once again wraithnine here with a new Clone Wars Review .
this time its the turn of the arch baddie himself ..sidious
once again this figure comes with the Nahdar Vebb redemption form
Also picked this up from StarActionFigures for the princely sum of £8.95
sidious comes with his lightsaber and clip on sith lightning
he has a solid cowl and a soft goods robe (unfortunatly the robe is thin) so it looks a bit strange with the solid cowl.
ARTICULATION:
well...errr lacklustre is a word that springs to mind he has ball jointed head (altho the range of movement is so small that you would think there wasn't any!),shoulders and elbows with swivel wrists and waist. the lower half of the body has no articulation WHATSOEVER! and thus he is a pig to stand.
PAINT APPS :
well the paint apps are fine ,the high points are the face and hands which are superb ,special mention must go to the facial and hand sculpts which are utterly brilliant! but unfortunatley that isnt enough to save this figure from mediocrity.
the lightening is a clip on affair and as such looks a bit silly on the figure.
the lightsaber is a single piece one and the hilt is well sculpted.
as a standing figure he is quite effective at projecting menace as an action figure it is an utter failure sorry Hasbro..........
i give this figure 5/10 its o.k. but thats about it.
