It seemed like she was one of the lone leftovers you could find in that rare event you did find a new wave of figures. Without a doubt the portrait on the package does a great job of capturing her beauty, and needless to say I think Hasbro did a great job of immortalizing her in plastic in their first attempt. What did they do to make the Ace of the Rogue Shadow one fine Imperial Pilot? I'll do my best to cover the numerous highlights.

Needless to say they did a great job of making it the perfect size. While I can't say I'm too impressed with the pulled-back, man-chick hair do she's sporting. Overall I really think they did a fantastic job on the facial features. If they missed anywhere, it might be the hair color being too light. I seem to remember it being darker in some of the cut-scenes. Which could also bring up the point of why they made this outfit or version of her first? I think I'd have rather seen her in the dirty t-shirt or pilot gear we saw her in most of the time aboard the Rogue Shadow.

As they spared no expense with movable wrists, feet, knees, elbows, waist  and neck. I especially like the added detail the put on the gloves. While I do think the blaster is essential for just about any Star Wars figure, I might have liked to seen a couple of repair tools or accessories packed in. It seems like they could have added a little bit more but I guess that is the price you pay for a near perfect figure. The articulation probably messed up their spending until 2010, poor Hasbro! Needless to say I wish they could make them all this sweet, we deserve it.

Spice - I flat out enjoy it when they give us something all-new. With the figures costing more and more money, we deserve a superior product every time out. I can live with the hair color being a few shades off as long as everything else is as good as it is supposed to be. Thumbs up for the lovely lady!
