I had always wanted a Shaak Ti figure when I was a little younger, and I now I got one! Shaak Ti is not hard to stand up, and has a stand if you can't get her to. To me, her only flaw is her lightsaber, which has a removable hilt. Mine broke in the first week. Other than that, Shaak Ti is an awesome figure to place next to your jedi.

This figure is great I like The super poseable figures I don't like the "Action features" figures. These Action Features they put in these new figures they are better then Episode II's Figures but they are still weak. I wish they would make an Obi or Anakin that are super poseable.

My son and I went out and got most of the action figures from Episode III as soon as they were out. Shaak Ti, after we had gotten the Episode II figure, was on our MUST HAVE list. She has so much more articulation than the Ep. II, which had like 3 points of articulation. She has a well made cloth skirt, and can fit in many of the speeders from any of the movies. The only disapointment was that she WAS NOT IN THE MOVIE!!! She is, however, in the deleted scenes! She is a great toy!

I too, grew up with Star Wars toys. While these new figures aren't as well made as the originals, I can see what Lucasarts is going for. Unfortunately for kids, a huge segment of the customers buying these toys are collectors. While I'm not a harcore Star Wars collector, I do have a thing for Jedi Knights and I have a small horde "protecting" my laptop.

The newer toys aren't aimed so much at kids as they are collectors, which is a shame for the kids. As a small time collector I rate Shaak Ti and other figures highly as a collectable item. They're beautifully made and well sculpted coming second only to the Star Wars Unleashed line of toys. As a former kid, I'd only give them so-so to low marks. Their playability, which is tied directly to their durability, is poor. I think Lucas should have released two lines of toys, one for kids (and done like the classic figures) and one for children of the 80s who still have a fixation on Star Wars.

For almost 28 years now I have loved Star Wars, and I could not wait for the third and final movie because my oldest son would be the same age I was when I first saw Star Wars. Well... lets just say that Lucas is off to another bad start with this final movie. My son has most of the new figures, and all of them are falling apart after less then two weeks. C-3PO broke the first day out off the box, along with Yoda. My son and I are very disappointed by these toys, and are planning on saving our money and not giving any more to a greedy old man that is steeling from his fans by making half baked toys and movies (the last two). DO NOT BY THESE TOYS!!!!
