Willrow Hood BD-53
« on: December 06, 2009, 08:09:59 AM »
Got this one at Walmart for $7.47
Seen in the background in cloud city, Willrow hood apparently is seen toting a computer memory core which contains information about secret transactions with the rebel alliance. Willrow is despatched to destroy the core so that the invading Empire doesnt learn of these transactions.  This core is kind of shaped like an ice cream maker and for this reason, this much requested figure almost always was referred to as "the ice cream maker guy"

The figure itself is a great representation of the on-screen character and features pretty much perfect coloring and facial features. this facial sculpt is spot on, folks. He is quite super arty and the computer core looks pretty close. he includes a blaster and the computer core and would work great for a background fig or even for a photo novel character. Of special interest is his "beer" gut which is a realistic added touch.

 I wasn't really looking for this specific figure to add to my collection but picked him up for the BAD part that is included which, this time, is the left arm for the HK-50 figure.

LOL. Good one, I will have this. Nice review. I will get it added to the fp I promise, but not today. I can hear my football team calling me.

On that note folks, notice the "Imperial Review" title button is now linked to the Review arhives so we don't loose any of your great reviews. We will use it as a TOC for the future. Once again the section that you guys inspired. Ofcourse Clint, you started us all off and we won't forget it. Thanks folks.

I think the beer gut is hilarious on the "ice cream maker guy'   I'll get it just because I fondly recall OCB's relentless pursuit to get this fig made, I wonder what Scotts up to these days,  anyhow, good review and I look forward to seeing this one on the pegs.
