With each Prequel movie the bipedal droids pitted against the Jedi become progressively more formidible. From the hapless Battle Droids of Episode I to the rapid-fire Super Battle Droids that we first encounter in Episode II in the Geonosian Arena to the Magnaguards of Episode III which are able to fight the Jedi in close combat and don't even die when you chop off their heads. The Magnaguard droid is the perfect weapon to start whittling down the numbers of the Jedi and to aid in Palpatine's plot to destroy them. As General Grievous's personal guard they also complement his style of fighting and compensate for the fact that, whilst trained to use a lightsaber, he doesn't have any other Jedi attributes.
At the moment I'm missing the 'Force lightning' which wraps around the MagnaGuard figure's vibro-staff.

The name 'magna' reminds us of the lava fields on Mustafar where Obi-Wan and Anakin have their final duel, but the Magnaguards don't make it that far through the movie. By the time Anakin/ Vader reaches Mustafar to finish off the Separatist leaders they are protected only by Battle Droids and Neomodian sentries which Anakin/Vader is able to make easy work of.
All Star Wars action figures, vehicles, collectibles and Star Wars toys shown on this website are the 3.75 inch scale and from my own private Star Wars collection unless otherwise stated. Where possible original vintage accessories have been used but in some instances I have placed Kenner Star Wars figures with either reproduction weapons and accessories or for Hasbro figures close approximations have been used. This is mostly the case for modern Star Wars lightsabers where the correct item can be very difficult to identify on some ocassions. Vintage Star Wars action figures are shown with their original weapon or accessory when I have them. When a vintage Kenner action figure is shown with an accessory which is not original I have tried to point this out where possible.
All of the Star Wars action figures shown were purchased second hand, usually incomplete, and in bulk. They have been reunited with their original weapons and accessories where we could get hold of them.
