This is sort of a redo of two of my older (and now pretty crummy looking by
comparison) figures: my original Bothan and Stormtrooper.
Disguised in a modified Imperial Scout Trooper uniform, this armor has flight
capabilities, perfect in case a hasty escape if required. The helmet, part of
the jetpack mechanism, conceals the feline head of the Bothan spy beneath.
Armed with a standard issue Imperial blaster rifle, his mission is to
infiltrate the enemy bunker on the forest moon of Endor and play a key role
in the acquisition of the Death Star plans, vital in the Rebellion’s struggle
against the evil Empire.
(several days later...)
With a successful mission under his belt, and fragments of the Death Star
burning brightly above head, the Bothan Spy arrives at the party in
eblockvillage with his favorite party food: Bothan Baked Beans (yummy!).
While undercover, he was forced to participate in Imperial target practice,
and several Ewoks met the hot end of his blaster. Consequently, he’s a
little worried now that his hosts might be somewhat cross with him. But,
beans have a funny way of releaving tension at parties, so everything should
be just fine. On the other hand, it’s a good thing this is an open-air party,
because, as we all know, Jabba loves da’ beans!

Considering the amount of articulation he has, he's actually very sturdy (but his weight makes it (...) (20 years ago, 20-Feb-04, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)
