Action Figure #664: Star Wars The Black Series Savage Opress

 The li'l bro is not so li'l, it seems to me.

 For being in, say, 10 episodes outta the 120 something Clone Wars episodes, Savage Opress made quite an impact! I'm kinda happy I got to see the character in action around the time this figure got made!
 This guy is a beast, he is one of the largest Black Series figures, which, y'know, he should be since he towered over everyone else in the show. He features an entirely new sculpt that looks very menacing, and his stoic expression seems ripped straight out of the show. So, yeah, as far as the sculpt goes, he looks fantastic and very faithful to the source material. He comes with his giant ax and his double bladed light saber.
 Articulation features the newest and best Black Series has to offer. His elbows and knees are single jointed, but with very deep cuts allowing for bends deeper than 90 degrees. He has a ball jointed ab crunch and a ball jointed waist, with butterfly joints and the new ball peg wrists. Whichever the case, posing him is fun and smooth. His pauldrons rotate alongside his arms, so they don't limit his arm movement, however, they might be a bit too soft, making them warp in uneven ways and thus making them look asymmetrical in neutral stances. He is about a head taller than Bucky Cap.
 This is one of those figures that is a mix of it being a top notch action figure and a great character design that I really dig, so I love having this guy in my collection.
