Who here actually like the force and blast effects on the new figures?
I don't, well on most of them, I don't mind the little blasts that come with Boba Fett, Captain Typho and Djas Puhr, the ones on the Battle droid are a little bit too big for my liking and the lightning running down his leg and arm are awfull. I love the new lightsaber blades, they just give it that bit more of a burning effect, the blasts that go on the end however I dont like, Shaak Ti's is O.K but would have been better without it, but the ones on Luminara and Qui-Gon are a bit much, they branch off in too many directions. The Super Battle Droid's chest blast looks awful, it just doesn't look like it's supposed to be a blast. Out of the jedi, Yoda's lightening is too floppy and looks silly anyway, with Nikto, it's either one or the other with his lightsaber and that thing that looks like it's designed to hypnotise, no contest I chose lightsaber. Plo Koon looks like he's about to stab someone with a broken bottle and Seasee Tiin looks like he's holding a large flower that's started to melt, The electric effect on the Geonosians staff isn't too bad but would look better without. But the two I absolutly detest are Dexter Jettsters cleaver, no need to have electric on that, it looks like he was about to cut a Goober fish's head of, missed and hit a wire running across the table, and Jar Jar Bink's staff, for a start there is absoloutly no need for this figure to come with any accesories, let alone a weapon, but why does it have to have electric running down it, he was not even in the film much, and was not once seen doing anything remotly battle related, silly!
What are your thoughts?
Blast effects, love 'em or loath 'em?
