Mission series: Death Star Chewbacca and Han Solo

MS07 Chewbacca and Han Solo


The Mission Series: Death Star two pack comes with Chewbacca and Han Solo.



These figures are made by Hasbro.




The packaging is collector friendly in that the figures can sometimes be removed and returned without damaging the packaging.




There are two figures in the pack, each is 3 3/4 scale and has five points of articulation like the old Kenner Star Wars figures of my youth.


Chewbacca


We will start with Chewbacca, he looks good, definitely a more detailed sculpt than his original figure.



He stands well and has his traditional "man bag".





 His hair is very nicely detailed. The paint isnt too bad at all, except for the teeth perhaps.



 He does not come with a stand unfortunately. But he stands well enough on his own on those bigfeet...



His weapon will need some assembly and glue if you want it to stay together. An adult should do this before the small pieces are lost.



His hands are specifically molded for his weapon which means he has trouble holding anything else and everyone else has trouble using his accessory.

Han Solo



Now for the other figure who is supposed to be Han Solo, but kind of looks like His grandfather.



His legs are a little spindly and he does like to fall over a little, a stand would have helped.




 Those boots are quite the statement, very shinny and rubbery looking.




 He is the largest buckle award holder three years in a row.




Flying a spaceship can be hairdressing, My figure has a white patch out of the butt of his pants. Very unfortunate.



 He only has one small weapon.



Unfortunately his wizened old hands are sculpted to hold his weapon specifically and have trouble holding other accessory's.

Scale:


Both figures are 3 3/4 scale, though Chewbacca towers over Hans, and that is how it should be.



They fit in alright with the ReAction figures by Funko and Super 7, though their facial sculpts are much more realistically detailed.

Marvel's Hawkeye Build your Mashers Figure

Hawkeye

 

Hawkeye is an ordinary human with no superpowers, he has some skill with the bow and uses many gadget arrows.

 

Marvel's Hawkeye is number: A6826/A6825 of the Make Your Mashers, Marvel Super Hero Mashers line of toys.

 In the box, you can see the gimmick of the toy.

 



He can even stand right out of the box.




He looks good and to me looks like A Ultimate Spider-man version of Hawkeye.



Mashers have these ports or holes all over the body so that accessories can be added. 

















Hawkeyes head is removable and looks ok, i personally prefer the Avengers Assemble costume.




Here he is devoid of limbs and head. 




His left arm is an open grip hand which can easily hold his bow.




 His right arm has a closed fist with a hole that is about the same size as the other ports. 



His upper thigh or leg has the same port.



His lower leg or foot has a port and a ball joint ankle which aids in standing the figure.



He has the same body (except for right hand) as Spider-man. The paint is enough to differentiate the two figures.



His only accessory is his bow, it can fit in his left hand, or any figures "open grip hand". It is a good representation of a bow and looks fine.


 Marvels Hawkeye is a part of Marvel make your mashers wave one, along with Spider-Man, Doctor Doom, and Captain America.



We can see here Captain Americas Shield can fit easily into Hawkeye's slot.


Hawkeye is a good large toy and comes highly recommended for play.

 Hawkeye also looks fine as a display piece.


Mashing!


Here we have an armored up Hawkeye, using some of Doctor Dooms components.



Spider-Man uses some of Hawkeye's components to create an alternate black costume.

Hawkeye gets overly patriotic using Captain Americas components and accessories.

Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan kenobi

Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan kenobi

 




 This is product number 37169/33097 it is recommended for ages 3-6. Made by Hasbro for their Playskool Heroes line.





The box has an interesting open style, allowing the customer to touch the figures before opening the package.
Included are three items, Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon's coat.

Qui-Gon Jinn 

 We begin with Qui-Gon Jinn who has "standard Playskool Heroes articulation", he has rotating head and wrists, Ball jointed shoulders and his legs move together.


 Qui-Gon Jinn's left hand is in a grasp pose, its expertly designed to fit most Playskool Heroes accessories including those of the rescue bots human characters and Marvel Spider-man Adventures.


 His right hand holds a green beamed lightsaber, this weapon does not detach from his hand.


 OQui-Gon's feet have two holes, these holes seem a little smaller than the Marvel figures ones, but can still peg onto Marvel equipment.


 Qui-Gon Jinn's coat is made of material and can be removed, here we see him without his hooded coat.



 As you can see the coat can be worn by many Playskool Heroes figures. Here we have, from left to right, Billy Blastoff, Spider-Man and a different Obi-Wan Kenobi.



Obi-Wan Kenobi




Now on to Obi-Wan Kenobi. He has "standard Playskool Heroes articulation".




Obi-Wan's left hand is a standard Playskool heroes grasping hand.




His right hand holds a blue beamed lightsaber.



I really wish the feet holes were universal through the whole Playskool Heroes line.



My figure is on the left, the image on the right is from the box. The pony tail of the hair is shorter on my figure. I think this may be a design change rather than my figure being broken.
Does your figure have the longer hair?



We have different versions of Obi-Wan kenobi. From left to right they are The figure from this package, the Commander Cody package figure, and the figure from Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter.




For such small figures their pose-ability is amazing.



These figures come highly recommended.






The package also come with a "tear away character card". 


 This card and the others i have are a few millimetres over 2 inches tall and a few millimetres over 1 and 1/2 inches wide.
