You don't have her yet? Well, she's VERY ugly, so hold on to your butts.

No, she was one of the last Cantina figures I've bought. Heh heh, I don't mind her design all that much. She is a tad on the ugly side but I'm pretty accepting of alien designs in movies, etc.

Same here, just she is an ugly little thing......I almost thought she was a guy when I first saw her......but thats changed now.

I got her yesterday, her cloak didn't want to pose all that well. She's more of an oddball than ugly in my book. She seems to give the Cantina a bit more oddness to it. I don't recall what first thought... Heh heh. I didn't think they would sculpt breasts on her though. They weren't on Onith so I thought they would only be on more humanoid ones.

Oh well, great custom fodder torso for people who do that.

Thats what I thought too.

Since I found out she was In the cantina I feel the need to get her. Lol

Cyclone · Jan 10, 2012

Was she in the Cantina? I thought she was just outside in the Market buying the land speeder.

1. She is dressed like a Jedi. My kids are like, where's her lightsaber.
2. That's one might ugly beast of a creature.

Well, that's because of the ret-con that all jedi wear brown robes instead of it just being the dominant clothing of that planet as was originally intended.

this alien is a must buy for me she is by far one of the weirdest aliens in the whole entire saga and i am a huge fan of any aliens from a new hope

Jcc2224Cody · Jan 14, 2012

I think I may be getting this thing along with Trinto and Takeel to complete my Cantina. Having looked at Garven's once, it is a pretty freaky-a** figure!

GarvenDreis · Jan 14, 2012

I really like this figure. Don't know what everyone is complaining about.

Jcc2224Cody · Jan 15, 2012

It's ugly! Look at that things wicked skin, uneven eyes, dopey mouth, disfigured head, and all out ugliness!

Which could explain why these dudes have so many eyes. Ugly? Okay, let's try another eye. :wtf:

CadBane · Jan 31, 2012

Just got her today in a trade. I love this figure. I know Hasbro would never rerelease this either.

Seize9 · Sep 5, 2014

Me too. I loved her then and I still love her as much now hehe.

Yes, Wioslea is a truly groseque character, but I'm glad they made a figure of her. That being said, it's not surprising that there was never a close-up of her face in the ANH :disgusted:

I'm surprised they didn't try to retcon her into being a Jedi since she's wearing the robe and all. (hehe)

Pretty sure she was to be the alien that accosts Luke in the Cantina (described as ugly and many eyed) but Lucas nixed it once he saw the mask.

Yeah, makes sense if that's the case - I do remember that description of the alien that attacked Luke in the ANH novelization (Alan Dean Foster, 1976). Though Ponda Baba & Dr. Evazan were repulsive-looking enough, a close-up of Wioslea may have caused audience members (in the theater) to lose their lunch, and ANH wouldn't have become the big hit that we all known & love...
