Action Figure #833: Star Wars The Black Series Krrsantan (Book of Boba Fett)

 At least Chewbacca can be pronounced!

 I've been reading the 'new' Disney Star Wars comics and that's how I discovered Krrsantan and decided I needed his figure. This is actually the second Krrsantan figure, because while the Black Series Team is now firing on all cilinders, their first release, I kid you not, was a lazy black recolored Chewbacca. But with this version he gets his own new sculpt!

 So... yeah, new Wookie sculpt! And you can tell he isn't using recycled parts because he is a bit shorter than the other Wookies released so far! And I oughta say, I love what they did with him. Starting with his black fur which has a few grey highlights here and there, but extending to all his gold equipment. I particularly love his gold knuckle dusters, which he wears in both hands, but there's also the gold rings on his braided beard, and the junk he has on his belt. The one thing he is missing is the scar Ben Kenobi gave him, but then again, this is the Book of Boba version and not his comic book counterpart.

 His only accessory is his enormous rifle, which sadly, he can't hold very well. I mean, he can HOLD it well enough, but cool shooting poses are out of the question.

 First of all, forget about turning his head, as his beard and the big, spiky pauldrons don't play well together. In fact, as nice as those pauldrons look, they don't allow him to raise his arms all the way to the top. He has butterfly joints, but they barely add any range. Elbows and knees are single jointed, and the bend on both is OK. His ab crunch is on a ball joint, so at least you can turn his torso around. He is a bit taller than Bucky Cap.

 Krrsantan is a nice looking figure, but he is not much of an ACTION figure. The articulation really leaves a lot to be desired, and it's kinda sad that we can't get nice fighting poses from a MERCENARY of all things.
