When seeing Feltipern Trevagg for the first time, I thought I was at Happy Hour. Six figures now? I am absolutely glad I didn't throw in the towel like many did when OTC infuriated most of us last summer. Something that should have been thought of before they released the OTC collection. Most die-hard collectors would take a character like this with minimal screen time vs. another Darth Vader. Many that I have spoken with are in this for the variety. To have the first from the Goatal species? I don't care where he came from, we need the few figures they haven't made from the Mos Eisley Cantina. I'm glad to see our wishes have been granted.

Let's face it even something like a Gungan looks so high tech when you compare them. Since we all didn't see too much of this character, it would be hard to say where they screwed up. If they did at all. I really like the movement in the elbows and wrists. The glass is also a very nice pack in with the base and blaster. They finished the job articulating the knees and you can even tip his head back! It seems like they are really putting some effort into even some of the most subtle characters. The only other thing they could have tried is to weather the outfit a little more, but don't go overboard like they did with the second release of Wuher!

Now if they could just grace us with a round bar piece instead of the four miles of straight we already own, and the Tonika Twins and if there is anyone else I forgot, I apoligize. Many have built a Mos Eisley Diorama, this is worth your money and time of hunting down. The only other  thing I could wonder is how did his eyes get so red drinking this pink girly drink that shades the glass! Keep kicking out the new goods, you may tick off a few people who make custom figures, but you'd get the love from the millions that want only new product. It is a frown that they left out a holster feature, they could have easily added it down the leg.

Spice - This is as good as it gets if you are a Star Wars collector. While most were three figures ticked off with the OTC collection by the time they reached seven, the POTC collection is great. If Hasbro must produce something from the Original Trilogy, this is most definitely the way to go. I'm beginning to wonder if my thumb is stuck this way!
