Action Figure #660: Star Wars The Black Series Bodhi Rook

 Rogue One team: Completed.

 Well, Bodhi Rook finally completes my Rogue One team. Probably the least exciting member of the team, but, hey, in Star Wars everyone needs a pilot!
 Bodhi Rook's design is very simple and boring. He wears a grey pilot's jumpsuit with a brown vest, and that's it. I'll tell you this much, to make up for the simplicity, they went wild with the folds on his clothes. On the other hand, the head sculpt is hit and miss. The likeness to the actor is spot on, and I do like the translucent goggles.. even if you can't move them. The only issue is that the paint for the beard and sideburns looks like a brown smear than anything else, in fact, there's a strip of unpainted head below one of the goggle straps, I looked it up and it seems to have happened with other copies of the figure, which is just disappointing. He comes with two accessories, a blaster and a backpack.
 The back pack accessory comes with a thingie that is connected to a thread that extents from the back pack.
 The only way to rev up the thread again is by hand and by disassembling the back pack. This part of the pack isn't held as securely as I'd like, but it stays on for the most part.
 He gets single jointed elbows and knees, but with very deep cuts so both get over 90 degree bends. He has a swivel on his waist and on his thighs, and he also has butterfly joints which add a tiny bit of extra range to his arms. He is quite a bit shorter than Bucky Cap.
 So... He is a decent figure about a character I don't care about with a rather dull design. But the team did the most that they could with the character, so there's that.
