Wow olds, this is coming together great! This really reminds me of my childhood. This looks just like the Hulk from the Peter David run with Gary Frank art. This is leaping right off the pages.

Cool. I don't even remember much from Ultraverse even though I was really in to the line at the time.

After looking at this 3D print for about 6-7 years since I saw it first on the Fwoohs, I finally caved and bought this Darth Talon kit. I'd always planned on making one for myself, but after thinking about it, all the time I'd invest in trying to modify parts from various MLs like Angela into something accurate, it started to sound good to just buy this and paint it. It wasn't cheap, but since I doubt Hasbro/Disney will ever make her since allegedly even Slave Leia is off the table now, I felt safe treating myself. So expect her to be announced by Hasbro soon, lol. The hardest part has been painting al the Sith tattoos, but I should be done soon.

I guess it counts as a custom since I still had to paint her.

AWESOME! I loved Darth Talon, she was the attraction point for Me back then then I got hooked on the story itself. Now she and the rest of Legacy is nothing but legends...thank you Disney :batsmh: :wwsmh: :smsmh: This crap with Hasbro and Disney is ridicules, don't you love this day and age :roll:

Anyway, you better consider it a custom since you YOU have to paint her :!: Can't wait see her finished :D

I didn't read the Legacy series until way after it had long been cancelled. I remember working overnights at Walmart and opening up cases of 3.75 figures and having no idea who any of these characters were. It really was a great series, though. Way better than anything Disney put on screen in the sequel copies. Supposedly, Lucas had an early draft of a sequel trilogy that involved a revived Darth Maul and Talon as his apprentice, but then he sold to Disney and they barfed up their own story instead. What could've been. I have plans to do at least a handful of other characters from the series, but then again, I have plans to do dozens of SW characters and my attention always wanders to the shiniest new idea, so who knows when you'll see them.
