Mandalorian Police Officer

Accessories
Mandalorian Police Officer is packaged with a nightstick, shield, and a rocket launcher.

Look and Feel
The Mandalorian Police Officer does a decent job of recreating the character that was seen on the show. Unfortunately this figure has a lot of issues. The biggest issue I have with this figure is the articulation which will be discussed in the next section. Above the articulation, the shield that goes over the figure's face is horrible! If you display your figure with the shield up it isn't so bad, but as soon as you want to put it over the figure's face you will have problems. My figure's face shield falls all the way down to his chin and just doesn't click into place over his eyes. In the photos I took I had to almost balance this piece to make it look like it fits correctly. In addition, it almost looks like it was put on the figure upside down. I do like the paint apps on this figure and the sculpt of the face is dead on. One neat feature this figure has is a clip to attach the nightstick to on his belt. Unlike most figures I have reviewed recently all accessories that come with this figure fit in his hands very well.

Articulation
Mandalorian Police Officer has ball-hinged joints in the neck, shoulders, and elbows. He also features a swivel joints in the wrists, waist, and hips. The articulation for this figure is subpar and really brings these figures back to the way they were made at the beginning of the line. With no articulation in the legs, you are forced to try to balance the Mandalorian Police Officer by having him lean back to hold the rocket launcher or shield which makes the figure look ridiculous.

Overall Reaction
When I first saw this figure I thought that I might buy at least two of them to have a mini police force, but after getting what I would consider a troop builder with no leg articulation I decided not to buy another one. The lack of articulation coupled with the issues I have had with the face shield have me wishing that I had not purchased this figure at all. In my opinion, this is a figure you should pass on unless your are a completionist. Really too bad considering he is such a cool looking character.
