Action Figure #461: Star Wars The Black Series Mace Windu

  I've had it up to here with the motherlovin' light sabers on this motherlovin' plane!

 Among the supporting cast of the prequel SW movies, few characters were as iconic as Mace Windu and his purple lightsaber. While purple sabers had been mentioned in SW literature before, Mace Windu was the first character to use a purple blade on screen!
 And this guy is awesome. Firstly, they nailed Samuel L. Jackson's likeness perfectly, so he looks exactly like the actor, and the Jedi robes are beautifully sculpted. He comes with a soft-goods coat that really adds to the overall vagrant look of the figure.
 While he looks like my old Anakin figure, Mace has an update sculpt, for he has butterfly joints beneath the rubber torso, allowing him to wield his lightsaber on both hands much more easily. As with other older SW figures, he has single jointed elbows but double jointed knees, his torso laying on a ball joint. He is as tall as Bucky Cap. 
 This is one of the finest Black Series action figures I own. He looks incredible, and he is so much fun to play with.
