Action Figure Review:

12" Zam Wesell
accessories: Zam has her blaster (which is REALLY small) her rifle, helmet and a very creepy looking mask. Lately with 12" figures (with the acception of the Ultimate Jango) coming with one accesory Zam did pretty good on that part.
articulation: here is where Zam is kind of weak. Coming in the same line as Dooku we would expect her to have awsome articulation (I wish hers was like the 12" females from the Lord of the Rings line). Zam only has head, arms, waist, legs and knees. It would have been better if she had elbow and wrist articukation so she could at leats hold her rifle!
best part: I think the overall look of the figure is awsome! The face isn't Leeanna but it is closer than most 12" figures. Her uniform is great and her accessories are awsome. overall a great figure!
worst part: I would have to say her articulation (much like the lack there of) would be the worst bit of her!
grade: 3 stars out of 5...if she had better articulation she would probably have a 4 or 4 1/2

Costuming:

*Great tip from my friend Brittny! Being that we are sooo poor that we can't afford a $200 pair of boots for padme's costume:

Get a white pair of canvas shoes (keds work fine). Put on a pair of soccer shin guards (the ones that cover your entire leg, front and back) and white socks...you have white boots!!!

*Project Graflex -Star Wars Replicas

*Make sure to check out the star wars galaxies chat on November 25th at the SWG chatroom. Developers Raph Koster, Haden Blackman, Rich Vogel, John Donham and Kevin O'Hara will be there to discuss any questions. The chat starts at 6pm.

*Even though a lot of us Star Wars fans dislike Star Trek (or maybe you don't?), the Vulkon conventions have closed off the 2002 season. Yet, ironically some star wars related events ocurred! The 501st Legion attended the Orlando one and helped out! Awesome job guys!
