Bastila Shan Action Figure Now Available
Back in February, we reported on the upcoming Bastila Shan action figure from Hasbro. Well, I hope you’ve been saving your pennies because you now have the opportunity to take her home with you! But first, a little history.
If you’ve played Knights of The Old Republic (and you should have,) you know that Bastila Shan was a central character in the story. Shan and Revan had a “thing” which ultimately produced at least one known descendent in Jedi Grand Master Satele Shan, who appears as a main character in Star Wars: The Old Republic. In fact, some of the Aurebesh on her biography page translates to “blood of Revan.”
Anyway, the figure looks fairly detailed, and includes Shan’s trademark double-bladed yellow lightsaber, with both “on” and “off” pieces included!
Amazon has the figure in stock, but is charging a hefty premium as it’s sold through one of their resellers. It might be possible to find it at regular retail prices somewhere, but collectors will snap these up in a hurry!
One other tidbit to leave you with. Hasbro teased back in 2010 that even more characters from The Old Republic were coming in 2012. Do we see a Darth Malgus perhaps? Maybe Blizz, the Jawa companion? Which TOR character would you like to see in action figure form?

Good lord! Is it me, or does Kenner seem to be getting worse and worse with these designs? Anything they’ve made lately that’s not alien or robotic (or a clone/storm trooper) just looks HIDEOUS. I know there’s only so much detail you can achieve in that size of a figure, but I’ve seen other companies make figures that size that looked SO much better. For the price they’re expecting, we should get better quality.
Lol 35$ for a silly toy…
That’s really high, I don’t know if I would even pay that much for a Mcfarlane toy…
