Sculpt: Yarael Poof--4.5/5, Depa Billaba--3.5/5, Yaddle--5/5 Depa Billaba is easily the most disappointing figure of the three, partly because she can't sit down and partly because she just doesn't look all that interesting. It's not her fault that her outfit is a bit on the boring side, so I'm not going to count that against her. On the plus side, her robes are well sculpted and look as good as they can in plastic. On the downside, her sculpted robes don't give her the freedom to sit down so she is pretty much a "salt-shaker". They did bother to sculpt her legs underneath her robes, but they cannot move. Her left arm is slightly bent and her right arm is bent at about ninety degrees. This posing is good for both relaxed and action-oriented poses. Depa's headsculpt is one of Hasbro's better human headsculpts, but misses the mark a bit in terms of capturing the actress' likeness. A good all-around figure, but disappointing that she can't sit. And finally we have Yaddle. A lot of people have wanted a Yaddle figure ever since Episode I and now she is finally in figure form. While I personally am not one of the people who have been requesting a Yaddle figure, I do have to admit that Hasbro delivered on this figure. The likeness is excellent and looks pretty much exactly as she did in the movie. Because of Yaddle's hair, her head and the hood of her robes are molded together. Her robes are well sculpted and her arms are well posed for sitting poses, standing poses and semi-action poses. Now why can't they capture Yoda's Episode II likeness this well?? Articulation: Yarael Poof--4.5/5, Depa Billaba--3/5, Yaddle--3/5 Depa's articulation is pretty basic: neck, shoulders, bicep-cuts, and wrist-cuts. Because she has no waist or leg articulation, her posing is a bit limited. Thankfully her arms are well articulated and quite a few poses are possible. She also looks great holding a lightsaber. Yaddle has five points: shoulders, bicep-cuts and hinged-hips. Pretty average for a figure of this stature. Her arm articulation is useful for conversational gesturing and some decent lightsaber poses. The absence of neck articulation is a bit disappointing but it's easy to see how it would be difficult to include.
