Star Wars Bounty Hunter: Dengar 12″ Action Figure
I really like this figure. He is a MUST if you are collecting all of the six bounty hunters in ESB. His outfit is very well made (although primarily plastic and a paint job)aside from the pack he has on his back which may fall off time to time if you mess around with him. But he poses great and if you just display them then don’t worry about the pack falling off.
I would say he is one of the better Star Wars dolls. His face sculpt is good, and his costum is pretty top-notch. His costum is thick to make him look like the fat, and the body that Hasbro used is the basic G.I. Joe body.
Dengar, best remembered for his stance with the other five members of the defunct bounty hunter’s guild in The Empire Strikes Back, is back with a vengeance, looking his facially marred best when huddled together with members of his proud Han-hunting procession. The 12″ figure isn’t bad, either, with a few merits that are great and a couple of disappointing features to mingle in to the overall package.
First, I have to deal with the issue of packaging, one I’m not really happy with when I see any newly released “older” figures. Its not that I really worry about the boxes, per say, but I think that the setup does influences choices, and if I weren’t a bounty hunter fan then I might have passed up this blandly boxed Empire recreation. Next, there’s the issue of the head and the hands, both of which don’t really seem go with the figure at first. In fact, when I glanced that plastic molded head staring out at me from an otherwise cloth-ridden body, I was saddened. I had wished for it to be wrapped and not simply fitted to a clothed body, but neither the hands or the head are like that. Still, I do have to say that the figure is really a nice addition to my collection, looking better out of the box than in it. Here you have nothing overly surprising, for he’s your atypical new release 12′ model; with snapped-on armor that you never want to attempt to liberate adjoined with white cloth underneath, plastic boots anchoring a body that sometimes likes to stand, a limited flexibility, and a nice replica weapon/backpack (a snap-on) thrown in for good measure. The coloration is done well, plus the costuming was more than I had hoped for.
Basically, I would say that this is a worthy buy because I’m a bounty hunter fan. Still, its something worth checking into even if you like simply like the movie, giving you something to fixate on freezing anyone you meet in carbonite with.
