This figure is an improvement over the Attack of the Clones Dooku figures in almost every way. He stands very well without a stand, he has enough articulation in his waist, arms, legs, and head to do a variety of poses, all of which look appropriate for his character. His hands and head can even be removed (although I recommend doing so very carefully) so that collectors can recreate his death from the movie. His head-sculpt is the most convincing of almost any Dooku figure too. My only complaints are that his cape is a sandy gold instead of the dark brown it's supposed to be and the blade of lightsaber--which fits very loosely in his hand--is pink.
