This is part of the series that Hasbro put out around Episode One. There was also a Darth Maul and an Obi-Wan. They are basically two pieces, the person and their lightsaber. They are molded in pretty soft vinyl and don't look too bad. They come with some small tubs of paint that you van use if you want. I did for some stuff. The only assembly I can speak of is inserting the lightsaber into his hand. Just be careful because it is a tight fit and you can easily scrape paint. As for painting, I used the brown that it came with to paint his robe. I used various mixes of browns for the rest of his clothing. For his hair I painted it brown and dry brushed some lighter browns and a little gray. I don't know, there really isn't much to say about this thing. I got this at KB for around $3.
