|  THis is the Mustafarian Soldier from bounty Hunters, the new Star Wars miniatures set. See anything odd about the paint job? To put it in perspective, look at the color scheme on the action figure (also made by Hasbro)
Review
(Yes, I did write that review.) What the HECK went wrong with the miniature? I ave three of them, and they're all the same - mono-brown with dingy metal for the staff. What happened? So yeah, the Frost Dwarf looks pretty good now. | |

| Wow....That really bad..They didnt even paint the eyes. Its a dumb mini anyway. The head is turned to obviously make it easier to sculpt and mold...and it shows. Plus I think you get to see Mustafarians on Mustafar in the movie for less than 2 seconds anyway. | |

| Doesn't matter. Remember the Utapauan Guard? The only time you see THEM in the movie is one long-distance shot, and they look more like specks. That miniature actually looks good, though. The Mustafarian is awful - a blue-gold creature painted flat brown.
The one riding the Lava Flea isn't that good, either - mine has a random (off-center) splatter of mustard yellow on the face, and that's it. | |

| He's a team player and took one for the team. With the limited number of paint steps available total it's very likely that one or more will have less paint.Â
If the other commons look better it is made possible by another figure looking worse. I'm happy with the choice since I didn't know what he was supposed to look like.
The other commons are very nice. | |

| No, I wouldn't say the other commons are all that nice. Compare the new Gamorrean with the one from Rebel Storm, for example.
The Mustafarian could have used *one* more color, or at least gold instead of brown. | |

| | Yeah, I like Mustafarians. That's probably pretty obvious from this... but the paint job really, really bothers me. I think you guys know how rare it is for me to let missing paint steps bug me on a mini, right? | |

| I got one of them, they do indeed suck.
My rare was Boshek though, whose claim to fame is being the guy that pointed Chewbacca out to Obi-Wan?
Wow, what a waste of a slot. | |

Yup, that's why I've re-named Bounty hunters to Cantina Bit-Players. | |

| I have a strong fondness for the little critters. They look like they stepped out of that old animated Fantasy movie Wizards.

| | But as some Rares are more rare than others, the commons have the same situation, for example the old republic trooper is better painted that the R4, things like that should happen, if they choose the mustafarian was to save some paint XD | |

I expected that, if it was going to be on-ecolor, it would at least be the RIGHT color. This is like making a Yoda piece that's gray or blue. | |
