Legacy of the Rogue One Buildable Figure Wave
Baze Malbus was released as part of the Star Wars theme and was a part of the second wave of buildable figures from Rogue One. Upon its release, the set received positive reviews for its impressive build, standing at 25 cm tall, good poseability, and play potential. The set was praised for its detailed construction, capturing the on-screen look of the character, and its impressive display potential, especially when paired with other figures from the same wave. The set is well-received among AFOLs and continues to be a sought-after addition to any Star Wars collection.
Fan Feedback
Fans and reviewers alike were impressed with the Baze Malbus set from the Star Wars theme. One review from TK_1308 praised, “A great figure and a close second to Chirrut Imwe. The head is nicely done and the scar under his left eye is present as well. Due to the armoured pack around his upper body, the issue a lot of people have with a figure’s neck joint is completely concealed for a better overall look.” The reviewer also noted, “Another excellent figure in wave 2. Baze has plenty of poseability and play potential.” The attention to detail and poseability were certainly appreciated by fans and collectors, making Baze Malbus a worthwhile addition to any Star Wars collection (TK_1308).
