August 2014 Update - The Black Series Trio

so what can i say..?
well, this latest transaction is another dream come true for me..
i have been eyeing on the Bastila Shan figure ever since it made its The Vintage Collection debut..
but unfortunately, it was often sold as part of the set during those times, and as 'single' it was sold at a very high price..
thanks to Hasbro for releasing it again as part of the Black Series..
and also, thanks to Kramer for offering it in their store and for selling 'single' copies of it...

it was another brilliant and excellent deal with Kramer..
after they announced that they'll be selling copies of the Bastila Shan unit from the Black Series, i immediately inquired about that offer..
during that time, i was also interested in purchasing a copy of both Mara Jade and Luminara Unduli, also from the Black Series..
i asked them if they can reserve both units for me while we wait for the arrival of Bastila Shan, and they kindly did..
it took sometime before the Bastila Shan set finally arrived at their store, but it was worth waiting for...

we completed the entire transaction only through text (with some help via Facebook)..
and that's just a proof that Kramer is still very considerate and trustworthy as usual..
i think they're getting better and better with their work..
and now they even have their own website where you can preorder stuff, make reservation(s), and which accepts online payment through credit cards and more (kindly checkout the links in their Facebook page)...

and so i should say, thank you so much Kramer Toy Warden for fulfilling my Bastila Shan dream... ^_^
keep up the good work!
and i look forward to more interesting transactions with you in the future..
here's a related review about them: Kramer Toy Warden

this bunch of Black Series was delivered to me by LBC..
and i believe this is the first time that i and Kramer asked for their service..
i think a lot has changed now regarding their system..
and i believe it's all for the better..
it only took them more than 12 hours to deliver my package to me..
their website's tracking system seems to be more accurate and dependable based on my recent purchases..
and now, they are using some sort of electronic scanner device where the consignee of the package can directly input their signature...



JEDI ORDER:

Bastila Shan..
a Human female who served as a Jedi Padawan, from the planet Talravin..
she also briefly became an apprentice to the Sith Master, Darth Malak..
despite her youth, she was found to have an exceptional gift with the Force power known as battle meditation; which increased her allies' morale while demoralizing her enemies..
in addition, her allies would be granted perfect coordination and the ability to respond instantly and perfectly to the enemy's every change in formation and strategy..
so with this power she could affect the outcome of a battle by thought alone..
she wields a yellow double-bladed lightsaber...

she's my very first action figure who makes use of a double-bladed lightsaber..
and on the picture on the right, you can see her beautiful ponytail... :)

well, this version seems less-polished compared to it's debut version..
based on some review websites, this release seems to have a lighter and less-skillful paint job..
but i'm totally fine with that - as long as i can have a copy of Bastila Shan at an affordable price... ^_^

Luminara Unduli (new & better Black Series' sculpt)..
a Mirialan Jedi Master and an adviser to the Jedi High Council, from Mirial..
she is the master of Barriss Offee...

on the picture on the right, you can see that this sculpt of her is equipped with a removable headdress..
despite being a 'better sculpt', this version's boots lack in design and paint job unlike the previous version..
i still have the old sculpt of her..
but because of this new purchase, i might include that action figure of her in my For Sale list..
refer to this previous entry about her...

above is a comparative view of the new and the old version of Luminara Unduli..
and below is a comparative view of their respective boots...

above and below are comparative images of both new and old Luminara Unduli sculpt and Barriss Offee...

Mara Jade Skywalker..
a Human female..
during different times in her life, she bacame an Emperor's Hand, a smuggler, and later a Jedi Master who sat upon the Jedi High Council..
she was raised as a servant to Emperor Palpatine and became a high-level Force-using operative who carried out the Emperor's bidding; killing Rebels and corrupt Imperials alike with cold professionalism, even as a young woman..
later she served as Jedi Master to both Jaina Solo and Anakin Solo, children of Han Solo and Leia Organa...

though she's a Jedi Master, she'll probably spend most of the time with the Rebels, just like Luke Skywalker..
at first, i thought that i'd only have this unit just so i can have a partner/wife for Luke Skywalker (once i've decided on what version of him to buy)..
but after i have opened and inspected this Mara Jade figure, i'm just amazed on how good she looks..
she may look a bit of a retro, but this particular unit looks hot and will definitely make it to my Women of Star Wars list...

the above photos show the different holster options for this Mara Jade figure..
the top photo features her removable holster positioned at her right side..
while the photo below features her holster attached to the back of her belt...

July 2014 Update - Naboo's Starfighter

about a week ago i had this very tempting offer from a local ebay seller whom i've had a few transactions with just by the end of 2013 and early this 2014..
he offered me the latest model of the Naboo Starfighter which used to be in my WishList, and so i immediately grabbed the opportunity to get a copy of it, upon verifying the authenticity of the unit...

the week that passed wasn't a great week..
a strong typhoon hit our area, there was blackout all over the northern part of the country, and the delivery of my item got delayed..
lucky for me, the courier still successfully delivered my package the day after that great typhoon..
so it's not a bad week after all...

my latest purchase is a vehicle..
so basically (again), it made my Estimated Rate increase..
but it's okay with me, because it was still a great deal..
actually, there are some items out there that can help me lessen my Estimated Rate value, but it's kinda hard to insert them in my 'to buy list' especially when my top-priority targets are coming in the scene...



REBEL VEHICLES:

Naboo Royal N-1 Starfighter..
sometimes known simply as the Naboo Starfighter..
a starfighter used by the government of Naboo for defense, patrol, and escort duties..
the Royal N-1 Starfighter featured the best elements of Naboo design, being aesthetically sound and adhering to Naboo's love for curves and aerodynamic shapes...

for the very first time, i featured a unit which is not fully-assembled..
i did not attach the tail portion of this starfighter because i'm afraid that i may have problems with its interlocking parts..
i have experienced that problem with my AT-AP unit, and i had to use force to separate the cannon on top from the main body, and it resulted to some minor damage on the interlocking parts..
for now, i still don't have a decent room for all my collection, so i need to put them back in their packaging after inspecting and taking photos of them..
and so, i need to be very careful and make sure that each unit (especially vehicles) can still be disassembled after...

on the upper right portion of the image above, shows how tall a pilot figure is compared to the starfighter...

here's a photo revealing the concealed proton torpedo launchers on the side engines...

the latest model of the Naboo Starfighter features a working compartment for the astromech droid..
the photo above shows a full-body R2-D2 unit placed inside the starfighter's back portion..

the upper image shows that a Vintage Collection Naboo Pilot can fit inside the starfighter's cockpit..
and the image below it shows that a Padme Amidala (disguised as a Naboo Security Pilot) can also fit inside..
i've also tried putting in an old version of Ric Olie, but it would require forceful methods to do so..
TIP: don't use the sliding canopy to put a pilot inside the starfighter, i suggest you open the upper part of the main body (the one which reveals the engine inside) and start from there...

here's a comparative top view of a Naboo Starfighter and a V-Wing Starfighter..
here you can see how long the Naboo Starfighter is (which is about 22 inches or 55 cm long), compared to a V-Wing Starfighter (which is about 14 inches or 35 cm long)...
and so this makes my new Naboo Starfighter the longest vehicle in my collection right now...




NON-MATCH FURNITURE:
and here's a short update for my non-match furniture..

glass chamber..
i'm not sure what this item used to be (it looks like a soap container to me)..
but, i'm planning to use it like some sort of transparent chamber for holding mid-sized bodies or entities...

February 2014 Update - The Rebels Finally Got a Starfighter

i got these new items last February 26, 2014..
i have mentioned on one of my previous posts that i'll try to lessen the rate of my expenses per action figure, after it has continuously  increased due to recent purchases..
but unfortunately, i found this drool worthy item on the local ebay, and so i was forced to commit to buy it immediately..
well, it did increase my estimated rate just because one of the items which i bought is a vehicle, but i think it was a good decision coz i think they're cheap considering their size and condition... ^_^



UTAPAU:
these are units that i'll assign to the planet, Utapau...

Clone Trooper 212th Battalion..
they are troopers assigned under Clone Commander Cody..
these troopers were distinguished by the orange markings on their Phase II armor..
they are particulary assigned to the planet of Utapau...

well, this one has a quite discolored helmet, that can be easily noticed if compared to the condition of its armor..
and the inside of that helmet seems to have a greenish staining substance (probably due to the paint that was used for this action figure's hair)..
but in a way, i find that defect helpful in distinguishing units of the same name and design (considering army-building)..
plus, this trooper got me a very nice clear plastic glass-like action figure stand, so it's not a bad deal after all... :)



REBEL VEHICLES:
these are vehicles that i'll assign to my Rebel Alliance...

V-Wing Starfighter..
named the Alpha-3 Nimbus-class V-Wing starfighter, but often called the V-Wing Starfighter or Nimbus Fighter..
it is a short-ranged starfighter..
the V-Wing were later succeeded by the Imperial TIE Fighter and its variants, as well as the Rebel RZ-1 A-Wing Interceptor, all of which incorporated aspects of the V-Wing into their designs (i find this a helpful trivia coz i really plan on getting some TIE Fighters and an A-Wing in the future)...

the photo at the top left shows the side view of the V-Wing Starfighter with its landing gear: 1 at the front and 2 attached to the wings (they require the wings to be folded in order to perform the landing)..
at the top right shows a comparative view of the V-Wing Starfighter and a sample pilot..
at bottom left is the V-Wing Starfighter in flight mode (with the wings open), and it also shows that a pilot can actually fit inside its cockpit..
and lastly, at the bottom right is a clearer view of the pilot sitting inside the cockpit...

because this is a generic starfighter, the astromech droid that goes with it doesn't have a unique or proper name...

this was the very reason why i made this latest purchase..
i thought it was cheap (only Php 50 higher compared to my Aayla Secura Jedi Starfighter), so i bought it ASAP..
this is the red and clean version of the V-Wing Starfighter(s) that are already available in the market..
although it has the Imperial Crest on it, i've decided to just assign it to my rebel forces..
actually, i don't have much vehicles assigned to the Rebel Alliance, and the A-Wing was my 2nd choice for their spacecraft (after losing interest on the vintage X-Wing), (my 1st choice being the Naboo Starfighter)..
but after recognizing the resemblance between the V-Wing and the A-Wing, i thought that the V-Wing would be a better choice for my army...

 

the photo at the top shows a comparative view of the size of an actual astromech droid figure (R2-D2 in this example) and an astromech droid attached to an Eta-2 Actis-class Jedi Interceptor (Aayla Secura's R4-G9)..
they are almost of the same size, though the starfighter's astromech droid doesn't have a full body..
and at the bottom picture, shows a comparative view of an astromech droid figure and an Alpha-3 Nimbus-class V-Wing Starfighter's astromech-droid-attachment..
this time, the V-Wing Starfighter's astromech droid's head is smaller compared to that of a full astromech droid action figure...

and here's a comparative semi-top view of an Alpha-3 Nimbus-class V-Wing Starfighter and an Eta-2 Actis-class Jedi Interceptor..
the compressed form of the V-Wing Starfighter (because you can actually pull the wing portions, thus extending the wings to the sides.. i'm not sure if it's actually meant to work like that since i haven't seen or read any V-Wing visual guide that discusses that, and also, extending the wings to the sides disables the wings' spring-open feature) is narrower compared to the Jedi Interceptor, but after attaching the front portion of the V-Wing Starfighter to its main body, it becomes quite a long spacecraft (longer than the Jedi Interceptor)...

October 2013 Update - Infiltration Units, Etc.

sorry for the late update..
my very own computer went down even before I could post this particular collection update a few months ago..
but anyway, here's what's new back then...



REBEL ALLIANCE:

Mouse (in Stormtrooper disguise)..
a Duros agent in the Rebel Alliance..
a specialist for demolition and sabotage...

Duros (or occasionally Durosians) are humanoid species native to the planet Duro..
years before the formation of the Republic, the Duros colonized the planet Neimoidia, giving rise to a genetically distinct "newer version" of Duros called the Neimoidians..
the Neimoidians retained many similarities to their Duros cousins including basic form, noseless faces, and green skin (though Neimoidians tended to be grayer)..
however, in contrast to their ancestors, Neimoidians possessed pupils that split horizontally, lumpy foreheads, and perpetually frowning mouths..
in addition, Neimoidians tended to be cowardly, greedy and fearful of death, whereas the average Duro was adventurous, gregarious and peaceful..
not surprisingly, one of the most powerful insults among the Duros was to be called a 'Neimoidian'...

here's a comparative view of a Duros and a Neimoidian..
the noticeable difference being on their facial or head structure...

Basso (in Stormtrooper disguise)..
a member of the Rebel Alliance from the planet of Ralltiir...

originally, i bought the Comic Pack in which these first 2 units are included..
first, because of the Neimoidian-like protagonist, Mouse (coz i've always thought that Neimoidians are bad species, without knowing about the Duros specie before)..
and second, because this is the Comic Pack variation where Basso gets a Sandtrooper pauldron...



JEDI ORDER:

Barriss Offee..
a Mirialan Jedi Knight, from the planet of Mirial..
she trained as a padawan under Jedi Master Luminara Unduli..
she's a skilled Jedi Healer..
and a practitioner of Form III: Soresu, also known as the Way of the Mynock, or The Resilience Form, which is the third of the seven classic forms of lightsaber combat that was recognized by the Jedi Council prior to and during the Clone Wars..
Soresu was developed during the widespread emergence of blasters as an offensive weapon..
essentially a development on Form I blast-deflect training, Soresu relied on tight bladework and subtle dodges to provide maximum defensive coverage, minimizing exposure to ranged weaponry..
over time, Soresu transcended this basic origin, and came to be considered the ultimate expression of non-aggressive Jedi philosophy...

Barriss Offee actually had a bad record as a Jedi..
so i'll just use her as a Jedi Padawan like Ahsoka Tano...

here's a comparative view between Barriss Offee and an old sculpt of her master Luminara Unduli...



IMPERIAL TROOPERS:

Clone Trooper Officer (Captain)..
this is a First Generation Clone Trooper..
there are clone trooper armors which are marked with color-coded flashes..
at the beginning of the Clone Wars, the colors signify rank (yellow for commanders, red for captains, blue for lieutenants, and green for sergeants)..
by the end of the war, the flashes come to identify specialized units such as the Galactic Marines and Shock Troopers...



NEUTRAL GROUNDS:

Lt. Dannyl Faytonni..
a con artist from the planet of Corellia, and friend of Achk Med-Beq..
he originally aspired to serve the Republic as an officer, but was conned into fronting a phony spice mine by a changeling..
on the run from the law, he decided to make a living as a con artist and teamed up with his inventive friend Achk Med-Beq..
they set off across the galaxy, gambling and conning their way to Coruscant..
upon reaching the galactic capital, the partners in crime were arrested and detained at CoCo Penitentiary, but not for long..
they made a newsworthy escape from the prison, and set up shop in the Outlander Club, where they constantly hunted and pecked for "marks"...

March 2013 Update - Awesome Nightsister Deal

yesterday, March 18, i received my latest Star Wars items..
i'm still preparing for the release of the latest Padme, so i only bought 2 units for the meantime..
my package was delivered by Air 21..
i'm not sure about my last Air21 delivery, but this time - the SMS update was there again, and i really appreciate that a lot..
they tell you when your package is about to be delivered, and they even remind you to be there at your posting address during that target date, or have an authorized representative to receive the package for you..^_^
it was sent during a Saturday, and took a little more than 2 days to complete the delivery (since they operate on a scheduled basis)..
anyway, i think they're still better compared to another courier service provider...

i bought it from a very good seller (and collector as well)..
they are known as Kramer Toy Warden..
they sell collectible stuff through ebay, Facebook, and also in their toy shop (or shops, haven't checked it out though since i usually order my toys online)..
what i especially like about them is that they can sell collectible items at very low prices..
sometimes they even offer 'out of this world' promos..^_^
they are definitely one of the best online sellers in the Philippines..
not to mention that they are very kind, considerate, and trustworthy..
you can even make your orders via SMS or Facebook without any worry..
those are the reasons why i highly recommend them..
if you're interested to check out their store, below is a link to their Facebook page:
http://www.facebook.com/Kramertoywarden



now let's go on with my new toys...

NIGHTSISTERS:

Nightsister..
from the planet of Dathomiri..
Nightsisters were a sect of the Witches who embraced the use of dark arts within their Force-driven Magicks..
they were originally members of other witch clans who began to utilize the dark side, they focused extensively on the art of casting Force illusions, and Witches found guilty of practicing these heretical techniques were banished into Dathomir's wilderness and left for dead..
originally founded by the exiled witch Gethzerion, who united the wandering outcasts to form a new clan..
during the Clone Wars, Mother Talzin transformed her people into a mercenary society that trained in combat and Magick so that they can offer their services as bodyguards, assassins, and soldiers..
one of their famous members being Asajj Ventress...

she's my very first animated (Clone Wars-based) action figure..
i got her as a loose figure, but that's okay coz it saved me a lot of money compared to purchasing the entire Darth Maul Returns set..
it also saved me from the task of disposing unnecessary units..
i bought her, coz i find her skull-like makeup cool, plus the red feathery outfit..
she may look a bit scary but she's actually sexy, especially the way her legs are bandaged..
and i think she can blend well together with my non-animated collections..
now i can't wait to pair her with Darth Nihilus..
she's quite tall, almost as tall as TVC's Aayla Secura..
she closely resembles Mother Talzin from the Clone Wars era, but i don't think it's her..
i'm going to make their clan allies with the Confederation of Independent Systems, just like in the animated series..
another target brought down from my WishList Page...^_^



REBEL ALLIANCE:

Rebel Pilot (Mon Calamari)..
a Mon Calamari who pilots an A-Wing Starfighter for the Rebel Alliance...

here's a comparative view of a Mon Calamari Officer and a Mon Calamari Pilot..
the pilot's skin is a lot darker in color..
it may not be so clear in this picture, but the colored patterns in their bodies are also different from one another..
and in the bottom picture, you can see the difference between the size of their heads, and the orientation of their eyes, as well as the difference in their helmets...



here's another great deal that lessened my collections overall cost...^_^

December 2012 Update - The Vintage Collection Wave 16

finally done with the low quality photoshoot..
so this is my good news before the end of 2012..
i got myself a Vintage Collection Wave 16, consisting of 12 action figures - my most expensive transaction for the year..
i already added 8 units to my official collection..
and the remaining 4, well i'm planning to sell them but unfortunately i still can't use the selling feature on ebay coz for some reason i just can't complete the registration process using my mobile number...



REBEL ALLIANCE:

Republic Trooper..
this particular armor design was that of the Havoc Squad...

although the action figure wasn't named after Jace Malcolm, it's armor and head sculpt looks exactly like him, thus this figure can already play his role..
it seems to me that this armor design (particularly the helmet and the color scheme) is based on Commander Cody of the Clone Troopers..
this particular sculpt has a noticeably small head compared to other figures..
but a good thing about it is that you can also turn it into an ordinary Havoc Trooper by removing the bandolier..
i'll be assigning this unit together with the rebels, and i think they'll look great battling against the Imperial Troopers...

here's a comparative view of Commander Thire (a Phase II-based Clone Trooper armor) and the Republic Trooper..
not much difference in terms of size (height), except for the helmet - the Republic Trooper's helmet is a bit smaller..
i would like to do the comparison with Commander Cody so we can see the resemblance, but unfortunately i still don't have that unit coz i can't find any copy on the local ebay...



ROYAL GUARD:

Emperor's Royal Guard..
the Royal Guards are Emperor Palpatine's elite security force..
they are respected and feared throughout the galaxy for their elegant and deadly fighting skills..
candidates are chosen from the ranks of the Imperial squads and are trained on the barren world of Yinchorr..
they work hard to master the lessons being taught to them, for their very lives are at stake..
the basic royal guard usually wear red themed masks and robes, while some special units may wear a black themed outfit or a combination of black and red...

like the Republic Trooper, this one is also an interesting figure..
aside from being a Royal Guard, an alternate helmet and accessories are available so you can convert it to Crucible attire..
actually its head sculpt looks somewhat similar to a unit featured in the Legacy Collection's Crimson Empire (Crucible Arena) set, but this action figure was not named after him...

here's a comparative view of a Senate Guard and the Royal Guard...



JEDI ORDER:

Obi-Wan Kenobi (Jedi Knight version)..
this armor is based on the animated series, but was provided with a non-animated head sculpt...

i really like that Jedi emblem on his left shoulder armor - makes him look more legitimate as a Jedi..
and i prefer this armor compared to his Clone Trooper Phase I-based armor..
he is my third and probably the last Obi-Wan figure that i'll ever need..
here are related articles to Obi-Wan: Jedi General version and Old version...

here's a comparative view of the Jedi General version and the Jedi Knight version..
the Jedi Knight's armor has dirt on it and the color is more of cream already and it's lightsaber is a darker shade of blue compared to the Jedi General version..
and in the picture below, i equipped it with the Jedi General's big Clone Trooper helmet...

Ahsoka Tano..
a female Togruta from the planet of Shili..
a Jedi padawan assigned under Jedi Master Anakin Skywalker..
she is nicknamed 'Snips' by her master..
an interesting aspect about her is that she wields two lightsabers - one with the usual length and a shorter blade called a shoto...

like Obi-Wan Kenobi's Jedi Knight version, she's also a crossover figure from the animated series..
she's my very first Jedi padawan unit (i mean every Jedi started out as being padawans, but there are some like her who never made it to being full pledged Jedi or Jedi Master)...



NEUTRAL GROUNDS:

Aurra Sing..
she looks like she's near-human, but is actually an unknown hybrid from the planet of Nar Shaddaa..
also known as Nashtah..
she's a bounty hunter specializing in Jedi and political assassinations, once a Jedi padawan under An'ya Kuro or Dark Woman..
she has worked as a commander in the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars and has also served as an imperial agent under Darth Vader..
she has an antenna implant and a Rhen-Orm biocomputer on her head...

due to multiple affiliations i'd put her under neutral grounds, serving as bounty hunter to anyone who would ask for her service except for the Jedi Order...



NABOO:

Naboo Pilot..

this figure has an interesting headgear, particularly the helmet with the goggles up in the cap..
i noticed that the glasses of the goggles was made transparent, but the cap underneath it is still painted with red - excellent effect...



TATOOINE:

Weequay..
a skiff guard working for Jabba the Hutt...



EWOKS:

Lumat..
an Ewok..
he is the chief woodcutter of his tribe..
husband of Zephee and father to Latara, Nippet and Wiley...



LIGHTSABER COLLECTION:

and just an update to my lightsaber collection..
i included Jarael's staff coz it has a lightsaber look, not to mention the fact that i like Jarael a lot..
this is as of December 2012...

Star Wars Action Figures - Set 12

KAMINO CLONE FACILITY:
this will be the set where the imperial clone troopers are produced and trained..
this is also where their weapons and vehicles are being developed and manufactured..
i'll be assigning all my ARC troopers, commando troopers, Kaminoans, some other clone troopers, and some Mandalorians in this area..

Jango Fett..
a Mandalorian bounty hunter from Concord Dawn..
he is the host of the clone army..
he is the father of Boba Fett who is also a genetic copy of him, but didn't have any alteration on his genetic structure or growth process...

Advanced Recon Commando (ARC) Trooper (yellow variant)..

i'll have this type of troopers lead the entire clone army next to their Mandalorian supervisors...

Delta Three-Eight or Boss or RC-1138..
is the leader of the Delta Squad, which is an elite clone commando squad organized to carry out high level missions...

although they are based in the Kamino Facility, i will have them on a mission to Geonosis...

Fixer or RC-1140..
Delta Squad's hacker and technical expert..
he is not used to calling himself and others by their nicknames..
he rarely speaks, and his favorite move is to vibroblade an enemy..
a complete by-the-book clone, he is more distant than his brothers...

Sev or RC-1207..
Delta Squad's hunter and sniper..
he is the most war-oriented or battle-oriented in the team and he enjoys that..
he likes to joke around with Scorch...

Scorch or RC-1262..
Delta Squad's demolitions expert..
he has a jocular sense of humor, often providing anecdotes during idle moments of their missions...



MANDALORIANS:
are considered to be among the best fighters in the galaxy..
they work as mercenaries or bounty hunters..
they are known for their cutting-edge weaponry and strict code of honor..

Rohlan Dyre..
a Mandalorian crusader and former commander during the early mandalorian wars..
he has teamed up with the Arkanian Offshoot Jarael...

Star Wars Action Figures - Set 09

TATOOINE:
a desert planet which is home to the most popular crime lord, Jabba the Hutt..
it is also the home planet of Anakin Skywalker..

Jabba Desilijic Tiure or more popularly known as Jabba the Hutt and sometimes as the "Bloated One"..
leader of Jabba Desilijic Tiure's Criminal Empire..
the Hutt crime lord who is very influential across the galaxy...

he's my biggest character so far...

Oola..
a Rutian Twi'lek who is daughter to the clan chieftain in Ryloth, and half sister to the leader of the Diversity Alliance, Noola Tarkona ..
she was tricked into becoming one of Jabba's dancers...

the picture on the right shows her naked form..
for some reason she has some black discoloration on her skin probably due to her black costume, bad defect...T,T

Salacious B. Crumb or simply Salacious Crumb..
a Kowakian monkey-lizard and the court jester of Jabba the Hutt..
his specie is a native of the planet Kowak...



TUSKEN RAIDERS:
are nomadic, primitive sentients indigenous to Tatooine..
they are often hostile to other local settlers of the planet..

Tusken Raider Female with Tusken Child..
tusken children are called Uli-ah...



REBEL ALLIANCE:
the following are rebels assigned in Tatooine..

Lando Calrissian..
originally from the planet of Socorro..
he is the former administrator of the Cloud City in the planet of Bespin, former administrator of the Nkllon Mining Operation and also the former administrator of the Yavin Corusca Crystal Mining Operation..
he serves as a general in the Rebel Alliance...

since he is disguised as a Skiff Guard, i'm assigning him as a spy in Jabba Desilijic Tiure's Criminal Empire...



IMPERIAL TROOPERS:
once i find the stormtroopers armor very cool..
but after the movie series introduced new designs, i started to like them better than the original..
although logically or chronologically, the stormtrooper design is the more modern version of the imperial troopers armor, the concept of the clone troopers armor and other latest trooper designs just look more technologically and conceptually advanced due to modern influences..
because of that, i decided to just assign their troops in Tatooine, coz it seems to be an old-fashioned planet..

Sandtrooper..
they look similar to stormtroopers except for the shoulder pauldron..
their armor is specially designed to suit the desert environment...

Stormtrooper..
this is the generic armor during the first movie trilogy...

i used to like this form because of its contrast to Darth Vaders all-black theme..
this is one of my two very first Star Wars action figures, the other being Lando Calrissian (above)..
they were sold together so i got two figures for my very first purchase..
after i acquired Obi-Wan Kenobi (which is only my third unit), i stopped collecting for a very long time..
i started collecting when i was in grade school and only proceeded during my last year in college..
my first 3 units are made by Kenner...
