Topic: The 2013 Yoda Jedi Attack Fighter Deluxe Pack

[wraithnine]

Wraithnine here with another review ,today i am reviewing the 1 of the new 2 figure and vehicle packs

First thing the Diorama is still there but the stand dice and game card have gone ,but overall i like the new packaging,


first up the vehicle ,now this is an excellent little fighter

nice paint apps nice moldings ,more than a little underscaled
it has an opening cockpit to place figures in,you also get a little removable bucket seat that can be removed so that normal sized figures can fit (a nice touch)


the droid head can be removed and replaced with any BAD droid head so there is lots of scope for customisation


the missile pods are manual affair that just pull out and they fire push button spring loaded missiles



The Figures:
well this is where it all goes downhill
the Yoda comes with 2 accessories a cane and a lit lightsaber

the figure itself comes with a soft goods jedi robe ,the head has a head set molded on and it might be just me but he looks as miserable as hell.

the figure has below average articulation he has:
ball jointed head and shoulders swivel wrist and hips and thats it..

now the Super Battle Droid
hold onto your hats :
this figure is truly ....dreadful
it feels very cheap and the plastic on the lower legs is very soft  it has preposed legs  so it doesnt like to stand .
as for articulation Hasbro has spoilt us with 4 (yes you heard right 4) points of artie swivel shoulders and hips and thats it.


so in summary you have  a great little ship with a crap figure and a shite figure..
i think you can see where all the money went in this pack

I'm pretty sure that the SBD is a reissue of the AOTC DLX Yoda/SBD 2pk one (making this the second time this particular SBD has been paired with a Yoda figure).

If anyone gets more than one of this set and wants to trade the BAD droid dome, LMK

Nice review Jay, on the front page. I need to do some new buttons for the review section on the fp and this one is definitely gonna be on the list.

Nice review! The ship is a lot cooler than I imagined, I love the customization options this vehicle has, the interchangeable droid dome is a really nice touch on Hasbro's part. The Yoda is disappointing, but I was gonna stick my VC Yoda in it anyway. The soft goods look decent though, and a spare Yoda cane never hurts. I really wish they'd throw in TVC SBD instead of that one, but oh well. Thanks for the run down on this vehicle!

does the R2 unit drag it's "feet" under the wings?

LOL. For the win Spooky. I still think its pretty cool they have made it able to use different astro domes though.

I  was excited about this when I saw it in the NY convention pics (I think thats where I saw it) and i'm still excited about it now! I can fix the yoda and get a better SBD out of my fodder bin,  awesome review!
