Star Wars: Command project pt. 2 - Jedi - Completed

So my thoughts on the first of these figures that I've painted up:

1. They have a surprising amount of detail for figures that cost very little and are intended for kids. A testament, I suppose, to how far the industry has come.

2. That said, they don't have that much detail.  The hands on the Jedi, for example, were pretty rough.

3. The bend in the lightsaber was pretty frustrating.  Reminded me of GWs FineCast FailCast product lines.  But unlike those products, the price point is orders of magnitude lower, so it's much less frustrating.

Anyway, the Jedi is complete... next up is an X-Wing Pilot ... adventures in Orange!


I'm pleasantly surprised at how well the lightsaber came out ... but trying to achieve depth of blending and shading with browns is a real challenge.
