I was a bit skeptical of another Geonosian figure as
the articulation on ones past have been mediocre at
best. Read on and you’ll see why you should have not
one but MANY of this figure!
Here are my subjective and objective reviews for the
figure:
Head Sculpt:
Decent job on the Head. As always, Hasbro does pretty
good with Aliens.
Rating 5 out of 5 Holocrons.
Articulation:
Here is where this figure excels. This is not a lain
AOTC warrior here. Sun Fac has the following
articulation: Ball jointed neck, shoulders, elbows,
ankles; Swivel jointed waist, wrists and hips.Even his
wings have some articulation to them. A MUCH better
figure and improvement to the AOTC Geonosian Warrior
figure.
Rating 4.5 out of 5 Holocrons
Paint Application:
So close to perfect. My biggest beef is that on
everyone of this figure that I’ve seen, it’s head is
much more greenish-brown, than the rest of the body,
which takes on more of the reddish-brown coloration.
The slashed eye is a nice effect and the paint on the
waist band in well done.

Overall sculpt:
Hasbro really did a bang-up job on Sun Fac. Detail in
his garments and the texture of his "skin" really help
to bring this character to life.

Accessories:
It’s nice to get the blaster with a carded figure
instead of a deluxe one. Before now the only way to
get one was to purchase the deluxe set with the horrid
pod. Thanks Hasbro!!

Customization possibilities:
Not much here other than a repaint. Geonosians are
pretty specific aliens.
Rating 1 out of 5 Holocrons
Playability:
A lot of detail and articulation went into this
character. He suffers from being a background
characte, so kids won’t go for him as much. Still it’s
the best Geo fig to date and I had lots of fun
playing....er POSING him, yeah that’s it.
Rating 4 out of 5 Holocrons
Overall Score:
This was a figure well worth purchasing. He’s a full
head taller than the Geonosian warrior figure so he
stands out, BUT... If you buy alot of him, you can
easily use him instead to replace your Geo ranks. The
only thing keeping me from doing that right now is the pricepoint. I do have 3 of him, but I’ll get more later, to be sure. If you don’t already have this figure, I higly suggest geting it. Even if you’r not a bug fan, this one offers so much articulation that you’ll almost forget he’s a bug.
