Commentary: After two releases as "Nikto Jedi Knight," Fi-Ek Sirch gets a name and a proper release. With great packaging and 14 joints, the figure gives fans everything they would want in this minor character. The sculpt is good, the lightsaber hilt plugs in the belt, and his tattered cloth robes are completely removable and look significantly different than most cloth elements on these figures. What's more, cloth bits around the waist help legs move easier, but odds are you didn't want him sitting much anyway. (Aren't you glad to know he can? I am.) The face sculpt looks slightly better than the mask, showing off a little more personality, while the outfit is... admittedly hard to talk up. It's not bad, it's actually quite good-- it's just that I can't pull out anything to say "wow, look at that!" It's good. Let's move on.
Collector's Notes: A variant exists. The first release is a very pale blue lightsaber, while later ones are darker. You should be able to find this one at retail.
