Hehehe...you tosser, you The matching of the colors of Dooku's lower half is particularly impressive to me. The 14 speed is an intriguing twist and lets her be a threat that uppercutters and the like usually aren't in the Star Wars game. Is her mechanism essentially like Scorponok's?

Hi, YodaBreaker. Yep, just like Scorponok, an uppercut tosser. Except Bultar has a penchant for the tip of her saber to be placed in the crotch area of the victim. Ouch! Crotch shot! (although any part of the opponent's fig that her saber tip can get under seems to work). Its actually fun to tease your opponent because you don't have to release a spring mechanism and can do it with varying degrees of force. From what I read about Bultar, she was exceptionally fast, even for a lady Jedi and deadly with a light saber up close. So along with the reason you mentioned for speed, the 14 seems fitting and working well in gameplay. Thanks for your thoughtful comments, they are always appreciated! Oh, one more thing, something I call the "conservation of custom fodder". Bultar has the upper half of Leia and the bottom of Dooku. Asajj Ventress has the upper of Dooku and the bottom of Leia.

Qui-Gon Jinn and the Green Brigade A mixture of customs, factories and a couple with very slight mods.

Mwa-ha-ha...how could the Sith stand against an army of such verdant blades?

Those are some pretty awsome customs, as allways. ;D

Great stuff. Green is definitely the way to go. If you leave out the EU, and the end of Episode III (blue vs blue), then in any other situation if you want to win/survive the duel at the end you need a green sabre in hand.

Ok, I'm such an idiot, but didn't Qui-Gon wield a green saber? We just saw a Jedi Legacy set - Qui, Bultar & Luke - and Jinn had a blue saber. Episode I is buried somewhere so I figured I'd ask here.

Yes he did, and unfortunately he didn't make it, but it was with his sabre that Obi triumphed (see my theory above) . Curious, what is a Jedi Legacy set?

Thanks, Ionic! Sometimes I doubt my own memory. Love your theory!
We saw these sets at Target. They are essentially 3 3/4" figures packaged in threes. The Jedi Legacy set has Qui-Gon Jinn, Bultar Swan & Luke Skywalker. The Sith Legacy Set has Darth Maul, Count Dooku (I think, wonder why they don't call him Darth Tyranus) & Darth Sidious. The Mandalore Set has Mandalore, Jango Fett & Boba Fett. Interesting thing is I haven't seen these sculpts released as singles, although I wouldn't be surprised if they were rehashes of old sculpts, but maybe not. There is something else very similiar being called Evolutions.

Shaak Ti with "Shakti Kundalini Blast" Just a modified Palpatine/Darth Sidious Force Battlers missile. Shoots surprisingly well and comes down with a great thunk
