Star Wars Bounty Hunter Boushh



Resized JPEG graphic

Boushh first appeared in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi (1983). In fact in the film, Boushh was Princess Leia Organa in disguise. So who is the real Boushh?
According to Wookieepedia, Boushh was a successful male Ubese bounty hunter active around the time of the formation of the Galactic Empire. Known for his melee skills and penchant for thermal detonators, Boushh was considered cool-headed in a profession often filled with trigger-happy mercenaries, and operated as a freelancer traveling from system to system looking for work. He wore a suit of customized Ubese armor—layers of brown survival material and an optically-enhanced helmet which both provided him with protection and obscured his identity.

Sideshow Collectibles manufactured this Princess Leia as Boushh figure under the Heros of the Rebellion series in 2007. However I only pick it up years later at clearance price. I was never a fan of Sideshow's female sculpts, & tis Leia did not fail to disappoint. So I felt the best was to let Leia keep her disguise!

The Sideshow female body did not stand very well on its own, given the body was often top heavy with oversize head & very small feet to balance on. Lucky Boushh has a staff for sum extra support.

BBI USAF U-2 Pilot



Resized JPEG graphic

BBI made a fine USAF U-2 pilot back in 2003. To me this is the best & coolest 1/6 scale pilot ever made. No attention to detail has been spared. He comes in a bright yellow full pressure suit covered in details, zips, stitching, pockets, air bladders, hose attachments, & even a pair of boots with strapped on boot supports. The helmet is superbly detailed & fits perfectly onto the rigid collar of the flight suit. It has a protection bar and two visors (one clear the other tinted). Even by today's toy high standard, the quality of this BBI piece will still make you take notice!

A pressure suit is a protective suit worn by high-altitude U-2 pilots who may fly at altitudes where the air pressure is too low for an unprotected person to survive, even breathing pure oxygen at positive pressure. Such suits may be either full-pressure (like a space suit) or partial-pressure (as used by air crew). Partial-pressure suits work by providing mechanical counter-pressure to assist breathing at altitude.

The Lockheed U-2, nicknamed "Dragon Lady", is a single-engine, very high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft operated by the United States Air Force (USAF) and previously flown by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). It provides day and night, very high-altitude (70,000 feet / 21,000 m), all-weather intelligence gathering. The aircraft is also used for electronic sensor research and development, satellite calibration, and satellite data validation. Introduce into service in 1957, The U-2 is still in service today.

Their tightly fitted tailored cat suits are beautiful. Excellent fit from the sole of Sham's sole to her neck. Made from stretchy material with a sheen finishing, I suspect it will not holds up well against the humid weather here & posing wears out the suit leaving fold marks. My Pure Sham suit is looser then tat of the Red Devil Sham. I like how the suit is crafted to make it look like it goes under her sole. Honestly, I dun think the suit can be remove form the feet…

Mr Bridger is a puppet tat came with Red Devil Sham. He is made from a solid piece of molded plastic. Would it be nicer if he was made of fabric? Red Devil Sham also came with an extra holster & pistol vs Pure Sham.
