About the best dang Star Wars set I've bought in a while. While a lot of people clamor for the clones and Imps, I like going for the Jedi and Sith figures, and this set rocks! I have no idea who Skorr is, but he makes for an awesome figure. I'll have to read the comic in a little bit to bone up on his character. He's got articulation that's about par for the Jedi/Sith figures nowadays. This version of Ventress is about the best yet. Nice "realistic" sculpt and paint; awesome light sabers, and both she and Skorr sport really light weight soft goods parts. They feel lighter than the usual softgoods parts. The only problem with Ventress is that she has no knee articulation, and she's impossible to stand. Honestly, I don't know how they expect her to as no matter how you position the legs, aside from making her lean way back like in my pic, they just won't line up to allow her to stand flat.

I've seen this pack and I want to pick it up too. Really a shame about Asajj, though. No knees = me :cry:

Exactly why I picked up the set. He just looked so badass. Heck, his armor has a samurai look to it(and the shoulder pads are hinged), so if someone wanted to grab this set for custom fodder, the parts could be spread among a couple of customs.

I was also upset about the lack of knee articulation. So, I went and took that blue Jedi chicks legs and slapped them on instead. Now she is knee kicking ready. I took the head off Tol and put it on a Destro body for "Destro Unmasked"...

Hasbro needs to understand...ALL Jedi and Sith need knees!

This set does indeed rock. This is the first Ventress I've seen that looked good enough to purchase. I actually don't have any issues with her standing. Her "skirt(s)" seem to help balance her if they're positioned a certain way. The crooked lightsabers bother me though.

Skorr was pretty much the reason I bought the pack since there can never be too many Sith and he intrigued me.

I pretty much stick to Jedi and Sith now as well. If you don't have him, another cool figure is Rahm Kota. I dig his Samurai look. Quinlan Vos adds a nice variation to the Jedi too.

I picked up the Vos pack this morning. While not as impressive as Skorr, he's still a pretty cool figure. But damn those static knees! Knees, and a mid torso joint would have kicked this one up a couple of notches. The reason I never picked this set up was because of the bounty hunter figure. It looked pretty lame in the pack, but upon opening it and playing around with it for a while, he's actually a pretty nice figure. He's going on the bounty hunter shelf.
