The Mustafar Sentry.  He’s a sentry, and not a guard or a warrior, so don’t make that mistake.  But like the Royal Guard, Neimoidian Warrior, and Utapaun Warrior, he just stands there carrying a big stick.  I assume all of these characters speak softly.  Also, he’s “Mustafar”, not “Mustafarian.”  So is he responsible for guarding the entire planet, or is he the very embodiment of the planet itself?  I think Hasbro has a real problem with naming consistency.  And I know that Lucasfilm feels the same way.  There’s even some old news footage of that time an exasperated Lucasfilm confronted a young Hasbro about their inconsistent naming of figures:

So maybe it’s not all Hasbro’s fault, and Lucasfilm needs to do some self-reflection and realize their part in this whole mess.

Here’s another guy that can barely be seen, but he’s definitely there.  There are two of them in the background on the landing platform when Anakin arrives on Mustafar to wipe out the Separatists.  In fact, you’ll see that THEY AREN’T JUST STANDING THERE!  One of them is actually kneeling, and then stands up as Anakin passes.  I sure hope the figure can recreate this pivotal moment!  (It can’t.)

The figure is tall and skinny, with some interestingly odd articulation.  He’s got a ball jointed…face?  Really, it’s his face that swivels, maybe not his entire head.  I don’t know.  I guess it’s his head.  He’s got ball jointed shoulders, with hinged elbows, and no wrists.  The poses of the upper body are limited, but you can manage a look or two if you try hard enough. He’s got a swivel waist, swivel hips, and VERY limited ball jointed ankles - and no knees.  The slits in the lower “skirt” would seem to allow for some movement of the legs, but it’s just not really meant to be. 

The design of the character is pretty striking.  He’s more like a battle droid than anything else.  In fact, it’s hard to tell where the organic frame ends and the armor begins.  Maybe he’s wearing some kind of mech suit.  The detailing of the sculpt, and the coloring of the armor are nicely done.  Unfortunately, the figure doesn’t really stand all that well and is easily warped. 

For accessories, he comes with the aforementioned big stick, which is weirdly designed, but might be screen accurate - hard to tell.  There’s an attachment that allows for an electrostatic effect. The way it attaches even lends itself for the thing to rotate on the stick, but it’s kind of a useless feature, even though it’s called out on the back of the package, as if it’s some kind of spectacular attraction.  He also comes with one of the flaming bases, which, while I realize is a little cartoony, is still my favorite base of all Hasbro’s attempts in the ROTS line.  I often stagger a bunch in the background of my Mustafar photos for some corny ambience. 

While it will never happen at this point, back in the ROTS days I very much badly wanted a lava flea for this guy to ride.  But my dreams have been dashed on the fiery rocks of Mustafar.

As we’ve seen, Hasbro was really pushing the deep cut characters towards the end of ROTS, and they’ll get no complaints from me on that front.  Sure, most of the figures are subpar 20 years later, but the fact that they even exist at all is a minor miracle and a testament to how incredible the line was at the time.
