HA! I'm soooo right there with you! These are my first SW figures since I was a kid and I sure dont want to go the "one of everything" route I've done with Marvel Universe!

But I got hooked on the KOTOR comics and these characters are from that amazing series- it's got all the action and heart of the OT, with a real hero facing impossible odds and teaming up with a craxy eclectic group of friends along the way.

In short, it's Star Wars with all new characters, baby!

Figure wise, these are far above the quality of even the Saga Legends figs- those are somewhat hampered by having to match the look of real character from the movies whereas the comics allow more leeway in some ways-

For example, Tarkin does not need super articulation, so he does not get it- same with detail- the comics figs have tons more details because the medium of comics requires more visual design elements to hold interest, and Hasbro has done a great job matching it all! More details equal more great stuff on a Mandalorian- the jetpack alone is amazing- on par with the best GI Joe accessory.

Thinking on it, it's like Boba Fett- Lucas saw im as a minor character and was suprised at his popularity- but it's because of all the cool stuff he has to look at that makes him outshine most of the OT heroes.


Anyway, this pack is an amazing addition to any collection- because Hasbro has strangely not made the series hero, Zayne Carrick, I'll have to custom one up- which will require buying a couple of more SW figs...oh no....

I dont have a problem- I can quit whenever I want!

Ebay occasionally has him loose and single- just make sure he has all his swag- some chinese sellers have sold Jarael (the fig that comes with him) loosee but missing her shock staff (which looks very cool with it's two clear blue parts).


Still, as happy I am with Rholan Dyre, the upcoming Vader will beat all other figs!

Cool- who are they? I'm looking for coolness factor, articulation and accessories. Aurra Sing (my best friend has) is cool that way.
