So far, this is the preview I have liked the least. This Ulic guy has insane HP and excellent Defense and attack bonus, but with double attack and few Force stuff, a beast like Vader Jedi Hunter makes short work of him! Heck, even Yoda or Palpatine Sith Lord probably beat the crap outta him! Whaddaya think? His life-saver is probably the Bodyguard commander effect, though I really dont know what Mandalorians are...

There's a joke I'd like to make about the way Ulic is holding his lightsaber.

Mandalorians are from Mandalor [:D]

Boba Fett wears mandalorian armor. Mandalorians don't really show up much in the movies, but they're prominent in Knights of the Old Republic/KOTOR II.

Sith with the bizarre name has an unfortunately manical look on his face (and an equally unfortunate phallic grip on his lightsaber). Looks like he's holding a yellow baseball bat.

Bizarre name: check
Maniacal look: check
"phallic grip": Unless that's a REALLY long lightsaber (don't go there), it only looks "phallic" due to the flattening effect of a 2D picture - that is, I'm fairly sure that the saber is much more parallel with his body (going to his right). The picture certainly is unfortunate, though.

It's like he's trying to imitate the hill giant.

Okay...someone at WotC has a really warped sense of humor. Let's face it, the lightsaber has carried that whole Freudian phallic imagery for the longest time, spawning numerous jokes long before Spaceballs got a hold of it. But this? Lord... If the sexually suggestive grip he's got isn't enough, his facial expression - the bulging bug-eyes and the slackjawed gape - really pushes it over the edge. He's ten seconds away from saying, "I need a cigarette..."

Up to now, I've only collected minis from the original trilogy. However, I have the Tales of the Jedi comics series, and I'm powerful tempted to start getting these guys as well.

Love the Hoth gunner - just wish I could afford an AT-AT!

I was thinking more of Sloth from the Goonies. Look at him. I can here it now "Heeeeyyyy you jeeddiiii!"

Also, kick arse that there are going to be mandalorians in COTF.

Another Dark Lord of the Sith without a yellow lightsaber. When will these guys learn, you need a red lightsaber to rule the galaxy.[:p]

Very nice that we are getting some Mandalorians in this set.

Pathetic Earthlings. Hurling your bodies out into the void - without the slightest inkling of who or what is out here. If you had known anything about the true nature of the universe - anything at all - you would have hidden from it in terror.

Nice. I've always liked the write-up about Ulic Qel-Droma in the RPG book.

Over 270 successful online DDM trades.

But on the bright side, a lot of people are dismissing it's combat capabilities so it may end up an inexpensive rare...
