R2-Q5 Astromech Droid
The R2-Q5 Astromech Droid was in the same R2 series that R2-D2 was in hence their similar appearance. The R2-Q5 droid worked primarily on the Death Star and is often thought of as the evil version of R2-D2. The R2-Q5 Droid carried tools for fixing Starships as well as gadgets for more secretive roles such [...]
AT-ST Driver
AT-ST Drivers, also known as Imperial Army Pilots, were the people who controlled the AT-ST (All Terrain Scout Transport), the two legged machines that featured in The Return of the Jedi during the Battle on Endor. They worked as a team of two for each AT-ST. As you can see from this minifigure, they weren’t [...]
Princess Leia on Hoth
Leia was the younger twin sister of Luke Skywalker, adopted by Bail Organa and Queen Breha of Alderaan shortly after her birth. Starting off as a politician before discovering her family past, she went on to become Leia Organa Solo after hooking up with Han Solo and having three children. She learnt the ways of [...]
Thi-Sen
Thi-Sen is a character from the Clone Wars and is a tribal leader of a group of Talz on the planet of Orto Plutonia that were attacked by battle droids. Anakin Skywalker led a team of clone troopers to protect the Talz but were turned on by the Talz resulting in many deaths. The LEGO [...]
Shock Trooper
Shock Troopers were the police force of Coruscant rather than military personnel and were the first clone troopers to get the name ‘Storm Trooper’. The red markings on the armour were the distinguishing features of a Shock Trooper and they were seen to accompany the Supreme Chancellor/Emperor in various parts of the Star Wars films. [...]
Rotta
Rotta is Jabba’s son. Also known as ‘Stinky’ by Ahsoka Tano and Anakin Skywalker as they had to rescue it in the Clone Wars series when it was kidnapped by Asajj Ventress. This has got to be one of the smallest minifigures I have and with no moving parts there isn’t really a great deal [...]
Ahsoka Tano
This is the Ahsoka Tano minifigure. Ahsoka is one of the newer characters from the Clone Wars animated series. She becomes Anakin Skywalker’s apprentice who takes her on reluctantly at first, but they soon get on. It seems that the newer Star Wars themed figures are becoming a lot more detailed in the face. Still [...]
Princess Leia from Battle on Endor set
This is the Princess Leia minifigure that comes with the Battle on Endor set where I also got the Han Solo minifig I recently wrote about. I’m not too sure about the red lips though, and it looks too much like she is wearing jeans, but anyway, a decent minifigure none the less.
Han Solo from Battle on Endor set
I recently bought the battle on Endor set as it had quite a few decent minifigs including this on of Han Solo. It also comes with Chewwy, Princess Leia, several Ewoks, a couple of speeder bikes with Scout Troopers and some rebel solders in forest uniform. Not a bad set really. Han Solo is one [...]
Anakin Skywalker with light sabre
This is the Anakin Skywalker minifig I mentioned in one of my posts from last year. I am still not convinced about the amount of detail on the face. It just doesn’t seem ‘LEGO enough’ to me. Anyway, I believe this was the first figure that used this type of hair moulding… but I could [...]
