Action Pose & Outfit
There are not much complain on the action pose here. The figure is well articulated
and most of the pose as seen in movie can be replicated. Firstly, the head and neck is
in one piece and this limit the up and down movement of his head. Secondly, it it his
boots. Unlike Han Solo, the boot is soft and a little bit uneven making him slightly
hard to stand on his own.
Extra hands are provided to swap adding more playability to it. An extra left force gesture hand and another trigger-finger right is provided. Sideshow also includes a stump hand to replicate the scene when Anakin Skywalker cut off his hand during his duel with Palpatine.
The outfit is the usual fabric. It does not comes with any high quality feel to it. There are quite some extra thread here and there and might need to be trimmed. The most obvious error made on his Jedi robe is his tunic where is comes in wrong color and in fabric texture. It should be in a lighter tone of brown.

| The Jedi robe comes with quite rough workmanship and with extra thread jutting out. | |

 |
| The body is standard and a bit stiff. Samuel L Jackson has a signature hunch and that cannot be replicated on this figure. |

| An encounter between Windu and Anakin. | Anakin chopped off Windu's hand. |
Face Sculpt
This head sculpt on Windu is much better than Han Solo. It is very close to the real
person except for a few areas. Firstly, the head shape is too sharp on the sculpt. The
bald head should be rounder on top and the jaw line slightly sharper. The eyebrow is
slightly thick. The eyes, nose, mouth and cheek is right on the spot. Although not 100
percent, Sideshow did a very good job in coming a sculpt this close to the real person.
The paint job is good and I will give it an excellent only if the skin tone is slightly lighter and less glossy.

| Samuel L Jackson in real person. | Front angle got it more or less correct. |

 |
| The likeliness of Windu is not that good from these angles. | |
 |
| This is perfectly replicated from this angle. :-P |
Story from the Box Art
Governing the Order of the Jedi during the tempestuous Clone Wars is the Jedi Council, a
twelve-being body comprised of masters of many talents, some warriors of great renown,
others sagely and studious, but all wise and selfless, having distinguished themselves by
their dedication to enduring peace and justice. Steering this assemblage by example are two
of the greatest Jedi of all time. Master Yoda, almost a full millennium in age, wise beyond
measure and keenly perceptive, is the sagely grandfather-figure of the current order. Though
outwardly small and frail, his tiny frame is a conduit for the power of the Force, which
flows through him like a river.
In counterpoint to the understated reserve of Yoda, beside him on the council sits the mighty Mace Windu, a Jedi master whose seething intensity and piercing gaze can melt an opponent's resolve with barely a glance. No less wise than Yoda, Mace's presence is a reminder to all of the strength of the Jedi that flows from the Force. As a swordsman, he is unmatched in skill, the master of vaapad - a dangerously powerful lightsaber technique that unleashes tremendous destructive force and can only be wielded by the most vigilant and self-possessed of Jedi.
During the Clone Wars, Mace Windu's directness and clarity of vision see him taking the role of most senior general in the Grand Army of the Republic. The campaign forges ahead under his leadership, often with Mace himself leading the charge. The Korun Jedi's unique electrum finish, violet-hued lightsaber, seen thrumming and flashing on the front line, is sure to sow fear and doubt among the Separatist leaders.
It is Mace's ability to see the grand picture, even in the heat of battle, that makes him the leader he is, and as the war drags on, an uneasiness concerning the role of the Republic's own Chancellor begins to grow into cool distrust and suspicion. Of all the Jedi, it is Mace Windu who first suspects that the true goal of the war might not be the endurance of the democratic Republic, but the destruction of the Jedi who protect it.
