Hasbro’s Star Wars Rebels line are flying off the shelves just as fast as stores are stocking them despite the fact these have five points of articulation, as opposed to The Black Series or even The Clone Wars. Sabine is a highly demanded figure due to her being a core-character on the show, and we’ve seen the market prices on this set already double at Amazon and in some cases even more.
The distribution on these are about the same as they’ve been this year as stores are selling out, and not restocking as they used too. So we strongly urge our readers to shop online for Rebels figures, as opposed to driving around and most likely not finding anything each time.
Availability: February 2015
Sculpt & Paint:
Sabine is based on her appearance in the animated series and features two Mandalorian blasters with a holster on either side of her hips. The holsters can hold the weapons, and considering the cost to paint this figure Hasbro did the fans a favor by including them. She is sculpted in her Mandalorian armor and the helmet is non-removable. Her paint deco is also inaccurate to the animated series such as her grey shoulder pad that is shown as silver and gray checkerboard pattern as seen on the show. Other than that, almost everything else is spot on, and she is painted in her pink, grey, brown, and orange.
The Stormtrooper is a reissue from last years Saga Legends line and features a pearl white deco (we know it’s hard to tell that from the image).
Articulation:
5 points of articulation.
Accessories:
Sabine – 2 blasters
Stormtrooper – 1 blaster
Overall:
Sabine has a great deco and a beautiful sculpt that really stands out and we are very happy with how she came out.
Given that Hasbro released Stormtrooper figures with more articulation in the past, this one with 5 points of articulation is best used as standing straight up for enemy target practice, and for the most part, doesn’t do anything for us.
Recommended (for Sabine only).
