Taking advantage of the 'real scan' technology, this figure looks exactly like Count Dooku (Christopher Lee). Probably collector oriented as it features less articulation than other figures, this one is essential for anyone wanting to complete their Star Wars collection. Accessories include his unique light saber with the bent handle as well as a hologram of his master, Darth Sidious should he need to contact him. Also included is a green lightsaber from a scene cut from the film where Dooku uses 2, yes 2, sabers to fight Yoda with. Overall a great looking figure sure to please collectors especially along with kids.

The wonderful Count Dooku is a must-have for any AOTC collector. He is hardcore in the movie and his figure is hard core too. He has a slashing motion when you squeeze his legs...i dont think this is too necessary. Older star wars toys never had or needed "actions". But anyway, this is a sick figure. I love his bent light saber and emporer hologram. The part i dont get is he comes with a green light saber. I dont recall him using one ever. Count Dooku may be hard to find, so if you see it, get it.

Christopher Lee has had a long and storied career playing such villains as Dracula, Dracula, Dracula, and, of course, Dracula. He also played Scaramanga, the man with the golden gun in THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN (he's Ian Fleming's cousin and had dibs on a movie role from Day One of the Bond Franchise). In latter years he's had an autumn career playing such corrupted heroes as Saruman The White in LORD OF THE RINGS and here, Count Dooku aka Darth Tyranus, in ATTACK OF THE CLONES and (very briefly) in REVENGE OF THE SITH (where he lost his head).

You can see why Christopher Lee was a natural for the role of Count Dooku. The character is a Count with a cape (like Dracula), carrying a one-off lightsaber with a scimitar grip (much like Scaramanga's unique 24-carat pistol), and who, with his arcane powers, has gone over to the enemy (like Saruman). Like Dracula, Scaramanga and Saruman, Dooku is a one-of-a-kind name. See? This role was just made for Mr. Lee.

Less a committed Sith than a thoroughly disaffected Jedi, Dooku works closely with Darth Sidious to destabilize the Republic, but the two are natural rivals, not true allies. Dooku definitely wants to be the Sith Lord, not the Sith Apprentice, and so Palpatine maneuvers him into a corner (literally) before having Dooku done in by his "new apprentice" Darth Vader aka Anakin Skywalker. Just to give Dooku butterflies they packaged him with a blue plastic hologram of the Emperor.

This is a really great 3.75 inch action figure that reasonably resembles Christopher Lee. The figure comes with "slashing action" (he will make a chopping motion with his lightsaber when his legs are pressed together). He comes armed with two lightsabers, one in Jedi green and one (with the scimitar grip) in Sith red (I gave the green one to the weaponless Darth Sidious figure as a trophy).

The one drawback to this figure is that THE CAPE JUST WILL NOT STAY ON without making some modifications to the figure. This seems to be a universal gripe among Dooku's reviewers and fans on this page.

Nevertheless, he's very cool, and it makes you wish Dooku'd retired from the Sith business and decided to go hang with his old teacher Yoda and the Good Side Gang. After all, he still has his old school lightsaber in the closet (but maybe the fact that they called him "Ducky" in the First Form has something to do with his career as a Denizen of Evil-type guy). Who wouldn't go Sith on you with a nickname like that?

I think this figure is really cool. I like the way he comes with two lightsabers. If u squeeze his legs he does a lightsaber slashing attack thats cool but kinda corny....he includes:

1 red lightsaber
1 green lightsaber
A darthsidious hologram
A removable cape

I think its worth the money. Dont hesitate to by it because its rare!!!!!

very good ,but it comes with a green lightsaber because there's a secne that was edited out of him fighting yoda with a blue lightsaber and its green 'cause of a misprint.

is awesome!!!!dude i cant even believe that i even have this!!this toy is so ... rare!!! this toy comes with 2 awesome light sabers for battling. he looks incredibly detailed too!! ... im really satisfied with this. this toy si VERY RARE AND I WAS VERY LUCKEY TO HAVE IT!!! IF U SEE THIS TOY, BUY IT!! U WONT REGRET IT IN 30 yrs.

Christopher Lee must be reaching 80 and he still kicks [it]! This fine action figure is a must for any fan of the man... and as I've said on other reviews of this action figure line, the detail is just short of amazing for this scale.

I had been a fan of both Star Wars and Christopher Lee for as long as I can remember. And when I found he was going to be in the next Star Wars movie, and then to have his own figure to boot...well you can't beat that.
The figure has his likeness down pat, including his height to scale with the other figures. He towers over everyone. And the curved lightsaber screams elegance and danger. He also comes with a green lightsaber and a hologram of Darth Sidious.
These figures have come a long way since the first trilogy. All are fit to proudly display.

I found this one with Hangar Duel Anakin after I criticized the Force flipping Dooku at a store I had just come from. I got both Anakin and Dooku. Dooku has amazing detail, except with the face. He looks as if he's about to cry instead of looking menacing. He has a saber slashing feature, which reminded my mom of Travolta doing "Stayin' Alive", which my family thought was funny. He comes with a cape, his awesome curved handled saber, a hologram of Sidious, and a green lightsaber. I read that a scene in the movie was cut showing Dooku trying to fend off Yoda with his and Anakin's green saber at the same time. This figure is a must have, so get him if you see him.

AWSOME TOY, CERTAINLY THE BEST OF THE SITH. IT'S EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR HANGER DUEL. IT COMES WITH A SPECIAL ACTION AND WEAPONS.
IT COMES WITH:
1 GREEN LIGHTSABER
1 RED TILTED LIGHTSABER
1 DARTH SIDEOUS HOLOGRAM
AND SLASHING FORCE ATTACK
