Before Kathleen Kennedy ruined Star Wars, we had...
Grand Admiral Thrawn! Thrawn is one of the reasons Disney's purchase of Star Wars sucked so much. Not only did they give us a sorry excuse for a sequel trilogy, but they decided to make anything but the six original movies and some of the tv shows not canon, which cost us our beloved Thrawn. At least for a while, since he has made it back into canon, albeit in a different fashion. So last month I came across Ahsoka's Thrawn action figure, and lamented how he was the only figure we had of Thrawn... only to discover that they had made a comic-accurate(Sure, sure, he comes from books, but his iconic look was cemented by the comics) Thrawn years ago! A Thrawn that didn't look like Elon Musk? I needed him!
And he looks almost
straight out of the comic books. He has a very stern expression on his face, as well as a very square-shapedhead, which is
exactly what I wanted. They also picked the exact sky-blue skin tone for him. The only thing I would change is make his red eyes more vibrant, since they are a bit small and they get lost in their black outline. He comes with a blaster. It would've been neat if he included his Ysalirami, or
whatever they were called, the lizards that disrupted the Force.
Articulation is just like with any other older Black Series figure, single-jointed elbows and double-jointed knees, with a ball-joint on his waist. Thrawn can land any pose you'd need him to with ease, and he is as tall as Bucky Cap!
Honestly, this Thrawn figure is everything I had wanted, and they got absolutely everything right.
