Sculpt--4/5 Aayla Secura puts the "figure" back into action figures! Okay, I couldn't resist saying that, but Aayla really is a well sculpted figure. Thankfully, the sculpter didn't oversexualize her by giving her unrealistic proportions; Aayla simply looks as she should look. The face doesn't quite look like the actress who played her but it's decently close in resemblance. Her outfit has the appropriate textures which adds to the detail of the figure. If there's anything wrong with the sculpt, I'd say it's the hip area. The transition from her abdomen to her hips isn't very flush or convincing--her hips are slightly narrower than her abdomen, and that isn't right at all. The separately sculpted belt doesn't help things either; it looks ill-fitting and a bit cheesy-looking. Another thing I don't like is the fact that her right hand's grip is a bit too wide, making it impossible to hold her lightsaber without the use of a rubberband. This may just be becasue of the way the figure is packaged, but just in case I suggest you keep the clear rubberband that holds the lightsaber in her hand. This is all nit-picking though, and overall Aayla looks great. Articulation--5/5 Aayla has nine points of articulation: neck, ball-jointed shoulders, left bicep-cut, left angled elbow-cut, waist, hips, and left thigh-cut. The ariculation is excellent; there are just so many great poses you can create with all these points. The left arm is good for having Aayla use the Force, or you can even pose her to hold the lightsaber with both hands. The angled elbow-cut allows you to straighten the left arm out a little, and works with the bicep-cut to allow for good variety of arm poses. The waist articulation isn't actually at the waist--it's actually where the bottom of her shirt and abdomen meet. I'm not sure if this joint is supposed to be ball-jointed, but it seems like it is. With a little work, you can move her upper body side to side The leg articulation is another interesting point. The thigh cut allows you pose Aayla to be kicking. In all the pictures I've seen of this figure, she is always posed to be standing on her right leg and kicking with her left...it doesn't look natural to say the least. If you get this figure, I suggest having her stand on her left leg and kicking with her right. This looks much more realistic and cool to me, plus the figure is more balanced and won't sag under her own weight. Just look at the photos and you be the judge! Features--3/5 Aayla has a magnet in her left palm to attract her metal lightsaber hilt. I'm all for magnets as long as they don't alter the look of the sculpt too much. Unfortunately this is a case where the magnet has affected the sculpt. Aayla's left palm looks somewhat bloated and very round because of the magnet. You might say that Aayla also has a second feature--"real-feel" skin! The skin of her upper body section is molded in a soft rubber material. I'm not sure if it is indeed supposed to be "real-feel" skin but why else would they use such a material? It's an interesting and questionable choice...does Hasbro want kids and collectors to be touching her there? Accessories--5/5 You get Aayla's blue lightsaber, base, and a Force effect. The Force effect is basically Sith Lightning. Star Wars fans will of course realize that good Jedi generally don't learn Sith Lightning...it's too bad Hasbro didn't realize that. However, the Force effect looks nice; the lightning and electricity effects have always been my favorite. This one is a bit hard to fit on her arm properly, mostly because her hand is so dang big. I love how Hasbro is including a base with some of their figures now. It's very nice for display purposes and you really feel like you're getting your money's worth. Aayla's base is a rocky area with a few footprints here and there. It's great for posing Aayla in difficult poses and it can connect to certain other bases in the Saga line. Aayla's lightsaber has a removable blade and has an all new metal hilt. Paint--4/5 There's not too much to paint on Aayla, but the tatoos on her tendrils are nicely done and are very clean. The ribbons on her tendrils aren't painted completely on my figure, but it's not too noticeable. They did a good job on her face, but I think her eyebrows could be painted in a darker hue. Overall--4.5/5 This is another great Jedi action figure that is capable of some great poses. The sculpting isn't perfect, but it is pretty close. In the end this is a toy that is fun to pose, display, and play with. You just can't go wrong with a sexy Twi'lek Jedi!
