LEGO Star Wars Minifigures: Shaak Ti
Shaak Ti is exclusive to set 7931, T6 Jedi Shuttle. This will be the first time this Togruta Jedi will be available the LEGO universe.
Minifigure Parts and Accessories
Shaak Ti is made up of 4 parts, a head piece, head, torso, and leg assembly.
The headpiece is a blue and white part resembling the adult Togruta head tails. The headpiece also gives the forehead of the minifigure a higher profile.
The head is red with print to mimic the Togruta facial markings. This is obviously a new print.
The torso and arms are brown with red hands. The torso print has low neckline with the rest resembling Jedi robes.
The legs and hips are brown with no visible print.
The accessories for this figure are a lightsaber with trans-blue blade and a brown cape.
The minifigure appears to resemble the live-action version quite well. The legs could have been replaced with a dress slope, but this would have reduced play value. Also print could have been added to the legs to mimic the belt sash and it's markings. The key design element here is obviously the head and it was done well.
Army Building Potential
The ABP for this figure is moderate. The unique head piece may be sought after in multiples as the only other Togrutian character in the LEGO Star Wars universe has been Ahsoka Tano. Ahsoka's head piece design, however, is different. The figure itself will likely not be sought after in multiples in that same way that a clone or stormtrooper might.
Big Draw
The big draw will be for the new and unique headpiece. Obviously LEGO Star Wars collectors will want to seek out this new minifig for their collections.
