VOTC Yoda

[plasticfetish]

I wasn't going to review this figure really. As a matter of fact I didn't even intend to buy one to open, but since I just scored one on clearance, I've been taking pictures of it loose (finally) for the Database.

Somewhere after having only had this thing out of the package for about 20 minutes, this happened...

(Short review: I hate this figure.)

Looks like your VOTC Vader got ahold of him.

Might I ask why his frock appears to be red? I'm not the most learned man but I always thought that it was tan.

You said "frock". That's a funny word.

It appears that hasbro used smoke and mirrors on us with some of these VOTC figures (Leia, Yoda, Lando, C3PO). They showed us vintage cards with nice clamshell protectors, and we gloated and bought all of them. However, once an individual opens the package and tries to pose or play with the figure, it breaks.

Good thing I didn't open them, except for that Vader I bbought two of.

I bought two of Vader, Fett, and Chewie. 4 of the stormie. I only plan on opening the Chewie, Fett and Vader. The stormies will be open when I do dioramas.

Poor Yoda...that's why I keep my figures unopened, 'cause I'm very used to break things and I wouldn't like to see A Luke without head (if he already doesn't have hand) or a Vader without a leg.

(Yeah, "frock" is a funny word.) On the vintage Yoda, when you take his little tan robe off it's a kind of grey/brown color underneath. Here it's a kind of reddish brown (beef jerky) color.

In all fairness, I rarely have problems with figures breaking. I open just about everything, and I've only had things fall apart, right out of the package, a half dozen times at best. Considering that I have... you know, hundreds of Star Wars figures now, that's pretty good I think.

The real bummer here, is that the second you have this thing loose, it's pretty obvious that it wasn't built for "play." Which is a shame, because it has some really nice articulation for such a small figure. It's just very flimsy.

Thats because of the size and how much articulation it has. If it had less articulation, it most likely would have stayed together.


HOw do the Fett, Chewie and Vader hold up? Have there been any issues with loose limbs?
