Grand Admiral Thrawn

My favorite character of ALL TIME: Grand Admiral Thrawn. He was first published in 1992 by Timothy Zahn. Thrawn is in charge of the Imperial remnants five years after the Battle of Endor. He is the only alien to EVER ascend to the rank of Grand Admiral. Thrawn is a member of the Chiss species characterized by their blue skin and red eyes. He is a brillent tactition who gains insight to his enemy by studying their species' art. Now...on to the review!

I'm pretty happy with the figure. They got the skin right, not to dark not to light. The eyes are nice and red and most importently: pupilless! The hair is cool because the widow's peek isn't centered and the hair recession is different on either side. The uniform is a nice white plastic and the rank insignia is well painted and the colors are in the right places. The uniform is realistically wrinkled and the belt buckle is centered. His feet are in proportion and the boots are a nice glossy black. He isn't wearing gloves, though. In the comics and maybe the books (can't remember) he's always wearing white gloves. On his face, he's missing eyebrows! This is big as Thrawn is alwaying cocking an eyebrow. You could drawn them on with a sharpie, though they tend to rub off. The joints of his boots are unpainted, though this can be fixed with some paint of a sharpie.The Grand Admiral has eight articulation points. His hips are restricted because of his uniform top so he can sit down or crouch.

He comes with one accesory: a ysalamiri. The ysalamiri is a creature from Mykr who creates a bubble in which the force is surpressed. It can wrap around either his neck or his leg. It is a nice orange plastic with black eyes.Thrawn uses it against Joruus C'boath. The creature has two legs and a tail that keep it secure on Thrawn. It doesn't serve much purpose but it is a nice aesthetic.

I really like Thrawn as a character and even more so now that I can see him.
