WOOKIEE ACTION FIGURE REVIEW

Chancellor Palpatine: Collection 2, Number 39
ARTICULATION: Alrighty, Darth Sidious, errh Mr. Palpatine I mean, has 9 points of articulation (but only 7 really count). He has his head, both arms, both elbows, both wrists and his legs at his shins (but they are covered by his robe so it doesn't really matter). All in all it isn't that bad, articulation wise, for a 'robed' figure.
ACCESSORIES: Well, this is where our Senator, turned Chancellor, turned evil dictator of the republic lacks a lot! He comes with nothing!!!! Arggh I hate it when Hasbro does that! I heard he was originally going to come with a holo Count Dooku or something like that?! I personaly think he should have come with his chair or one of those statues in his office, but what does my opinion count? (if it did we would already have a Dorme' figure)
BEST PART: believe it or not...this action figure looks like the actor...amazing huh? I have to say that the likeness is without a doubt the best part of the toy!
WORST PART: I would say the paint...on all the ones I have seen, the paint on his sleeves looks really sloppy. It is a shame too, cause this figure would be perfect if the paint ops were better!
GRADE: even with sloppy paint, I am giving Palpatine an entire 5 out of 5 on this one!! Way to go Hasbro!
