Title: YVH-1 (buil a droid)
Post by: FialaFernbrugg on December 29, 2009, 08:38:38 AM: Hey guys, this is my first figure review. I hope you like it.

YVH-1
This is a build a droid figure from wave 11 and wave 11.5 of the Legacy Collection. You need six figures to complete this droid. I used the Utai, the Stormtrooper, Plo Koon, Agen Kolar, Jeremoch Colton and the concept IG-88 to build this guy.

story:
The Yuuzhan Vong Hunter One combat droid, or YVH 1, was a battle droid developed by Tendrando Arms as a means to effectively combat Yuuzhan Vong warriors. Nearly two meters tall, the YVH 1 droid was built on a reinforced humanoid-type skeleton and protected with layered, self-healing black-gray laminanium armor that resembled the voduun crab armor used by Yuuzhan Vong warriors. The skull-like head, glowing red photoreceptors, and external circuitry furthered the Vong-like appearance of the droid, which earned them the moniker "Yuuzhandroids".

articulation:
*swivel neck
*swivel shoulders
*ball-hinged elbows
*swivel wrists
*ball-hinged torso
*swivel hips
*ball-hinged knees
*ball-hinged ankles

so pretty good articulation, only the swivel neck should be changed to a ball-jointed neck.

accessories:
The figure comes with a brand-new blaster pistol

per:
It is a very interesting figure. The detailing is great and for EU fans an absolute must.

versus:
He can't hold his blaster very good

btw when I first saw this droid I aslo thought, what the hell a Terminator in Star Wars ;). It is really a bit strange but also very interesting.

Post by: spudafett on January 06, 2010, 02:43:30 PM: you guys should look up some of the concept art of the hunter killer series of droids, some of them look dead up like a star wars version of a terminator endoskeleton.

Post by: Tamer on January 06, 2010, 05:55:36 PM: I would love to see more crossover type things like this. I don't mind the Terminator look at all. It would have to look menacing to take on a Vong. I guess thats why I like IMPS so much, seeing the Aliens and Predators in there with Fett was priceless imo.
