Search for the Rebel Spy isn’t a bad addition to the Star Tours multipack sub line.  But it’s not great either, especially for $35 (retail).  It’s got a (strange) slight repaint of a previously released trooper in the line, a repaint of a droid previously released in the line, and a retool of a droid that was released almost simultaneously in the garbage ROTS3D (Creepy Vader) 5POA line.

The Sky Trooper may be the highlight of the set, which isn’t saying a ton.  This figure was previously released (x2!) in the Ambush at Star Tours pack.  For whatever reason, intentional or not, this has a slightly different paint scheme on the upper chest markings.  I have to assume it was a mistake, and this is not meant to be another unit or something.  Either that, or it’s a rank designation.  That silliness aside, the figure is pretty cool looking if you like your stormtroopers blended with the clone trooper aesthetic.  It uses the annoying base stormtrooper with the narrow (read: unposable) lower body, and the rigid hands that barely grip the weapon.

The Signal Droid is delightful, but it’s a repaint of the same mold released in the Star Tours Travel Agency pack.  It’s neat, but nothing new if you had the previous one.  The clear plastic stand is necessary to get the figure upright and gives a nice hovering effect.  As demonstrated in the Travel Agency pack, the stand also works with the WA-7 droid, allowing it to stand upright when attached to the uni-wheel. 

The “star” of the set is the Seeker Droid.  It’s similar in concept to the Imperial Probe Droid, in that it has a large head with multiple instruments, hovers, and has several arms.  The head has some interesting paint patterns on top, which seem to evoke Darth Vader’s mask.  This droid also has 4 arms that are articulated at the point where they connect to the “head”.  There is also a removable “chin gun”, which given Disney’s track record, is probably something non-lethal, like a toothpaste dispenser.  The figure comes with a clear stand to complete the hovering effect.  Interestingly (or not), a Seeker Droid was released in a crappy two-pack with a 5POA Darth Vader in the very poor and short-lived ROTS3D line.  That version of the Seeker Droid has fewer arms and much less detail sculpted and painted.  So if you’re in the market for the best Seeker Droid, this is it.

A mediocre set, and a stretch for $35 at Disney Parks at the time of release.  If you couldn’t make the trip, most people either tried calling and ordering by phone (how uncivilized!) or picked it up on the secondary market.
