November 2012 Update - Bounty Hunters

Air21 only took more than a day to deliver this new package..
but this time, the text advisory was once again missing..
i'm not sure, but they have a tendency of being inconsistent in this aspect - sometimes they'll send you SMS alert and sometimes they won't...

anyway, here's the update:


MANDALORIANS:


Mandalore the Indomitable..
his title is translated as Te Kandosii Mand'alor in Mando'a..
a Taung who grew up in his adopted homeworld of Kuar..
he served as the warlord of the Mandalorian clans prior and during the Great Sith War..
he is a Mandalorian crusader who allied his group with Exar Kun's Brotherhood of the Sith...

i bought a loose copy without a cape..
i thought it'd be better to just buy this unit instead of buying the whole Fett Legacy set, so i can avoid having a duplicate for Jango Fett (although i still need a copy with the complete Mandalorian armor) and a Boba Fett which i'm not really looking forward to have..
i guess i'll just leave Mandalore like this, or maybe make an improvised cape...


Shae Vizla..
she's an excellent Mandalorian who works for money with little care about her clients' goal or interest..
her brother was killed by Jedi Master Aurei Eadon thus resulting to her hatred towards Jedis..
a bounty hunter who works for Darth Malgus..
her helmet is distinct for it doesn't have the traditional Mandalorian t-shaped visor...

she's my very first female antagonist and the very first female Mandalorian in my collection..
i immediately bid for her once i saw the auction on ebay..
i managed to buy her for a very cheap price, less than half of her usual price that you will see on local ebay stores and/or sellers..
a very great deal for a character that has just made a debut...

about her current sculpt..
well, it's not very attractive, kinda sexy but not enough..
the same goes for her face, she looks fierce so her real beauty is concealed..
she is supposed to be a redhead femme-fatale, and a bounty hunter goddess..
there are some bust and full-size statues of her which actually looks good - better than her current action figure state..
and her 3D render in the cinematics for The Old Republic computer game is very HOT..
it's too much to hope for, but i wish Hasbro can recreate her in the future and come up with a more suitable version..
i'm also thinking that instead of using interchangeable heads, they may use a head sculpt with a removable hair that can be replaced with a removable helmet..
so for now, i think i'll just use her helmeted version...



my current Mandalorian collection..
known in Mando'a (which is the primary Mandalorian language) as the Mando-ade or the "Children of Mandalore", are nomadic group of clan-based people consisting of members from multiple species and multiple genders, and are bound by a common culture..
their race is considered as being among the best warriors and mercenaries across the galaxy...
