Mace's Posse Virtual Diorama

Mace's Posse"In the name of the Galactic Senate of the Republic, you are under arrest, Chancellor." With those words, Mace Windu and his fellow Jedi ignite their lightsabers. This is one of the coolest looking scenes in the Episode III trailer and it is recreated here with the respective action figures. Mace Windu (#10), Saesee Tiin (#30), Agen Kolar (#20) , and Kit Fisto (#22) show off their versatility and posability. Cloth robes from SAGA's Pilot Obi-Wan Kenobi figure and VOTC's Ben Kenobi figures completes the look.

Some notes about this recreation:
--Each figure was shot separately and then added together in Photoshop.
--Tape was used on the robes on Mace and Agen to keep them from flaring out too much.
--The Agen Kolar figure cannot physically be in this pose; I had to disconnect his right arm at the elbow to get a pose close to what is seen in the movie.
--The background is made up of several different frames from the trailer and pieced together in Photoshop.

ROTS #20 Agen KolarAgen Kolar was one of the Jedi figures I most wanted to get--his plastic, removable robes interested me from the beginning.

ROTS #34 Clone Pilot (with Firing Cannon) Review

ROTS #34 Clone PilotThe clone pilots got some good screen time in Revenge of the Sith, and you can extend their story even further than the movie did with the action figures. Good posability and some large accessories ensure good quality playtime can be had. And if you've got an ARC or a Republic Gunship, then you need a couple of these guys.

ROTS #6 Clone Trooper (Quick-Draw Attack) Review

ROTS #6 Clone TrooperClone Troopers are always a welcome addition, and this one's better than expected. At first I thought the action feature would totally make this figure lame, but I was wrong. This is one of the rare instances where the action feature doesn't affect the figure very much, and that's something to be proud of on Hasbro's part. Read on for the review and 19 photos!
