Title: Lott Dod
Post by: Angry Ewok on March 24, 2003, 09:46 PM

After months of waiting, Wal-Mart has finally stocked something new! I bought anything remotely new with exception to the new Destroyer Droid and Yoda in Council Chair. Both looked sweet, but I've got 2 DD's from Ep1 and a EP1 Yoda in Chair too.

Appearance -
Looks okay... Something is missing, and something is odd. The arms are oddly positioned, and the paint is a bit dull. Anyway, he's decent looking.
8/10

Articluation -
Nope. Head, Waist, 2 arms.... 4 points aint getting nothing. Palpatine and Orn Free Ta have over 7 or 8... no excuse for this senator to have less.
2/10

Pose-ability -
Well, if you pose his arms, his coat thing pops over his neck. I can't give this a good grade either.
1/10

Accessory -
A holo of Sidious... I don't recall this being in the movies, but it's nice to have something. Extra points for a detatchable hat, which I'll grade as an acc.

3/10

Overall -
Huge disapointment... Lack of articulation killed the pose-ability of this figure, which is what I require to make me happy. I will give props for a removable hat.

3.5/10

Your low rating here could explain why it's one of the biggest peg warmers at my local Targets and TRU's.

I think this figure is more of a tribute to old school type kenner figs, seriously. He's very basic, and he really was a basic figure. I think for what he is, it fits, and he makes a good figure. I mean if i was still a kid, I would want him, and i'd have him doing the talking and being lame role, cause that is what he is for. I think the figure allows this to happen. Granted, I'm sure there are areas they could have made better, but isn't EVERYTHING able to be made better ALWAYS? nothing is perfect.  :P

Thanks to CHEWIE's advice a few months ago at RS (am I allowed to mention that place here?  :-X ) I have now purchased 10 Lott Dodd figures.  The body and robe makes an excellent framework for generic alien senators...walrusmen, Ithorian hammerheads, mon calamari, quarren, you name it!
