I won the JF Boga & Obi-Wan on eBay. Since it wasn't released here, I succombed to the temptation (it's so cute!)
I got it for around $60 US dollars I think. (that was converted from British lbs sterling) If Hasbro released it here, it would have cost me under $20. Oh well. It's not like I'm buying a lot anyway this year (and most of SideShow's stuff is very much delayed).
Well I love my Boga and Obi-Wan. The lizzard is soft, rubbery plastic and has a new scent to sniff when you put it up to your nose. The legs are very poseable, but pop off easily. It's fine for an adult that thinks these things are cute and might just display it and occasionally admire it. I'm not sure if it wouldn't send a small child into a state of tears though (that Boga "got hurt")
should one of her legs fall off during play.
Obi-Wan is great. His lightsaber is the AOTC/TPM version instead of the ROTS one, though. There's no Jedi robe, he's in his white tunic, but he's fun to mess around with and he holds his lightsaber and Boga's reigns well. It would be sweet if they made a Jedi Force Commander Cody to go with him.
I've bought almost all the JediForce stuff, but this is the first one I've opened. Anakin will likely be next. I don't know if this line will continue, but this piece was even worth paying too much for (I was a big fan of Boga's ever since I saw ROTS).
Anyway, I say: "buy it, sniff it, enjoy it!"
