Bespin Wing Guard (Utris M'Toc)
Accessories
The Bespin Wing Guard is packaged with blaster, hat, baton, and a build-a-droid piece.
Look and Feel
This figure is the same as the last Bespin Wing Guard we got just with a new head sculpt. In the last review I complained about how the hat sat on the figures head and this new version is no different and possibly worse. The new head sculpt gives the figure an even longer head which makes the hat sit even highter on the figure so much so that I will be displaying this figure without his hat. The rest of the body is spot on. The red cuffs on the coat and the gold trim looks great! Like the last figure it seems that his holster is on the wrong side and there was no holster for the baton, but that is nit picking and I would rather have them. They are removable if they bother you.
Articulation
The Bespin Wing Guard 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
In addition to the hat bothering me the shoulder articulation now bothers me. I realize that this figure's sculpt is an old one and that I am comparing this figure to newer version, but Hasbro really has done better of hidding shoulder articulation. This figure, like Jacen Solo has a rectangle shaped hinge that sticks out at certain arm angles that just really bothers me. Having said that, I do enjoy owning this figure as I never thought that we would see this alien Bespin Guard years ago. Now if we could only get an upgraded white Bespin Guard or Asian as some collectors call him.
