Back into looking at Hasbro's 6" Star Wars Black Series and I'm kicking off with Greedo! The universe's most ineffectual bounty hunter!
First thing that you notice about this figure is the lack of accessories. Greedo comes with a removable waistcoat (though why you'd take it off I don't know!), a removable belt, and his pistol. What else would he have though?!
Greedo however is one of the nicest looking early figures in the series simply because of this simplicity. He has everything we see him with in Star Wars and he looks great.
Greedo's face and head sculpt are particular high points on this figure. Great big blue silver eyes, on that green head with the antenna, elongated mouth and ridges and bumps make Greedo look very screen accurate.
His jump suit is great too, nicely painted with wrinkles, dirt and creases running through and over it.
Greedo can hold his blaster really nicely, fitting in his hand with one of his long figures holding the trigger. It also sits nicely in his leather look holster. The blaster itself is a lovely small piece painted in silver with a nice black wash making it look used.
Greedo's articulation is what we've come to expect from the Black Series. His head turns side to side and tilts down a little. His shoulders move up and down, his elbows bend, and his wrists turn. Greedo has a torso swivel, his hips move forward and back and he has a thigh cut. He has a double joint at the knee and his ankles bend and pivot.
The jumpsuit is a nice light green with yellow stripes down the side. His waistcoat is a darker mustard yellow but sadly doesn't quite have the same dirty aesthetic as the jumpsuit. It's still a great looking toy though, and I'm glad I was able to add the original bounty hunter to my collection!
Stay tuned for more Black Series reviews! Go Figure!
