This review is from: Star Wars ATOC Darth Tyranus Geonosis Escape (Toy)

This is a decent figure, as Star Wars action figures go. It is not a spitting image for Christopher Lee but you can at least tell who it is supposed to be at a glance.

The pose is rather limiting. This is not a character that can be changed into a variety of poses, but rather one who represents a specific moment in Star Wars lore. That said, it's not a bad pose, since it stresses action. And squeezing his legs together causes his sword arm to swing down and chop at an opponent.

Additionally, his left hand and light saber handle are magnetized so he can "pick up" his lightsaber. He cannot hold it, however, in that hand, as it simply sits there against his palm.

My four year old son broke the lightning the first day. It's rather delicate - a flexible piece of blue wraps around the figure's wrist and forearm - and now the red piece of the lightsaber came out of the handle. I don't know if it is designed to do this but if so, it seems rather too delicate. I'm going to attempt repair with modeling cement and hope it holds.

All in all a decent figure but since this is one specifically designed to be played with, it seems insufficiently durable. It's better off on a shelf, on display. Besides, he doesn't stand up very well at all on his own.
