Although the bounty hunters really didn’t do much in the
films, they’re interesting characters and Dengar especially has an interesting design.
Of the Imperial bounty hunters, I think Dengar might just be my second favorite,
although it’s hard to rank that bunch.
This Kenner toy on the other hand, is not my favorite at
all. I picked this one up mainly by chance and was surprised by one thing in
particular: his height. The original Dengar is really tiny, like, Jawa/Ewok
tiny. I have no clue why they would have made him this small, but either way I
think it detracts from him.
Otherwise Dengar really isn’t a bad figure, his sculpt is
great. His rifle is really cool too, and although it’s not really the Valken-38
he used, it works either way. The height issue really puts him down a notch
though, especially when so many of the ESB and ROTJ figures were already so
strong.
His height is a bummer but Cyko gave me the great advice of putting him on something when taking a shot of him with other figures. I hated him when I was young because he was ugly and boring but he's grown on me, as a lot of odd figures do. Awesome shot with the Imperial Commanders, Chad.
