![]() ![]() ![]() The cannons and the nose of the fighter are packed separately from the main vehicle, so they have to be attached, and there are also a few small decals to be placed inside the cockpit. Let’s be honest here, nobody was really buying this set for the figure, were they? No, the selling point is the awesome X-Wing fighter he’s meant to fly! Out of the box, there’s a tiny bit of required assembly. The helmet is actually really cool, if perhaps slightly oversized, and the gun looks to be the same piece included with Goss Toowers. Poe includes a helmet and a small blaster. There’s a fair bit of bleed over in several areas, and the edges of the vest are fairly fuzzy. The rest of the paint is passable, but nothing tremendous. At the very least, it’s got a slightly better paint job (though the skin tone is definitely too pale). It’s not a perfect match for Oscar Isaac, but it isn’t terrible either. I liked it well enough when I reviewed that figure, and I like it well enough here. The head sculpt is shared with the “Armor Up” version of the character. The vest seems a little soft in some areas, but not terribly so. The jumpsuit has a reasonable amount of texturing and there’s some nice layering to the sculpt. Poe’s body looks to be the same one that was used on the single release Poe, though I don’t actually have one to compare. The figure is 3 ¾ inches tall and has the same 5 points of articulation as all the other 3 ¾ inch Force Awakens figures. Seeing as the name of this set is “Poe’s X-Wing Fighter,” it’s not really a huge shock that the included pilot is Poe Dameron. The X-Wings have made a triumphant return in The Force Awakens, and a triumphant return to the toy aisles with today’s focus, Poe’s X-Wing Fighter. One of the more distinctive ships was the X-Wing fighter, the main ship of all our favorite Rebel pilots. See, the ships were a key piece of the story, since you can’t very have those titular “Star Wars” without them. However, this time I’ll actually be looking at something from the new movie.īack when Kenner had just gotten the Star Wars license, and they were deciding on scale, George Lucas was adamant that the figures be small enough that in-scale ships were still a possibility, which led to the decision to use the 3 ¾ inch scale, and ultimately had an undying impact on the action figure industry as a whole. For day 7 of the Post-Christmas gift reviews, I’ll be venturing back into that galaxy far, far away. ![]()
