Don't let her fall to the dark side!
I'll be honest, I never really finished KOTOR, but I remember I loved it a lot... it's just that I got to a point where I didn't know just what I was supposed to do. While most people's favorite party member was the Killer Robot, mine was
Bastila Shan. The moment I found out she had an action figure made I just had to get her.
I didn't really
remember much about her looks except that she had an orange outfit, so I
looked up pictures of her. Something felt off about her, until I realized what... for whatever reason, the design is
mirrored. Her hair is combed to the other side, and the pouches on her belt go on the other side as well. I don't know what happened when they were designing her, and it's not like it's a deal breaker because she does STILL look like Bastila, only flipped, but it's such a
weird quirk! There seems to be various takes on the maroon part of her outfit, some more intricate than others, but they went for the simpler design available, which...
fair enough. Her only accessory is her double ended saber. Originally, I was going to switch the blades with Cal's blue blades, but his two sabers are of different girth and they don't fit too well on Bastila's. Oh well, I still love yellow saber-ed Jedi!
She has double jointed legs and swivels on her thighs and boots, but single jointed elbows. Her waist is on a ball joint, and she has butterfly joints. She is fun to pose with. Her pauldrons are made of soft plastic, and they don't get in the way of her arms,
but, it seems it's a bit too frail because they are already showing stress marks when they go up. She is quite shorter than Bucky Cap.
Honestly, she is pretty darn great. I don't know how I feel about her design being flipped, but I won't lose any sleep over it. All in all, she is a pretty fun figure.
