TSC – Wave 3 – Battle of Geonosis
#015 Sora Bulq


Always nice to have more Jedi and this one doesnt’ disappoint.

Here are my subjective and objective reviews for the figure:

Head Sculpt:
Great job here. The detail in teh face is apparent. It’s obviously a member of the Weequay race. Hasbro always seems to do better with Alien sculpts.
Rating 5 out of 5 Holocrons.


Articulation:
One word "excellent". The only disappointment here is the lack of articulation in the knees. That would have put this in the perfect category. Sora has articulation as such: Ball jointed neck, shoulders, elbows, ankels; Swivel jointed wrists, waist and hips.
Rating 4.5 out of 5 Holocrons


Paint Application:
Not much paint to this figure as it’s a Jedi, but nice weathering on the tan robe.
Rating 2.5 out of 5 Holocrons


Overall sculpt:
Fantastic. The robes and pants look great and coupled with teh excellent head sculpt this figure comes out tops!
Rating 5 out of 5 Holocrons


Accessories:
Not much to talk about here. As usual it has a lightsaber and a stand. But for this character, we do not really need anything else..
Rating 2.5 out of 5 Holocrons


Customization possibilities:
Well, pop the head off and swap it out with something else and voila, new Jedi. Since the body is different than other Jedi figures, it makes sense to use this one for customs. Really good potential here, especially if you are Jedi fans.
Rating 5 out of 5 Holocrons


Playability:
This figure can be posed in many ways allowing for tons of playability. Sine he’s a background character, I don’t think there’s as much appeal with the kids than with the adults for him, as he’s got a larger role in the EU.
Rating 4 out of 5 Holocrons


Overall Score:
Yet another Jedi to add to the ranks, Sora Bulq has been requested before and Hasbro delivered. Not just a plain Jedi, but a nicely sculpted and articulated one. It was a bit hard to find when it first came out and I never saw it peg for more than a day. If you don’t as yet have one, get one, if you can stll find it.
Rating 4.5 out of 5 Holocrons
