Wal-Mart gave me an early Christmas!
Appearance -
It looks pretty damn good! The face is a little off, but my wampa looks considerably better than those I've seen online as far as the eyes go. Not quite, but close enough.
8/10
Articluation -
Difficult to grade this. Wampa has head, arms, legs, and what appears to be 3 waists! No wrists or knees, but I don't know if it'd be possible (and still have the appearance rate so well).

Pose-ability -
There's quite a bit you can do here, I'm very pleased.

Accessory -
A very well crafted ice chunk, and a not-so-interesting chunk of meat. Again, I'm very pleased!

Overall -
Worth the $10! Go out and get him. This guy makes up for the 'sigh' Rieekan.

LOVE the new Wampa. He really stands out standing next to the POTF2 Wampa and Luke set. That Wampa sucks butt next to this new Wampa. Love the sculpt though I do not like the rubbery body.
The removable arm is a nice touch along with the bloody TaunTaun leg.
The base even has a hole to fit Luke's Lightsaber. NEAT!
Great work on this toy. I have to say the best out of the three new Ultra figs.

I totally agree with you! The ice block is an awesome accessory, and the meat is pretty good too. As for the figure, it's almost perfect. I sort of like how they made the arms and legs out of the squishy dog-toy plastic. I don't know about anybody else, but I can only move the top two waists. All in all, a great figure that is worth the money. Buy it if you see it!

On my desk I've got the Saga Wampa attacking the new Saga Cave-whimp Luke, a Saga Tauntaun (Hoth 4 Pack) and the new Saga Hoth Han (Blue) for a rider, and a vintage Wampa attacking a vintage Tauntaun (saddle and rider free).
It's really sort of funny to see how far the Wampas and Tauntauns have evolved.
That was a mouth full. :-[
Quoted by Diddly Doom Squat :
I can only move the top two waists.
My Wampa's waists don't really bend very much.

Speaking of the Wampa's waist, I just got one and discovered mine "pops" apart quite easily at the top waist section. At first I thought I broke it, but it pops back together just as easily. If it's an accident, it's a welcome one--now Luke has the choice of just cutting off his arm or slicing him in half.
My only complaint with the purchase is sloppy gluing of the base piece--I've got some drippy gobs showing at the joint. Other than that, this figure gets a solid A.

I'm really digging the Wampa. The severed arm leaves a bit to be desired, but still really good.
