Believe it or not, we've known Clone Wars villainess Asajj Ventress for just over seven years now, having first been introduced on November 14, 2003 during an episode of the original micro-series directed by Genndy Tartakovsky (actually, reader "IllogicalRogue2" reminds us that Asajj was introduced months earlier in Dark Horse's Star Wars Jedi: Mace Windu comic from February 2003, although the Clone Wars episode was her first televised appearance). In the years since, the character's look and story have evolved, culminating in some stunning revelations debuting in tonight's first episode of a three-story arc, "Nightsisters."
With Ventress front and center tonight, we felt the time was right to take a quick glance back at the character collectibles-wise, from her early appearance on posters for the first series to the many turns she's had as a Hasbro action figure. There's been quite the coven of Ventress collectibles to date, her biggest year coinciding with the character's 2008 comeback as the deadliest -- and sultriest -- assassin in the galaxy.
