He should have a light saber scissor.
Prince Xizor is another character I owned in Kenner form back when I was younger. Bootleg SW figures would get mixed up with legit ones so I'm not sure if mine was legit or not, but the black paint on his ponytails wore off and he looked as if he had green antennae!
And as with most Black Series figures as of late, the sculpt is fantastic. His intricately textured robes looked great, and this extends, literally, to his
sculpted back vertebrae. I
would've liked the lower parts of his robes to be soft goods, but I get why they went with soft plastic: The texturing and the details. He does get soft goods sleeves, however, and he comes with a staff... the grip
could be a bit tighter, but it's OK.
Articulation is the usual, single jointed elbows and knees, with decent range each, a ball jointed waist and butterfly joints, but the range they add is
minimal. The robes do limit his lower half articulation, but I don't see Xizor as the kid of guy that kicks his enemies. His two ponytails can be rotated, and he is almost as tall as Bucky Cap.
Prince Xizor is a nice figure to look at, but not the most fun to play with. All that said, I'm glad he is in my collection.
