These two actually come from two separate STAR WARS comic-book packs. A'Sharad Hett comes from STAR WARS Expanded Universe two pack that includes A'Sharad Hett and A'Sharad's former master: the notorious Dark Woman: Jedi Master An'ya Kuro (A Gray Jedi who deserves her own write-up and will get one soon) which retails on Amazon for around US$ 24.99
A'Sharad's older, Dark Side incarnation Darth Krayt comes from the quite rare 2009 STAR WARS Comic book pack that includes Imperial Knight Sigel Dare. The pack is considered quite rare and once retailed on Amazon for as much as US$ 79.99. It's available now for still a most impressive US$ 59.99 (PhP 2,579 plus shipping)
A'Sharad Hett




Sharad Hett would eventually fall to the bane-of-the Jedi Aurra Sing - who ironically was trained by An'Ya Kuro, the Dark Woman (She apparently specializes in troubled Jedi). Sharad's death brought A'Sharad's existence to the knowledge of the Jedi who sent the Dark Woman and Ki-Adi Mundi (Another of the Dark Woman's former padawans) to hunt down Aurra Sing.
What's to like about A'Sharad Hett?



You also have to love the very faint tattoos on A'Sharad Hett's face which will come into bigger play when he becomes Darth Krayt.
A'Sharad Hett's Tusken accouterments is also original. You can add or remove his Tusken faceplate - although showing skin for Tusken's in considered a dishonor - and yes, A'Sharad Hett has a long pony-tail trailing from the back of his head.
A'Sharad Hett is a dual-weapons specialist and usually fights with two lightsabers: his Krayt Dragon teeth saber and his father's (Sharad Hett's) original (simpler) light-saber which also comes with the figure but cannot be clipped to his belt. You can also substitute a lightsaber for a Tusken mace that comes with the figure.

A'Sharad Hett would survive Order 666 and actually believed that he was the last Jedi - being unable to sense any other Jedi in the Universe (Probably a flaw brought of arrogance). A'Sharad returned to Tatooine where he vowed to take down the Empire and became a Tusken Warlord uniting several Tusken clans. However when his Tusken raiders threatened a certain Lars Homestead, A'Sharad found himself face-to-face with Obi-Wan Kenobi. Their duel ended with A'Sharad losing an arm and having the dishonor of his face wrappings removed. Obi Wan denied him a quick death and exiled him from Tatooine.
A'Sharad would grow to learn that Darth Vader was Anakin Skywalker - the man who had confessed massacring a Tusken tribe so many years ago. A'Sharad despaired realizing that if he had reported Anakin's confession to the Jedi Council, Darth Vader may never have been born. A'Sharad would eventually find his way to Korriban where he learned the ways of the Sith and be gifted with a prosthetic arm. He would later be captured by the Yuuzhan Vong who would re-grow his arm. It was while he was being tortured by the Yuuzhan Vong that Darth Krayt was born.
