Product Description

Three years after Death Star's destruction, the Rebel Alliance continues the fight against the Imperial forces and suffers a defeat on the ice planet Hoth. Luke Skywalker journeys to the planet Dagobah to train with Jedi Master Yoda, who has lived in hiding since the fall of the Republic. In an attempt to convert Luke to the dark side, the evil Sith Lord, Darth Vader, lures Luke into a trap in the Cloud City of Bespin. In the midst of a fierce lightsaber duel with Vader, Luke faces the startling revelation that the Sith Lord is in fact his father, Anakin Skywalker.

Trained as an Imperial assassin, Dengar underwent brain surgery that made him a nearly unfeeling killer. Now independent as a bounty hunter, he has claimed 23 bounties and carries a personal grudge against Han Solo for severe head injuries he suffered while racing him through the crystal swamps of Agrilat long ago. Recreate these classic sci-fi moments with this fully poseable 12" action figure. Comes equipped with an authentically styled outfit and blaster rifle.

This review is from: Star Wars Bounty Hunter: Dengar 12" Action Figure (Toy)

Dengar, best remembered for his stance with the other five members of the defunct bounty hunter's guild in The Empire Strikes Back, is back with a vengeance, looking his facially marred best when huddled together with members of his proud Han-hunting procession. The 12" figure isn't bad, either, with a few merits that are great and a couple of disappointing features to mingle in to the overall package.

First, I have to deal with the issue of packaging, one I'm not really happy with when I see any newly released "older" figures. Its not that I really worry about the boxes, per say, but I think that the setup does influences choices, and if I weren't a bounty hunter fan then I might have passed up this blandly boxed Empire recreation. Next, there's the issue of the head and the hands, both of which don't really seem go with the figure at first. In fact, when I glanced that plastic molded head staring out at me from an otherwise cloth-ridden body, I was saddened. I had wished for it to be wrapped and not simply fitted to a clothed body, but neither the hands or the head are like that. Still, I do have to say that the figure is really a nice addition to my collection, looking better out of the box than in it. Here you have nothing overly surprising, for he's your atypical new release 12' model; with snapped-on armor that you never want to attempt to liberate adjoined with white cloth underneath, plastic boots anchoring a body that sometimes likes to stand, a limited flexibility, and a nice replica weapon/backpack (a snap-on) thrown in for good measure. The coloration is done well, plus the costuming was more than I had hoped for.

Basically, I would say that this is a worthy buy because I'm a bounty hunter fan. Still, its something worth checking into even if you like simply like the movie, giving you something to fixate on freezing anyone you meet in carbonite with.

I would say he is one of the better Star Wars dolls. His face sculpt is good, and his costum is pretty top-notch. His costum is thick to make him look like the fat, and the body that Hasbro used is the basic G.I. Joe body.

This review is from: Star Wars Bounty Hunter: Dengar 12" Action Figure (Toy)

Despite their extremely brief screen time in the Empire Strikes Back, the bounty hunters Vader assembled are some of the Star Wars universe's most fascinating characters, and were a welcome addition to Kenner's 12" Action Collection line.

Pros - Dengar is one of the better looking figures in the series. He's got a pretty detailed outfit/armor, and his pack and rifle are cool accessories.

Cons - The head sculpt was good, but cloth headgear - even if it was glued onto the head - would have made it much more impressive.

If you're collecting the bounty hunters, this Dengar figure is a must-have. It's one of the highlights of the `90s 12" Star Wars figure collection.
