This week we're going to wrap up the Tatooine Wave with an (as usual) in-depth review of the first alien you see in the Cantina sequeince...
Clicky button to ready review...
The review for Hem was a pretty pleasant one overall on my end of things... I don't know if I'm growing used to it or... wait, screw that, of course I'm not growing used to it, I hate the fact this figure lacks knee joints. Yes, Hem Dazon falls prey to Hasbro's lack of "fun" this year by also being completely left out in the cold on knee articulation.
Why Hasbro? Come on guys, get with the program...
That said, the figure has a lot to love... The arm articulation is quite acceptable, the holster is nifty, the bandoleir accessory is a wonderful plus (and adds to the figure aesthetically), the "look" of the outfit is definitely able fit in with the 70's looks of some of the Cantina aliens but the legs/arms, and his general shape (especially the legs) make him something completely alien looking and help him to stand out from the other more human shaped aliens.
That's cool...
The figure wound up winning me over, much like Garindan did, despite my initial apprehension at early photos of Hem Dazon. The leg articulation will be a disappointment forever and always rank up there in my "Cons" portions but Hem had a lot more to love than hate, so read on for the whole review to see why he's a worthy purchase...
Now if we could just please get Hasbro to make figures AT LEAST up to the quality of the 2004/05 POTC Cantina Wave, we'd be in business for all glowing reviews of their wares.
Come on Hasbro you KNOW you want to do it.
Hell I'd do without ball/socket shoulders for ball/socket knees. How about you?
