I didn't either, but a video review of these new releases (sorry, can't remember which one) made a good point: with one side angled with the art on it, you can see everything on a row of pegs in the store without having to awkwardly lean in and flip through them. Would need to see them lined up to see if that actually works, but it's pretty smart if it did.
Looks wise it almost identical beyond the updated face deco. That has been the case with all the re-releases and Archive figures so no surprise there. I can say that the plastic used on the lightsaber hilts on this one seem a bit harder and the plastic on the head tails or whatever they are seem a bit more pliable. I'm not currently home so I can't compare to the original release right now but based off memory the materials seem altered for the better. I could be completely wrong though.
Again based on memory they are the same color.
Cool. Thanks for the info. I saw some side by side Ezra shots and the face print looked slightly different and some of the colors in his jumpsuit were slightly different. I like to see what updated paints they use. Often they differ slightly. IG88 archive was lighter as was the yellow on Bossk.
After comparing the 2 figures (original vs. re-release) they are basically the same construction wise. I was not correct about the head tails and lightsaber hilts - they are essentially identical to the original release. I think MAYBE the knee joints are a bit sturdier but it could just be my copy of the figure. The somewhat floppy nature of the shoulders/elbows/ankles still persists.
It is. Ahsoka and Kanan are scheduled for next month. Everyone got shorted those figures for now
