5 comments about Star Wars Bounty Hunter: Zuckuss 12" Action Figure.

1. Zuckuss, another lovely member of the six ex-bounty hunter's guild members gathered in The Empire Strikes Back, takes the redemption-offering, fund collecting stage in this new release. He's actually a really impressive looking figure, too, one that, when viewed from the front, is undeniably Zuckuss and is truly needed by anyone who loves their cinematic, bounty-seeking companions.

   While shopping I happened across him quite by accident, the bland boxing attempt almost disguising this coveted figure amidst the throes of other newly released toys - as seen in many and many an overlooking nightmare since then. Still, when my eyes happened upon that face looking out through that plastic glaze, his nonmistakeable eyes meeting mine, I knew I had to have him. Out of the box I was delighted, too, only finding flaws in the way the back of the head and his coat meet and with the little chicken legs he has underneath that cover. Yes, the head looks more like a mask than anything when viewed at the wrong angle, and his legs are little bland stick-digits under his coat. Still, I rarely look at him from the top and I only curiously looked under his coat once(it covers him really well), so I was thrilled, the colorations meshing proportionately with his back/breather (not really removable) in a way that made my other figures envious and me forget any objections. He also comes with a weapon as well, something that he can hold quite well - a feat in and of itself - and he even stands up when the price is right.

   This is something most bounty hunter enthusiasts will like, plus its something for anyone wanting to pit the forces of the corruptible against the Rebel menace gathering against a poor, unfortunate, perhaps freedom-crushing empire.




2. I bought this figure just because I loved the bounty hunters when I was a kid. But in the original star wars, esb and rotj, this figure was refered to as 4LOM. Even the 4" figure was refered to as 4LOM, But this is refered to by another bounty hunters name, Zuckuss.
   Is this a fo-pa on hasbro's part? If it is, then this is a unique item to collect.
   Hey hasbro, if you make 12" figures this good, you should make another Boba Fett! I WANT A BOBA FETT!!! Good figure, buy it and leave it in the box, or buy two, play with one, and display the other! Kinda hard not to take him out an play with him!



3. I liked this figure. I have a large collection of 12" SW figures and this one, I felt, came out well. All the joints are tight and the likeness is very good. I was glad to see that they went the extra mile and made a shorter body to be more authentic instead of slapping a head on a standard body.



4. Bounty hunter fans rejoice! Now you can display all of the bounty hunters featured in the Empire Strikes Back. Zuckuss may have been one of the lesser known bounty hunters, but this 12ý action figure is one of the best Star Wars figures ever produced. The detailed sculpting and outfit/accessories really stand out here. It also has good posability and holds his gun well. I still think Bossk is the best of the 12ý bounty hunter figures, but Zuckuss is a close second.



5. This is the only 12 inch I've bought in a couple of years,He doesn't really hunt any bounty though,all he does is sit by my computer and scare 2 year olds.

5 comments about The Golden Age of DC Comics: 365 Days.

1. I agree that as you first glance at this book it seems like a calender. It's a hefty book that has some charm in its views of days gone by. I bought it for myself and wasn't dissapointed in its focus. Les Daniels always has an interesting view and smartly entertains as you go page to page. If one wants a more detailed overview of the subject there are many fine books to seek out. This one is more for a night when one doesn't want to read but rather to remember.Its well bound, excellently to the point concerning its subject. If one wants full covers go to the Photo Journal guide to comics by Gerber. It doesn't have everything but like this book is a visual companion.



2. While the idea of making a book with 365 days may seem odd, this book is quite special. It can be read as a coffee table book. But it's really a remarkably well-informed collection of images from comics. The commentaries sometimes run for a paragraph, giving background on the artists or comic, and sometimes just a few lines, as an informative caption. What Daniels, Kidd, and Spear have done is create a unique compendium of images from DC comics that function like a quirky and very intelligent collection of often forgotten cultural icons. This book is a very worthwhile addition to a library, whether you're a comics freak, a student of popular culture, art history, or you just like beautiful books. The wealth of images is incredible. It can't be appreciated at one sitting.



3. This book is really fun to look at for those who love comic books. It showcases the art work in a fun new format. All the art used, is classic illustrations, and is a great way to look at classic art.



4. dissapointed with this one , I expected to see some really quality illustrations, instead it looks like someone has got some really old comics and scanned them into this book right down to the newspaper style dots, I guess I didnt read the description properly before I bought this book, to me it is really a breif historical account in pictures using old comics, I dont know it might appeal to the purist comic freak, but I didn't like it. BEtter off relegated to being a paper weight or door stop nothing ground breaking in this, a boring book.



5. Set up as 365-day calendar, this small coffee table book is anything but. What it is is a wonderful collection of comic book covers and pages from the 1930s through the 1950s. Artfully photographed and cropped by Geoff Spear, each of the 365 pages are a visual treat from the DC Comics universe.
   
   Graphic designer Chip Kidd has set up the book not as a stuffy museum piece of days past, but as an explosion of Americana. Vibrant and alive, the pages burst with excitement and fun. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, and others are alive again as our parents or grandparents first saw them. It is quickly obvious why these characters inspired generation after generation, and are still alive and well today in the American consciousness.
   
   Les Daniels does a superb job, as always, of summing up a character's history and importance, but has fun at the same time. Wit and sly commentary on Green Lantern, Aquaman, and Robin the Boy Wonder line these pages. If there is a `comics historian' out there, Daniels is it. And never is it more obvious than in this book, where he comments not only the big characters such as Superman and Batman, but on the smaller characters, the ones long-forgotten, and the myriad of villains.
   
   And for one more bit of fun, the back cover of the book is a display of the ubiquitous advertisements of the day. Everything from X-ray glasses to whoopee cushions, all for just pennies!
   
   Recent movies of Superman, Batman, and the like show that these characters of a by-gone era (and books like this) are still a constant gift and joy in America today. The Golden Age of DC Comics - 365 Days is a delight.
