Star Wars constraction at its best.
" I bought this set on Force Friday for myself to review and possibly use its pieces in future MOCs. I was not disappointed in what I received.
Pros:
Size. I was honestly surprised when I realized how large this set is in comparison to other constraction sets like the 2016 Uniters, or Umarak the Destroyer. It is about a head taller then the Uniters and a little bit shorter then Umarak.
Pieces. The piece selection in this set is great. Good colored and printed pieces, along with a new armor add-on.
Price. For 25 US dollars, this set comes with a good ratio of parts, with new prints, molds, colors, and a new cloth piece.
Appearance. This set looks great. Tall and intimidating, this almost Samurai-like character looks awesome on my display shelf, mainly because it's size and color make it stand out compared to most gray/silver styled constraction figures.

Cons:
Posing. They way the shoulders are designed cause some poses to be hard to accomplish, and the skirt may get in the way of play. (I haven't play tested the model)
Design. This is very minor, but the back area has exposed technic used for the play feature, which doesn't look all that good in some places.
Play feature. The play feature in this set works fine when the staff weapon is together, but when you make the staff into two smaller weapons, the arms lack the friction they need for some poses. In the end, this con doesn't come into play very often.

To conclude, this set is great. If you are a Star Wars fan, buy it. If you are a MOCist, buy it. And if you know a kid who might like it, buy it. :P It's great, so as I have already said, buy it.
