Say you were a Jedi and you could go anywhere in the galaxy to live in any culture you chose- which one would you go to? I'm thinking hanging out with the mon calamari and quarrens might be kind of cool. But Sharad Hett decided to go to Tatooine to live with the Tusken Raiders, and that's not a bad choice either. So this guy was a character in a pretty cool arc of the Star Wars series that was launched when Episode I came out. Sharad dies but his son lives on and eventually becomes Darth Krayt. Anyways, for some reason Dark Horse never realized that red lightsabers were reserved for Sith lords, so lots of Jedis had redeyes. Which is cool because in Hett's case it wasn't clear at first if he was good or bad. He was good. And so was his son, until he became bad.
A new bounty hunter leaps from the CG Clone Wars series! Is he as iconic as Boba Fett or Bossk or 4-LOM? Not quite. But he's still pretty durn cool. Rootin tootin, maybe you could say since he has that spaghetti western look which is actually pretty appropriate given that Star Wars, at least the original movie, was as much a space western as anything else. So, pretty fine looking figure, a little limited articulation wise but really, isn't the above pose all you need him to do?
Well these guys were originally just called General Grievous' bodyguards. Now they are Magnaguards. Either way they are kickass droids that almost kind of beat the General himself in cool-lookingness. I got two of them when Sith came out though I think there are more updated sculpts with better articulation and the Clone Wars version is supposedly pretty great though I never saw one. Pretty great photo, eh? No photoshop, thank you very much! Just mad laser pointer skills.
