him
more popular.

Customization possibilities:
Hmm, swap his head with Derlin’s and you might have
something. Really though the figure is practically
worthless for customizing. Oh oh, wait I forgot the
John Kerry factor. Okay, go find yourself a figure in
a suit in the same scale. swap heads and there you've
got it! A failed boring democratic nominees for President...(And no hating, cause I'm a Democrat too!)
Rating 1.0 out of 5 Holocrons
Playability:
With virtually no articulation, there’s not much you
can do with him. He’s more a "Display Only," type of figure.
Rating 1 out of 5 Holocrons
Overall Score:
Crappy articulation really doesn't help this character
and really detracts from the playability and
collectibility of this figure. Since he’s only packed
one per case and only in one case assortment, it’s
unlikely that this figure will peg warm and that’s
about the brightest point to him. Sad but true.I liked
him when he came with the table, but otherwise I'll
take a pass on him again.
