This is not a good toy for children.  The swivel forearms tend to pop out when trying to bend the figure at the elbows. On top of that the figures doesn’t do that much aside from stand there.  Having said that, we don’t rate this figures as childrens toys (sad as that may be). 

As a figure targeted towards collectors, it’s pretty good.  Sure it lacks any lower body articulation, but that articulation would be wasted given the molded dress.  Granted Hasbro could have attempted a soft goods treatment, but there is no way the design would have been as ornate as the one we have, and it’s that design which makes this costume stand out.  You basically get two figures for one with this one.  During the refugee travel, Portman actually under goes a mild wardrobe change and you are allowed to recreate both versions of the costume.  The only deduction is from the aforementioned weak forearm joints and the fact that the mold prevents a lot of range of motion.  9 out of 10.
