This review is from: Star Wars AOTC Shaak Ti Action Figure (Toy)
I collect the figures for display, and I have to say, the look of Shaak Ti is incredible...I have no kids, so the figure is used for my sole purposes, and I love it! I dont think it's the best figure that they've introduced, but it does look really cool having Shaak Ti deflect bolts back at the targets..

This review is from: Star Wars AOTC Shaak Ti Action Figure (Toy)
This is the first Star Wars Chapter 2 figure I've purchased, and may well be the last. I collect toys as a hobby, and before the film's opening, I saw this in a Toys R Us, and was amazed by the spectacularly detailed paint job and beautiful sculpting. But it's a good thing I wasn't buying this for a child to play with. Once you get past the toy's looks, there is nothing else to be said in it's favor. The figure's head can barely be moved, and the arms, posed to hold the lightsaber, are also terribly limited in their movability. Making matters worse is that the lightsaber is made in two pieces - a 2" translucent plastic "blade" which plugs into the second piece, a tiny handle less than 1/2" long. As a father, I shudder to think of how much frustration this will make for the kids. What do they do if the tiny plug breaks off the blade, and it can't be reattached to the lightsaber? And worse, what do they do if they loose that beautifully sculpted and painted but criminally small handle? When the first three Star Wars films were released, the toys were poorly sculpted, simply painted, and could be easily played with. Since then, toy companies have learned just how much money can be made by targeting (some) adult collectors (not me!) with big, expensive items. The popularity of Star Wars toys with collectors appears to have prompted Hasbro into making the whole line as much (if not more)for adult collectors as for the kids. As a result, Shaak Ti is a very nice looking display piece, but little else.

This review is from: Star Wars AOTC Shaak Ti Action Figure (Toy)
Shaak Ti!! Sounds like something a martial artist would say while executing a karate chop. Anyway, it's always nice to see more female Jedi being immortalized as an action figure, like Luminara Unduli and Adi Gallia. Shaak Ti is a new member of the Jedi Council in EpII, and very appealing to the eye. She features a red face with white lips and raccoon-striped head-tails. As with Nikto and Luminara, I was kinda let down by the lack of poseability in this figure. Her rubbery arms move and her head moves a little bit, and that's it. She has a blue lightsaber with a clip-on blaster deflection effect. The paint job on this figure is superb, which is the main reason I decided to get it, and she can also hold her lighsaber with both hands. Overall, Shaak Ti is a nice figure, but it would have been nice to have a little more poseability. As with Nikto and Luminara, Shaak Ti is another one of those figures that looks great as a display, and not for play.

jedi
This toy is pretty good, but not really for playing. She has great detail, one of the best in detail so far. She has 3 points of articulation: her hands, arms, and head.

Shaak Ti Jedi Master--by Mason
Unlike my other Episode II figures, Shaak Ti is not that cool. Her blue lightsaber blade broke off the handle and I had to tape it back on.

At least shes a gurl!
Not much poseability on this one. Seems that most of these new toys cater to the collector. Collector's keep em in the package! It was nice when Adi Gallia came out.

"action" figure?
Metal lightsaber enthusiasts beware, Shaak Ti has a plastic one. Just thought I'd get that out of the way first, in case you love the metal lightsabers like I do and let the...

Good for collection
This figure has not only expanded my small collectio of Episode II figures, it also makes it more noble for the Jedi.
