Jaina Solo

Accessories
Jaina Solo is packaged with her lightsaber and a build-a-droid piece.

Look and Feel
Jaina Solo appeared mostly in the New Jedi Order and there are some reference drawings of the character and this figure seems to live up to those. The figure is pretty lack luster as it is a female Jedi body with a head sculpted to give Jaina her look. Jaina's outfit is made of all molded plastic and having seen what Hasbro has done recently with the mix of molded plastic and soft goods, this figure would have benefited from the addition of some soft goods to make the figure pop a little. Jaina's head does have some issues moving around as her hair is long in the back which restricts the movement. This is also an issue with her hips because of the molded plastic tunic.

Articulation
Jaina Solo has ball-hinged joints in the neck, shoulders, elbows, knees, and ankles. There are also swivel joints in the wrists, waist, and hips.

Overall Reaction
As is the case with most of the EU figures, this is a niche character. On screen character collectors could use her as a background Jedi for some of the battles from Attack of the Clones however. I was jazzed when I heard we were getting figures of the Solo kids and to be honest this one just didn't do it for me. She is OK, but nothing to write home about. At the end of the day I enjoy that I have a Jaina Solo figure because I loved the stories from the Legacy of the Force books, but can certainly see why fans might skip this figure.
