I like this guy, lots of options, and he isn't ridiculously expensive. I love force leap, and its great with any extra tricks. When I think of what makes a good mini, I think of what annoys me when playing, and 30 base damage with avoid defeat is very annoying. His force Heal will also be useful if he makes his AD saves.
I think versatility is the biggest strength of the more recent Jedi. KKJBM, or the Exile, for example. I absolutelylove this set, because it has so many pieces, and not all are fighting for the same niche.

He is not bad 30 base damage 150 hit pts, deflect and leap is good too and I'm sure we will find a real nice commander effect for him. Everyone wants affinity for NR but I think NR did good enough for this set. No more new minis until Galixies at War I can't wait and I don't even have any of th JA set.

I've already said this on WotC, but I'm very much unimpressed. For 52 points, I was expecting something... better. The 30 damage is nice, but overall he's just lackluster. I can't see a reason to play him instead of a pair of JWMs or something similiar.

Most of the ones in JA are under what they should be, but really the dark women is way over done, 21 points of 110 hp, 10 attacl, can go through walls and have superstealth and give force points.
they should have dulled her down and sharpened the others.

I'm dissapointed a bit. Ever since I started playing minis (almost a year) I looked all through the minis and was sad to see there was no K'kruhk. Now they finnaly make one and he is decent at best. I was hoping for a bit better. TDW Light tudor would be cool to give to him though. Or better yet, Quigon Jinn, JM's Light spirit would be fun, but all in all, a bit dissapointed.

yeah, a sick joke would be nice, but I know the official previews are real, and Plagueis's and Sadow's(because I have them)

More like a handout to fans that have been wanting a K'kruhk miniature.

Tirade, you are probably right, that is most likely is why Plagueis was made, either that or they ran out of idea's of mini's to make.

While he may be an odd offering, everyone that has seen Ep III has heard of the name. So I'm not too shocked to see him in miniature form. Who knows? Maybe Lucas and his cronies told Wizos they had to make a Plagueis miniature. All I know is I'm far happier with Plagueis than the blah piece we received named K'kruhk.

That is sad. How is Maul a bad VR?  he is a great piece and vodo is nowhere near as bad as the others on that list

How is Maul a bad VR? he is a great piece and vodo is nowhere near as bad as the others on that list Well, compare Maul to the Map Pack Asajj. He might appear lacking after doing the comparison ;). Also, I never said Vodo was bad, simply disappointing. Many people, including myself, expected a CE. Instead we got a piece lacking much faction synergy. So that's why Vodo falls into the disappointing category. Truth be told, I actually like him better than Maul.

Maul looks good until you look at the new Asajj, at which point you realise he's pretty hopeless. We also agree on Vodo: he's a good piece, but just not what I expected from the legendary Jedi Master. Nothing new, just... bland. He also does next to nothing to help his faction out. K'Kruhk is the same, only worse. His stats and abilities are all utterly boring aside from that 30 damage. I know from experience that Avoid Defeat isn't as good as you might otherwise think. And he does absolutely nothing to help his faction.

ok I see where you're coming from with Vodo. And I would most likely agree with the Ventress, Maul comparison if they were in the same faction. But they arent so they never have to be chosen between

But they arent so they never have to be chosen between There is still going to be a comparison. Like it or not, pieces will be compared across factions based on cost. If it's not Maul, then it's Darth Talon. She seems inadequate when compared to Asajj as well. On a related note, a piece like Lucien Draay feels overcosted when stacked up against Kol Skywalker. No matter the faction, you'll find a comparison worth making. This especially happens if a piece doesn't stack up to a similarly costed piece from another faction.

It's not that Master K'kruhk is bad, it's just that at his cost he should be better. At 52 points he isn't worth putting in when there are other pieces you could get multiples of that are better. What I'm saying is, he would be better if he didn't cost as much as he does, or if he brought more to the table. But I feel he is outdated, even though he isn't even out yet.
at least his piece is cool :P

ok guys, heres how it works. lol. k'kruhk WILL NOT DIE. he has 150 hp, 22 def, deflect, force heal, and avoid defeat. throw him in with quiggy jedi master, and you have 11 force points, force heal to heal yourself, deflect to protect yourself along with high defense, and avoid defeat. if you play him properly, he WILL NOT DIE. im looking forward to my opponents face when he watches me live forever. its going to be great. as for maul, im in the same boat as awesome. you cant really compare them, as they are different factions, different people, and have different CEs to benefit from. i like the new maul. and he will do some beasting in any game you play with him.
