Admiral Ozzel
I got this figure today as an Easter present, which was bought at Wal-Mart on Thursday. I was very surprised to see any new figures, let alone from the latest wave and at Wal-Mart, of all places, which hasn’t had new figures for months. Since no one reviewed it yet, I thought I would.
The figure’s likeness isn’t 100% dead-on, but it looks a lot like Ozzel. His mouth is open and showing only his teeth, but he is kind of expressionless unless he’s fearing for his life. The sculpt of his body is very nice. On the most recent figures, Hasbro’s gotten perfect with pants and other items of clothing, and that shows up here. Ozzel’s outfit is much more accurate than those of Grand Moff Tarkin and Captain Piett, and he has a separate skirt instead of those ugly leg-skirt things from figures of old. He has those silver thingies poking out from his shirt, where they should be.
He has articulation in the head, shoulders, elbows, wrists, waist, and legs. He can be posed standing at attention with his hands behind his back, holding his blaster with both hands, or holding his neck as he’s being choked. Like most figures, his head is on a ball and can come off or on quite easily. His neck color isn’t quite the same as his face, but it’s passable.
He comes with a blaster and base. The blaster is the regular ol’ Imperial blaster, the correct-scale smaller version that comes with the TIE Pilot. The base is the same as the other Star Wars ones, or at least it seems to be. In figures from the Jabba’s Palace, Yavin, and Star Destroyer waves with the base, when connected they don’t tilt up like the Tatooine and Hoth wave figures’ bases do. I have six figures from these waves next to each other on their connected bases, and it looks nice.
While this figure doesn’t really do much, the character in the film doesn’t do much either, so it’s perfect for what it is. He is miles ahead from old high-ranking Imperial figures, and I recommend it. Grade: A
