    Super Battle Droid (30-08) Review


    Paint Apps: This figure is mostly blue so it’s painted well and they put a nice black wash over it to make it look weathered. There’s also a red dot on his left shoulder present.
    5/5

    Sculpt: The sculpt on the figure is nice and accurate! It’s fairly tall and looks great! All the joints are very well hidden and my only complaint is that there’s 2 holes in its chest to put the fire piece but that’s ok.
    5/5

    Articulation: This figure has ball-jointed shoulders, swivel/pivot elbows (same range as ball-joint), ball-jointed waist, swivel knees, and swivel hips. There’s no foot articulation or head articulation but that can be forgiven since the real Super Battle Droid can’t move its head and foot articulation is not necessarily needed. The swivel knees is good since the real Super Battle Droid has that and the inclusion of swivel/pivot elbows makes the range on them remarkable for a Super Battle Droid!
    5/5

    Accessories: Like all TAC figures, this comes with a neat coin which has a Super Battle Droid on the front and the CIS Symbol on the back. This figure also has 2 flame pieces which hook onto his chest via pegs and his left leg. It looks cool and fits with the TAC R2-D2 figure which is a nice gimmick!
    5/5

    Value: For $6.99, you get the best Super Battle Droid ever produced by Hasbro. I say it’s worth it!
    5/5

    Overall: This is a great figure and perfect to army build so your clones have something to battle.

    Overall Rating: 25/25

    With a guest appearance by McQuarrie Boba Fett!

    That pic with McBoba is great. I might have to steal that idea.

    Yeah I've been waiting to do that ever since I got Boba. Go ahead and steal it. Make it way better than mine!

    I have to disagree with your articulation. You still can't pose the arm in the "Present Arms/Parade Rest" whatever you want to call it. Its much better then the origional, but still has some work to be done.

    If they tried to incorporate that into a figure of this size, it would be a VERY fragile joint that would break with normal child play. I didn't deduct because say bye bye to the elbows if they did that. The peg for the elbow joint would have to be in the forearm and that's too skinny to hold such a peg.

    Yeah, that's a great idea. Nice. It might work with Final Battle Jango too.
