<CENTER>SAGA'S LATEST BUNCH
DETAILED PICTURES AND REVIEW</CENTER>
<CENTER> By Ishi Tib</CENTER>
Finding it hard to keep your wallet going at the same pace as new figures get released? Here is another beating certainly the "leathered one" will take.
Very soon three new sculpts and a rehash will be making an appearance and hitting a store near you. The figures, three from Attack of the Clones, one from The Phantom Menace are: Padme Amidala Coruscant Attack, Tusken Rider with Massiff (two thumbs down), Watto Mos Espa Junk Dealer and Lott Dod Neimoidian Senator, a figure we've been waiting for since Episode One.
Let's cut to the chase; here are the reviews and pictures:
<CENTER>WATTO
MOS ESPA JUNK DEALER</CENTER>
The Toydarian has been sculpted again, offering a great amount of detail. From his "dish hat" to the likeness of his face, to a new set of wings, Watto is a figure you will not want to miss.
Although the figure does not present any peg holes and can't stand on its own, do not attempt to put some holes at the bottom of his feet; it is meant to be without them. The only accessory packed with the sculpt acts as the only one feature as well, and will take care of the "falling down" situation.
A clear stand packed with Watto can be hooked onto his back, just a little below where both of his wings connect to the body. In turn, the stand makes the junk dealer "hover" right before your eyes. His non removable wings are "motion-capture" helping even further with the hovering effect.
The wings have been sculpted out of a very tough plastic and even the detail of the small veins going across them can be appreciated. The overall color scheme of the figure is very vibrant and makes Watto stand out from the rest
Watto has been articulated at the neck, shoulders and hips but movement is limited. This is a figure rather to take under consideration for its craftsmanship than for its playing capabilities.

NAME OF FIGURE: Watto Mos Espa Junk Dealer
DIGITS: PN 6108685500
FIGURE NUMBER: 50
ACCESSORIES: Hovering stand
<CENTER>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</CENTER>
<CENTER>LOTT DOD
NEIMOIDIAN SENATOR</CENTER>
This is one figure we have been waiting for quite sometime. Showing up at first within some Episode one lists, it wasn't until now that the Neimoidian Senator has been locked up in a plastic cell and given release status after being held back time and time again
Very much in the style and design than the previous Nute Gunray and Rune Haako, Lott Dod offers a removable senatorial miter and robes with very intricate sculpting. The likeness of the character has been well captured down to the bulky yellow eyes and stripe down pupils.
Lott Dod comes accessorized with a miniature holographic Darth Sidious, exactly as the one offered with Count Dooku on April 23. Worth noting is the fact the senator and Sidious were never seen onscreen together, nevertheless here we have them as a set. Either Hasbro ran out of ideas when it came to accessorizing this figure or perhaps there were too many holographic Sidious laying around and someone said: "Slap 'em in with this one!" Despite the odd presence of the hologram Sidious with Lott Dod, I guess we can always use some extra ones of them.
The sculpt is articulated at the neck and shoulders but the articulation is limited since the robes get in the way; if the arms get moved around, the shape and look of the robes will be "screwed up" There is a separate pair of legs under the outfit but, their movement again, is useless since there is not enough room to wiggle them around.
Dod a very nice overall appearance and the fact his miter is removable adds to it also. As with the previously reviewed Watto figure, this is a sculpt to be displayed rather than to be played around with.
