A Great Piece

This a truly great addition to any Star Wars fan's collection. Not only do you get a fascinating book that gives an in depth look at the Bounty Hunters of the Star Wars universe but you also get the only large size figure of Aurra Sing that there is on the market. Highly recommended for any one interested in Star Wars Bounty Hunters.

pretty good

i'm a 12 year old girl-and i just got into aurra sing and those 3 seconds on the screen type characters.anyway,the book is pretty good-i liked learning about aurra sing.the doll is pretty cool-i like the guns and the outfit and the hair and stuff.i don't like the antennia though.it sticks out to much.in the aurra sing comics it's not as bad!the 2 black guns don't fit in her hands good.the strap for the long gun goes over her well though.i wish she came with her lightsaber!ohh well.i still like the doll and book.buy this book and doll anyway!

Perhaps too Harshly Judged

When the Aurra Sing: Dawn of the Bounty Hunters set was first released at an eye-popping seventy-five dollars, I, like many others, were a bit put off by it. With the number of unbought items because of this price, however, it became easier and easier to find this piece at an agreeable price. That is good, too, because it has a multitude of redeemable qualities. 1) The 12" figure itself isn't bad crafted at all. The facial features look accurate, the hands and lengthened fingers are well sculpted, and the hair, with a mixture of beaded strands finishing off the effect, make the body design look quite good. It is flawed in a few ways, with a bit of an oversized head (not too badly, but still, at the wrong angle, large), few points of articulation, and the antenna in her head bending a bit too easily and staying that way. Still, the articulation in 12' figures has never been the best, so this is overlookable. Personally, I don't want McFarlane overunfluencing yet another market. 2) The outfitting actually looks good, too, with removable pieces ranging from shells, guns, a weapons belt, boots, and a vest with varied attachments. This is an improvement over many recent releases because it gives more depth to the figure.3) Her weapon looks quite good and slings over her back well. The look mimics the movie/photos nicely. 4) The book itself, despite some flaws in the bounty hunter storylines, does have a bit of detail to it. An experienced person might even learn a couple of facts, plus there's a listing of many and many a bounty hunter item that's been released over the years.5) The box itself is actually interesting, depicting the past and the present hunters in all their glory. I liked it because it holds the book and the figure easily, allowing you access without destroying the packaging.Its a piece that will surprise you, actually, once you have it and get to sit around in admiration. I would highly recommend it.

A collector must have

I thought this figure was great, my favorite of the three Star Wars Masterpiece sets. More articulation would have been nice, but the clothing and accessories were exceptional. The book is up to par, with a number of photos that I have not seen anywhere else.

Great Book - Nice Figure for Collectors

A great addition to the Masterpiece line of books. Very inciteful about the mysterious bounty hunter only barely seen in The Phantom Menace. A must have for the serious Star Wars collector.
