WAVE 8

Leia in Slave Outfit w/ Neckchain

This figure is certainly not a dissapointment, she is very well sculpted. The only reason she wasn't made in 1983 was because kenner thought that she would be too risky for the market. This figure doesn't look very risky though. Anyway a nice figure who is essential for collectors, she was intentionally short packaged for collectability. GRADE:9.7

Han in Bespin Fatigues w/ Blaster & Rifle

This is probaly the best Han made with the exception of Han Endor. He is essentially a remold of the wave1 Han with a black jacket and brown pants. He looks pretty authentic and is an improvement over the original. GRADE:8.9

EV9D9 w/ Datapad

This is a real nice figure with the exception of one thing; her height is way off! Her card says that she is 1.6 meters tall which is shorter than Luke but she is the tallest figure to date. Anyway she is well detailed and we like the datapad. GRADE:8.8

Gamorrean Guard w/ Vibro Axe

What a cool figure! He is many peoples pick for best figure in the line. He has excellent detail and a very nice vinyl rag around his midsection. The weapon is pretty neat too, only one thing puzzles us why is it called a vibro axe? GRADE:10

Nien Numb w/ Blaster & Rifle

A decent figure, he has great detail and a nifty outfit. He looks just like the one from the movie. The guns are good considering that he never had one in the movie. A slight improvement over the original 1983 figure. GRADE:8.6

Malikali w/ Staff

This is a good figure when you take into consideration all they had to work with was a fat guy who got 30 seconds screen time. Never the less the figure is pretty good, his staff is basically a modified gaderffi stick. The only disadvantage is that his head dress isn't removeable. He even has little dirt spots on his face. GRADE:8.0

Saelt Marae w/ Staff

This figure is highly acclaimed because the original was only available in Canada. The current after market value of the original is about $300 but that is for a carded figure obviously. Anyway this figure is no dissapointment in fact his name is synonomous with wave 8 it is commonly refered to as the Yak Face wave. Some people argue that the original was better, but this guy is pretty nice. GRADE:9.8

Royal Guard w/ Force Pike

We like this figure a lot. It looks great when there is two on both sides of Emperor Palpatine. It is very detailed and when people see it there is kind of an ominous prestige. Very spiffy figure this time he actually has broad shoulders. GRADE:10

Imperial Snowtrooper w/ Imperial Blaster & Backpack

This figure is very nice, we were hoping that kenner would make a non deluxe Snowtrooper. His backpack is awesome and he has a standard Imperial blaster. Nice figure, much nicer than the 1980 version. GRADE:9.0
