(NOTE: Because this is a repaint, this is not a full-blown review. This mainly covers any changes made to the mold and the color scheme, and merely compares it to SWTF Saesee Tiin. For a review on the mold itself, read the review of SWTF Saesee Tiin here.)

    Yet another repaint of the Episode II Jedi Starfighter has been done up into another Jedi, this time around Plo Kloon. Plo Kloon certainly has a tasteful color palette, I'll give him that. The dark blue already goes quite well with the off-white, and unlike on many SWTFs, it's used rather liberally so that there aren't any huge patches of that bleh off-white anywhere. What I REALLY like about the paint apps is how the blue radiates in lines away from the cockpit-- it really makes him stand out from the other Jedi Starfighters. The yellow also looks pretty good against the blue, but it's too bright to really do much against the white. The orange used on parts of his robot mode is also a nice touch, and goes quite well with either color. The black and silver are used sparingly, and only as accent colors, but they work nicely, too.
    Plo Kloon has a new head mold, which like most others is a mechanized version of his "real" head. Given that Plo Kloon's head is already partially mechanized though, it's not nearly that much of a stretch this time around to make his features fit in with a mech-- it's all sculpted quite well.
    Plo Kloon is yet another repaint of the Episode II Jedi Starfighter mold, but in my opinion he's the best. The dark blue goes really well with the off-white, and the "sunburst" pattern in vehicle mode is especially nice. The accent colors, like the yellow, silver, and black, only help this. Recommended the most out of the various versions of this mold.
