Summary: Asajj Ventress Unleashed!
Date: 2005-12-30 -
Comment: From the barbaric and bloody world of Rattatak comes Asajj Ventress, a young, fierce, merciless female disciple of Count Dooku with aspirations of becoming a Sith warrior that will never be realized. A fateful encounter with young Anakin Skywalker on Yavin 4 sealed her doom and helped to perpetuate his. This beautifully crafted figure from Hasbro's "Star Wars Unleashed" line makes an excellent display piece for the serious Star Wars fan. Frozen in a pose taken from the heat of her final battle, red-bladed lighsabers in hand (gifts from Count Dooku himself) and a cloud of dust behind her, the ferocity of this dark warrior is magnificently captured. Asajj is depicted here in a realistic style to better match the "Unleashed" figures that have come before her rather than with the smooth and stylized look of the "Clone Wars" animated series in which she made her saga debut. The plastic sculpture comes in two parts, the base and the figure itself, which connect by way of short metal pegs in the feet and holes in the base. While it can be tricky to get the back foot into its hole, the figure manages to stay in position quite well nevertheless. The result is an elegantly gruesome piece of affordable, mass-produced Star Wars art that any true fan should appreciate. The lightsaber blades are removable for a different look if desired, which may be helpful if your figure's blades are not straight enough for your scrupulous eye.

Summary: Asajj Ventress- don't mess with 'er.
Date: 2005-11-19 -
Comment: Let me get this out of the way first- while many Star Wars fanboys have always had a thing for Princess Leia when she's Jabba's prisoner (and for good reason), she pales to Asajj Ventress for me. Maybe it's just because I've always had a thing for women with shaved heads, but when I saw Asajj in the first volume of the Clone Wars animated series, I knew I had a new favorite Jedi/Sith. And it still pains me to know that she was booted out of Episode II in favor of Count Dooku for the main antagonist/lightsaber showdown. Fortunately, she got a nice Clone Wars figure, an amazing statuette that I'm still trying to find, and this awesome Unleashed figure. It's about time one of the "minor" characters gets the works.
While I don't care much for the majority of the Unleashed line (c'mon, does Darth Vader without his helmet look like a threat to you?), a few figures have made me want to start making room to display them all. None as much as Asajj Ventress here. She looks like she's about to make a killing blow- intensity in her eyes, a clenched jaw, two Sith lightsabers drawn, and dashing toward her target. Yes, she's one tough [synonym for "female dog"]. It's a shame to know that Mannequin Skywalker took her out in the series, though I like to think she lived in the end, especially with that tragic past. The detail's some of the best I've seen from this line of figures, and you can see every bit of tape on her torso, the folds in her battle dress, and the wrinkles in her forehead from the expression on her face. The paint job makes her look a bit dirty, which hints that this is from her fight with Anakin. That, and the jungle base she's on. She has a peg in each foot that you connect to the base, and truth be told, I could only get her left foot in the slot. The back one is a little short to make it into the slot, but it doesn't matter since it's concealed by dust on the base. Another minor detail that should be noted, though it may not apply in every case, is that the lightsaber blades (which are removable) were a little bent at the tips. I don't know if I should attempt at fixing them myself or emailing the company that makes the figure, but it's kind of annoying to have an awesome character with slightly flawed lightsaber blades. It's nothing too noticeable though, and no one that sees it will point it out unless they look for it, or are just a bastard like me on details like that. Either way, if you're thinking about buying this figure because you saw it in a store, you should inspect the lightsaber blades beforehand in case one may be broken.
Recently, I heard that the Unleashed line has been canceled, which is a shame since the cool ones have just now been coming out. I don't know if this is true or not, but it's an even bigger reason to pick up this figure. The price is good, the quality's great, and you're getting quite possibly the best Sith fighter to date. But again, you may want to display it in a high area safe from young children and pets, as lightsabers have always been an easily breakable item in the Star Wars toys.
