That certainly must be the reason why there was such a need for this. I remember Obi twirling the saber about in a spinning fashion to do the beast in, should they make Obi-Wan Acklay Battle II? With spinning wrist killing action? Give me a break, and what really burns me up is they make good figures like Lama Su and Wat-Tambor. So it is not like they do not know what to do here! They know what collectors want; I just wonder whether I am all alone on this one. My campaign to end this nonsense of resculpting every figure 25 times over.

The only thing I really like about this figure is the spear. At least they made it with break apart action, one less thing to package with Obi Acklay II! Really they could have slapped this spear in one of the upcoming Target Accessory Packs and called it a day, I couldn't believe it when I saw this figure three months ago. This is the way they begin the new set of figures? I also noticed the cost saving measures they put into the new universal packaging. I hope they can use some of the saved money to reinvest in the way they ship their product. If you talk to Hasbro they will tell you that they are geared toward children, not to collectors. I find that to be hilarious as well, do you really think these would sell at the rate they do without the collector? At all even? It is just a shame to see them cop out for doing a shoddy job of shipping and handling. Something you pay for in every purchase.
