Welcome to a brand-new feature here at PGPoA, Toys You Can’t Live Without! Each day, I’ll take a look at a few of some of the great toys available out there.
First up is the Entertainment Exclusive Star Wars Joker Squad action figures! Based on their popular appearance in the Star Wars Legacy comic, the Joker Squad will make an excellent addition to your stormtrooper army!
The set includes six figures:
- Lord Maleval, a Quarren Sith Lord, is armed with a red lightsaber and a lightwhip. Loyal to Darth Krayt, this villain features loads of articulation and a cloth robe with wires inside so you may pose it any way you see fit.
- Sergeant Harkas, or “Hardcase” as his men call him, has uniquely decorated armor indicating his rank. This tough-as-nails trooper leads his men against the opposition in the name of the Emperor!
- Anson Trask, fresh out of training, is the “noob” of the group. Having just been assigned to his 1st mission, this soldier is ready to fight alongside his squadmates against a worthy foe… a group of defectors!
- Jes Gistang handles the heavy weapons in Joker Squad. She’s the 1st-ever female Stormtrooper in the Star Wars action figure line! With slicked-back red hair and a weapon nearly as big as she is, this amazing figure is all set to rain down the pain on her enemies!
- Hondo Karr, rumored to be an ex-Mandalorian, is as proficient with his blade as he is with a blaster. Surprising for a Stormtrooper, this anti-authoritarian loose cannon is a bit of a mystery. Can he be trusted with the future of the Empire?
- Vax Potorr was born on Coruscant, and through a life of hardship, he eventually found his way into Joker Squad. Ready to jump headfirst into battle, he has his eye on the enemy and his blaster aimed right at their heads!
Each stormtrooper has a removable helmet, and one of them is a chick! How cool is that? I think I can safely say, without hyperbole, that any Star Wars fan who doesn’t buy this set is a freedom-hating terrorist.
