Did you have to mod the heads at all, or are they just able to pop right on?
We've seen alll four heads now, right (the super-articulated, the 2-pack with Rey, the BB-8 playset, and the Toys R Us exclusive set)? I haven't pulled up pics to compare the four yet. |

Praetorian Guards have small hand syndrome btw.
I'm quality testing one right now. I'm surprised how small they are. *edit: Yeah, they're completely reliant on the thumbs. The hands are tiny. . . . . . *edit 2: Okay, the hands really are too reliant on the thumbs. The hands are too soft and small for the effect they went for.. the result is the hand, particularly the thumb is super easily damaged. We broke a few hands already. Be careful guys, use guns or weapons with thinner handles or rubbery weapons.

The 5Poa head hole is bigger than the TBS. i believe the bb8 playset guard is the same as the TBS guard but in 5poa. I think there are only 3 different ones.

Okay guys, I'm gonna make an exception for Old Man Luke. 3.75 Black Series because he scored so bad.
His overall product grade is a D+ to C- range. (Details below) ...... Old man Luke looks spectacular. However, the mechanics of the figure's articulation and posing schemes are horrifically designed. All of the extra movement in the legs is wasted, and the arms are barely useful. The head can not be tilted in any meaningful fashion, it swivels on a linear axis. Every articulation movement wasted was scored as double negative because it was wasted Hasbro's money on top of wasting the consumer's money. Old Luke's hands are essentially useless and made of incredibly soft plastic not intended to hold accessories. They're too soft and again too small. We managed to stress and damage the hands on 50 out of 50 copies over a 2 day period. The head socket restricts movement and shows cost cutting. The body forces the arms in an unusable V pose (look at it from top down when you outstretch his arms in front of him) Oh and the lower skirt is so hard, it negates all leg movement. You can use the skirt itself to stand Luke up and put his legs to the side, the skirt is that hard. Also good to note, the lower arms and lower leg pieces are made of a softer plastic, so they're prone to breaking. You know, the parts closest to the foot and legs, the most handled parts of the figure. At least the cloak is nice. Except he doesn't come with anything else. . . . . . . . For $13-12. . . . . . they must really expect Mark Hamill to sell for his face and his face sculpt alone. If you want any reasonable leg movement, I recommend Exacto knifing parts of the skirt on the sides. |

I'm pretty happy with Luke, is he perfect, no. I agree with arms, hands and skirt. In the black series for this scale they seem to put more attention to detail in Jyn and Kylo and other new characters, than Leia, Han and Luke for some reason.

It just makes me really sad and tired. I've given so many D's on product scores this year, especially water guns this summer. This is the first C to D score our staff have given to a Star Wars figure in years without 5 POA and age of sculpt being a factor. |

I actually saw Swivel-Arm Vader yesterday at Walmart. Is he still in circulation? I thought that was a couple years old. I think I heard he also can't really hold his saber, but the one I saw looks like he can as long as you don't mind him being a lefty.
