Personal Observations
Maz comes as part of a larger figure set with BB-8, Finn and Rey, but is the only one of these figures that is exclusive to this set. As nice as it is to get Maz and the treasure chest accessory, for a lot of people it comes at the cost of having to re-buy the other three figures which had been available to buy earlier on their own. That aside, Maz Kanata is a great little toy. Maz has one of the most detailed paint jobs out of all of The Force Awakens figures. Her goggles can bend so you can look at her eyes, but they are not removable, and I wouldn't want to fiddle with them too much for fear of damaging them. I wish our Resistance Trooper and pilot figures came with clear goggles like this, but what's done is done. Maz has a silver blaster pistol that is unlike any other in The Force Awakens line, so while the blaster wasn't seen in the movie, it's nice that for the figure Hasbro made one that is uniquely hers. The chest accessory is really cool, as it can open and close, revealing a hidden lightsaber hilt. The hilt is removable, but the other things sculpted in the chest are not. It would have been nice if the chest had more paint detail, but I'm just glad it was made. Maz can sit perfectly, and due to her size, should be able to fit in lots of vehicles with room to spare. With the addition of Maz, we now have four of the many aliens from Maz's castle. More please Hasbro!
