LEGO Star Wars Buildable Figure 75112, General Grievous.

75112 General Grievous.

General Grievous
Grievous, born as Qymaen jai Sheelal, was the cyborg Supreme Commander of the Droid Army of the Confederacy of Independent Systems for most of the Clone Wars. Grievous was originally a Kaleesh from the planet Kalee, where he lived his early life. During the Kaleesh conflict against the Huk, Qymaen jai Sheelal quickly learned the art of war, specializing in a slugthrower rifle. Quickly amassing a great number of Huk kills, he became a demigod among his people. He eventually met the female Kaleesh Ronderu lij Kummar, a master with the sword. The two became very close before her death at the hands of the Huk. Heartbroken, Qymaen jai Sheelal renamed himself Grievous and turned all his anger and grief toward the Huk. Aided by his elite, he forced the Huk off Kalee and then swarmed their homeworld, conquering the Huk. The Huk turned to the Galactic Republic for help, and the Kaleesh were forced back to their own world by the Jedi and left to starve.



A really huge figure.

Desperate to help his people, Grievous took a job as an enforcer with the InterGalactic Banking Clan. However, after learning that the Huk had attacked Kalee, he headed home to gain vengeance. IGBC Chairman San Hill, after consulting with his ally, Separatist Head of State Count Dooku, arranged for a bomb to be placed on Grievous' shuttle, Martyr. The Kaleesh was critically injured, but lived, and Hill arranged for the final stage of his plan. Grievous was reconstructed as a cyborg and was presented to Dooku as a potential weapon to be used in the upcoming war that the count had planned against the Republic.

Not bad for get in collections.

After being made Supreme Commander, Grievous proceeded to wreak havoc on the Republic for the three-year–span of the Clone Wars. The general was trained in the art of lightsaber combat by Dooku himself, who was also a Sith Lord. Grievous was a quick study and eventually came to be recognized as one of the most skilled duelists in the galaxy. Aided by his IG-100 MagnaGuards, Grievous killed many Jedi, and led the Confederacy to victory in many battles. Quickly gaining a reputation as a savage, merciless brute as well as a tactical genius, the cyborg struck fear into the hearts of many with his flagship, the ion cannon–armed Malevolence, as well as Operation Durge's Lance, a massive strike at the Core Worlds.

This buildable figure is huge, but...

...but most of the back is hollow.

In 19 BBY, Grievous led the Confederate Navy in the Battle of Coruscant, an attack on the Republic's capital. Grievous killed several Jedi and took Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, leader of the Republic, hostage. However, before the general's flagship, Invisible Hand, could jump to hyperspace, the Republic Navy arrived, and the Chancellor was freed by Jedi Knights Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, the latter of whom was also successful in killing Dooku. Grievous fled to the Outer Rim world of Utapau and attempted to regain control of the war, though the Confederacy had been dealt a great blow with the loss of Dooku. Grievous was killed shortly after in the Battle of Utapau by Kenobi, and the Confederacy fell soon after. At some point after Grievous's death, his body was used to create the droid warrior N-K Necrosis, who considered himself to be the reincarnation of Grievous. However, the droid was killed shortly after his creation by several spacers.

Scale is good.

360 angles GIF.

Stand up height is around 11 inches.

Close up on the head.

Chest plate printing, it will look better if this plate is bigger.

Not completed back, need to add more extra parts for this area.

The back of the legs is totally hollow.

Ball joint head, can freely turn any direction you like.

Arms articulations is limited some area because of double skeletons design.

The legs articulations is better than previous Hero Factory design.

Chicken mode. Fine articulations to do such pose.

Double skeletons arm... (if the armor plate is smaller, it makes more accurate to original one)

...can separate like in the series. (have to remove the technic parts to look better)

Four arms cyborg!

Lightsaber included.

Close up.

Of course with four sets two kind of colors.

"My master trains me well on swordsman skills."

"Meet your destiny, Jedi!"

Parts added, looks way more better.

And making a new cape for the general.

"Cough! Cough! Keep the ion cannon online, we can't risk Republic scumbag get in the planet!"

Side.

Rear. (no printing)

"Get the Jedi!"

"I will end your life without mercy, Jedi young lings!"

Making a force staff for Grievous with technic parts.

"Die, clone!"

Making another weapon for Grievous, his blaster.

Really nice to make some weapons, feel like it is completed.

Compare to other buildable figure.

Compare to Grievous minifigure. (so small and cute...)

"Dare to confront me!? Taste my sabers!"

"You are next, bounty hunter!"

LEGO Star Wars Buildable Figure 75107, Jango Fett. (with comic)

75107 Buildable Figure Jango Fett.


LEGO.com description:
Battle the Jedi with posable Jango Fett! 
Battle the Jedi with Jango Fett as you’ve never seen him before! This amazing buildable LEGO version of the galaxy’s greatest bounty hunter is built for intense play and has lots of great details, including fully posable limbs, a jetpack with flick missile shooting function, 2 buildable blaster pistols, holsters and detailed, metal-look armour. It’s time to arm up and go hunt some Jedi!

Jango Fett 
was a renowned Mandalorian bounty hunter, assassin, mercenary, and the "father" of Boba Fett, a genetic clone of his, whom he raised as a son. A Human from Concord Dawn, Fett was adopted by Mandalorian warriors following the murder of his parents and the disappearance of his older sister Arla in 58 BBY. Years later, he would go on to lead them through much of the Mandalorian Civil War as Mandalore. After being imprisoned by Jedi, Fett was responsible for destroying the Death Watch, a Mandalorian group who killed Fett's mentor, Jaster Mereel.

Following the conclusion of that conflict, Fett became a bounty hunter, quickly establishing a reputation as being one of the best in the galaxy. Later on, Fett agreed to serve as the genetic template for the clones that would form the bulk of the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. When Master Obi-Wan Kenobi located Jango and Boba on Kamino, Fett fled to join Count Dooku. Though struck down by Mace Windu in combat, Fett's legacy would live on through his son Boba, as well as his cloned brethren, who would have a profound impact on galactic history.

Shiny silver printing represent his Mandalorian armor, real nice.

Armor pieces same like other Buildable figs.

Still a lots of hollow area behind it.

Maybe someday will put some parts on the hollow area.
