We rarely comment on a figure’s packaging in this column, but Poggle The Lesser’s is definitely worth noting. He is backed by a blood red backdrop which shows elements of the planet Geonosis and the top left Attack Of The Clones logo serves as the perfect anchor to the packaging. The design overshadows its articulation however, so many of you should be pleased.Īdmittedly, Poggle The Lesser is much more interesting as a single carded figure than anything else. This action figure has really been designed to function as a statue and that’s exactly what he does best. Don’t expect to pose him in some engaging stance.
The can fits just alright in his hand, but our sample consistently dropped his. It’s bleached white in color and has been detailed with two copper rings in addition to a copper handle. He comes with a simply ornate walking cane.
The figure has an exceptional amount of details for a figure from 2003, but he could nonetheless stand an upgrade to fix the way he stands (his legs spread too far left and right). Poggle The Lesser comes with a limited nine points of articulation (all of which are swivel joints) and two of those points are the rotating wings. While the paint job is significantly improved, the articulation unfortunately is not. Sun Fac needs a fellow Geonosian to accompany him and we don’t think there is a better choice than Poggle The Lesser. But Hasbro thought Poggle The Lesser would be a great addition to their Battle Of Geonosis collection in The Saga Collection. Those sets basically rotted on shelves and we found them for $1.98 by the time retail lost any interest in them whatsoever. We were certain the one and only place he would be available for collectors to purchase was in 2003’s SW Geonosian War Chamber (Featuring Poggle The Lesser, Count Dooku & San Hill) (1 of 2) Scene Packs set. Not only was it released a second time, but Hasbro expended money to create a new paint job for it that more closely reflects the look of the digital character in Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones. We were overly confident (rather cocky actually) that this figure would never see another day on the shelves, but that wasn't the case. If we were betting people, we would have lost a lot of money with our assertion that Poggle The Lesser would never be released again. Anakin and Padmé are found guilty of espionage and are to be executed in the Geonosis arena immediately, but these crafty captives have other plans. He discovers that a Jedi and Republic Senator have been trespassing in the droid factories and presides over their trial. Poggle has the difficult task of overseeing production on the battle droid army being built for the Techno Union and Separatists.
