Let's finish up the second wave of The Black Series with Princess Leia (Slave Outfit), a 6-inch figure that asks the question "so when do we get Jabba?" She's short, but so is Carrie Fisher. Is this truly the best Hasbro can do, or just their first attempt? Read on!
So kids, let's upgrade to the 6-inch Han Solo, which has alternate belts and alternate hands. You'll probably spend at least an hour just futzing with him once you open one - it's quite good and fun to mess with. You get two guns, too. Could you ask for more? Yes. Read on!
Now here's one you'll like. Pablo-Jill was released a few years ago with an excellent statue of a figure - gorgeous - but this new one is way more articulated, with the best wrists I've seen on any Jedi figure to date. Actual ball-and-socket wrists make this completely articulated figure streets ahead of the competition, easily making it the best prequel Jedi of the season. Read on!
