Action Figure #909: Star Wars The Black Series Rook Kast

 Hello Rook Kast... and good bye, we barely knew ye.

 I haven't watched Shadow Lord yet, but yes, I heard about the fate that befalls Rook Kast in the show. Ah well! I liked her since I saw her in Clone Wars, so the moment she was announced I pre-ordered her. She was definitely a face I wanted in my collection.

 The figure is pretty much excellent. Her pseudo mandalorian armor is full of details, and I love the color choices they went with. The headsculpt is kinda beautiful, although she might look a bit nicer than she really is. Unlike most Mandalorians, her Jetpack is glued onto her back... and I'm OK with it, considering some of these love to fall out.

 She comes with two pistols and an alternate helmeted headsculpt... The pistols are fine, but I find it curious that due to the shape of her guns she doesn't really need trigger fingers, but she gets one on each hand, whereas most Black Series' figures only get a right hand trigger finger! Also, sadly, the helmet is an alternate head. I saw people celebrating this choice, but I'd rather it be a helmet I can remove at will. 

 Her guns have pegs that can be slotted on her armored skirt piece, but it doesn't hold very well.

 Articulation is exactly like other Black Series figures. Single jointed elbows and knees with deep cuts, butterfly joints, and a ball jointed waist. She uses the new ball-peg wrists. The soft-plastic skit DOES limit he legs, but it's not too bad. She's about a head shorter than Bucky Cap.

 Rook is a fine little figure. I really love how she looks. There's not much I would've changed besides, y'know, allowing her to put her helmet on top of her head.
