Overview
This third exclusive Star Wars Masterpiece Edition is an awesome tribute to Star Wars' bounty hunters and to the most beautiful and cunning of them all, Aurra Sing-the first to scorch the screen in the cinematic chronology. By far the most popular subculture among core fans, the bounty hunters have proven themselves a necessity in the Star Wars universe. They are highly skilled professionals-hired by everyone from Darth Vader to Jabba the Hutt-and valued for their ability to carry out the most dangerous assignments. The Aurra Sing collector figure captures the fierce independence of the female bounty hunter with a sleek head antenna, extra-long fingers, two holstered pistols, and a modified blaster rifle. This exclusive 12-inch collector figure, the first Aurra Sing figure ever, is available only as part of this Masterpiece Edition. The richly illustrated full-color book details the many shrewd exploits and misdeeds of such other bounty hunters as Dengar, Bossk, Zuckuss, 4-LOM, IG-88, and, of course, the relentless Boba Fett, with a special focus on their hunt for the smuggler-cum-Rebel officer Han Solo. With more than one hundred color photographs, previously unpublished conceptual sketches, exclusive interviews, and a comprehensive list of Bounty Hunter collectible merchandise, this is the ultimate tribute to Star Wars' notorious anti-heroes. Josh Ling has written several collectors' lists for the Topps Star Wars Galaxy Collector magazine and most recently contributed to Anakin Skywalker: The Story of Darth Vader. He lives in Northern California.Addition:book and doll set

Bookseller ReviewsAurra Sing's chalk-white skin and fierce visage doesn't bode well for her opponents. Once part of the Jedi order herself, this savage bounty hunter hunts Jedi Knights with a remorselessness that can seem quite personal. The book that accompanies this fierce action figure has the force of Sing's own blaster gun. It traces Aurra Sing from her childhood in a Nar Shaddaa slum to her risky career as a free-ranging gun for hire. This Masterpiece Edition also advertises the exploits of other fearless bounty hunter, such as Dengar, Zuckuss, 4-LOM, IG-88, and, of course, the never-blinking Boba Fett. Profusely illustrated fantasy fodder.Book Details
