Willrow Hood

Accessories
Willrow Hood is packaged with a blaster, ice cream maker (EU says it is a memory core), and a build-a-droid piece.

Look and Feel
Hasbro did a great job with Willrow's head sculpt, but I think they went a bit over board with his belly. He looks like he is pregnant verse what I can see in the film. The only other issue I have with this figure is the bottom of the ice cream maker. This thing is supposed to be a memory core that has information about hidden agents. Why would anyone that has secret information slap a logo on the bottom of it. If you read the EU he just drops the thing down a garbage shoot. I realize it is a nitpick, but come on! Otherwise the figure is good representation of the character.

Articulation
Willrow Hood 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
Fans have been calling for this guy forever and Hasbro was very slow to make him (Can you blame them with the whole Yarna thing?). It was nice to get this guy, but now that I have him I am not quite sure what to do with him. Perhaps I will make a shelf of figures that I never would have thought Hasbro would make. Unless you are one of those people that must have everyone (like me) or you're doing a really detailed Cloud City scene, you can probably pass on this guy. Not a very exciting figure.
