Vel Sartha (2023) The Vintage Collection Review
General Overview:
Vel Sartha leads the charge in The Vintage Collection, bringing another key rebel to 3.75-inch scale. Hasbro did a great job translating her rugged yet tactical look into figure form. While the sculpt and articulation are solid, a few extra accessories would have really elevated this release.
Accessories & Functionality:
Vel comes with a blaster rifle that features a removable stock, which is a nice touch for display variety. However, no extra gear or soft goods were included, which would have helped complete the figure.
Articulation & Poseability:
With 18 points of articulation, she moves well and holds action poses effectively. Some figures may have stiff joints initially, but once loosened up, she’s easy to pose.
Head Sculpt & Paint Application:
The digital face printing captures Faye Marsay’s likeness well for the scale, though a bit more paint detailing—especially weathering on the outfit—would have made it even better.
Packaging & Presentation:
The real charm of this release is the Kenner-style cardback. It perfectly blends the classic *Star Wars* aesthetic with *Andor*-era storytelling, making it a great addition to any The Vintage Collection display.
Final Thoughts:
Vel Sartha is a solid addition to The Vintage Collection lineup. While she could have included more accessories, her well-executed sculpt and articulation make her a great figure for fans of *Andor* and rebel characters.
