| Sculpt: |
| Talz Jedi Knight Foul Moudama was tasked with keeping Supreme Chancellor Palpatine out of the hands of Separatist forces during the invasion of Coruscant, as seen in STAR WARS: CLONE WARS Vol. 2. Originally rendered in the stylized art of the CLONE WARS animated series, this figure utilizes Kenner's old POLF2 Muftak sculpt from the Kabe and Muftak online exclusive. As a movie-style version of an animated character, this is one of the better CLONE WARS figures, and rates 8.5 out of 10. |

| Paint: |
| The figure is molded in light gray, with a medium gray wash applied to the fur. His face, hands, and feet have dark gray applied to areas with bare skin, and black to his claws. His eyes are glossy black, rimmed with the same pink as used on his proboscus. The Jedi tunic is light tan, with medium brown and tan applied to the belt. There are both silver and gold accents on the belt. The boots are medium brown, with charcoal gray soles. The lightsaber has an all-silver hilt. 8.5/10. |

| Articulation: |
| Planer-cut neck, right elbow, shoulders, and hips. Not much more to be expected from a recycled POTF2 mold: 7.5/10. |

| |
| |
| Accessories: |
| Character-specific figure stand, removable tunic and boots, and a lightsaber. The lightsaber should have been increased in size to be in the same scale as the character, and so that it would actually fit securely into the right hand: 7.5/10. |

| Packaging: |
| The same The Saga Collection card as the rest of the series, with a character-specific background image--in this case, the inner of the Supreme Chancellor's office. The insert image is a manipulated image of Muftak, with the Jedi tunic and lightsaber added to him, and has The Saga Collection logo to the right of the character image. The figure's name is just below TSC logo, with its collection number (Foul Moudama is Saga #029) just to the right. Just to the figure's left is the new series of five arrows, indicating the placement of the hologram figure. The cardback features an image of the animated version of the character from CLONE WARS, and has text that explains the character, along with the diecut display area for the Exclusive Hologram Figure: 8.5/10. |

| Availability: |
| As of this writing, the figure has been appearing at retail for two months. Initially had to find in the Coruscant wave, it has been inserted into several revision cases; it is also available from most online sources: 9/10. |

| |
| Conclusion: |
| This is a figure that might have been more appealing if done in the animated style, but it certainly is a welcome addition to the ranks of non-humanoid Jedi Knights. With a newly-sculped Momaw Nadon coming out in the Tatooine wave, perhaps a version of Moudama's fellow Jedi, Ithorian Roron Corobb, won't be too far behind: 8.3/10. |
