| some_guy5's Full Review: Hasbro Star Wars Episode III Shaak Ti Action Figur... |
OK, counting down and I have to run out of Jedi figures to review soon. Shaak Ti is a member of the Jedi Council, and Jedi Master, and pretty cool looking. I don't remember anything of Shaak Ti other than glimpses in the movies, but she is a general during the Clone Wars, so maybe we will see more of her.
Shaak Ti is figure number 21 and a member of the collection number 2 in the Revenge of the Sith series. As far as Shaak Ti's rarity, I always seem to see her in the store, but I never see too many of her, so I guess she is middle of the road hard to find and could conceivably sell out. She will remain in the package like all of my figures. This figure is not recommended for children under the age of four because the small pieces can be a choking hazard. As far as the durability of this series of figures, well I don't open them. But I did open some from Episode I and I can tell you from past experience that the small weapons and accessories will get lost. As a boy I tried so hard to keep track of them and just failed. Slowly but surely the guns and lightsabers disappeared. By and large the figures are durable. The heads can be popped off by abuse or a determined push (for those with heads that rotate), and the hands can be chewed until they no longer function. That is my best guess as to how well this series will hold up.
Shaak Ti is a busy figure so there is going to be a lot to describe. For starters, she stands 3.75 inches tall. Once again, this is a figure with good face detail that closely resembles the photos on the package. Her skin color is like and orange/red/hot pink. It is pretty crazy. She has white patches on her face around her eyes from her cheekbones and up to her forehead. Shaak Ti also has head tails. These are white and blue and stick up from her head, hang down her chest, and hang down her back. The white and blue is a sharp contrast to the red skin.Shaak Ti is wearing a long sleeve brown shirt made of molded plastic. She has a brown skirt made of cloth. The cloth actually seems to have some kind of texture. Shaak Ti also has some sort of ornamental piece hanging from the front of her belt similar to that of Luminara Unduli. Shaak Ti has joints at the shoulders and elbows. She has a blue lightsaber to match her headtails. With no special action move, Shaak Ti comes with the standard terrain base. Once again this one looks like paneling from the floor of a building or ship. Finally, Shaak Ti has an extra piece. She has some sort of mini laptop or communicator. I hope she has friends and family. I think this is one of the more cool looking figures.
Since I don't know much about Shaak Ti's story I will let the package explain it....
Jedi Master Shaak Ti is an esteemed member of the Jedi Council and serves as a General in the Clone Wars. Like all Togruta, she has long head-tails called lekku that have protective pigmentation patterns.
OK. I am not sure how the white and blue stripes on the head-tails protect her, but whatever. To each Togruta her own.
As one of the more flamboyant figures I have seen, I think this is worth a purchase. If nothing else you are getting a General.
