Lego Star Wars Microfighters Series 2 Snowspeeder & Pilot Set 75074

Having already had a look at the AT-AT in this series it's time to take a look at the Snowspeeder & Pilot set.

The rest of the vehicles in this series are:

Homing Spider Droid
Vulture Droid
ARC-170 Starfighter & Clone Pilot
Republic Gunship

I won't be picking up any of these sets. I don't hate the prequels, but I am picky about what I'll pick up from them.

So this set is another of the Microfighters range so it's a small build that took me about 15 minutes to complete.

Let's take a look at the pilot first.

The detailing on the pilot is excellent. He has printed tubes, buttons, and buckles over his torso and legs and the mask and strap from the helmet are also printed straight onto the Minifigures face. The helmet has the Rebel insignia printed on it which is a nice touch and he has 2 faces - one happy (shown above) and one a bit more terrified!

The Snowspeeder is a great little interpretation of the ship from the movie but I do actually like the AT-AT more.

The ship also has 2 missiles underneath which kind of fire if pushed from behind.

The figure sits nicely in the Snowspeeder, looking like a kid on a fairground ride which I love the look of!

Again, I'd completely recommend these if you want to save cash and space and, for me, I love the minifigures so these are a double win for me.

Star Wars Rebels Mission Series: The Ghost Reveal the Rebels: Jedi Reveal

Adding to my 3.75" Rebels figure collection is this 3 figure pack of Kanan, Ezra and a secret third figure... oooooh! I picked this set up at Toys R Us.

Let's crack it open and take a look at the figure inside. First up, let's look at Ezra, who comes with his stolen trooper helmet.

This is a neat little figure, a little smaller than Kanan and smaller than Zeb of course. These figures have only 5 points or articulation so they're good for vintage collectors, or kids, but for me, I just really like how they look and the fact that they're so cartoon accurate.

The paint work is really neat, and there are a lot of nice details, like the crest on Ezra's back.

Ezra can either hold his trooper helmet, or wear it. It fits nicely onto his head and looks pretty cool!

The captain of The Ghost, Kanan is of course a little taller than Ezra, and comes with his lightsaber.

Again, a really neat little figure, nice paint details and his 'saber is a nicely sculpted piece. Sadly the blaster on his side is a solid sculpted piece and is part of the figure, so can't be taken out of the holster and held.

And finally the secret mystery figure! If you don't want to know who it is, run away!!

It's a hologram figure of Obi-wan! I think this is a great companion piece to Kanan and Ezra and it's a really nice figure.

The only articulation Obi-Wan has is in his head, the rest is just a solid sculpt, but in that nice blue translucent plastic. It's a nice solid piece that looks great.

This is a neat little three pack and if you're a fan of Rebels or a collector of 3.75" Star Wars figures I'd recommend these.

Star Wars Rebels Mission 01 Garazeb "Zeb" Orrelios & Stormtrooper

The newest Star Wars Mission Series have recently hit my local Toys R Us and when I saw that the first one was Zeb and a Stormtrooper from the new Star Wars Rebels show, I had to grab it.

I'm not usually one for 5 points of articulation, 3.75" figures but I really like what I've seen of the show and these figures looked great. And good looking toys are good looking toys, no matter their size or articulation. I don't discriminate.

This is Mission 1. The other Mission 2 packs are:

2 - C3-PO & R2-D2 (Done in the same Rebels animated style as Zeb and the 'trooper)
3 - Darth Vader & Luke Skywalker
4 - Yoda & Darth Sidious
5 - Boba Fett & Stormtrooper
6 - Obi-Wan Kenobi & General Grievous

Like I said, I don't collect these, but I'm pretty sure that 4, 5 & 6 are re-packages.

The packaging of these figures is really nice. There's a plastic packet giving a nice full view of the figures on a card back using the new Star Wars Rebels logo and 'trooper helmet. There's also a little picture of Zeb and the stormtrooper below the figures.

The figures themselves are great looking.

Let's look at the stormtrooper first.

This is a slightly more simplified looking, animated style stormtrooper. But that's not to say there's nothing going on here.

The details are all there, the torso buttons, the helmet grates, all that good stuff.

He also has details in the back.

I really dig this little guy! He even comes with his blaster rifle... even if he can't hit anything with it.

The gun is nicely sculpted in a solid, softer, plastic. It's a good looking little piece and suits the trooper nicely.

Zeb is an excellent little figure. Paint, sculpt and detailing is great.

His paint is brilliant, it really is very screen accurate. He really is a great looking figure for the size and I especially like the design on his left shoulder - such a neat paint app!!

I'm guessing that the lack of articulation (both figures only have neck, shoulder and hip movement) meant that Hasbro was able to spend more on making these little figures nice and screen accurate.

Zeb also comes with an accessory - his big blaster rifle!

I really like these guys, and I'm glad we've got Rebels toys already - more to come!!
