Hasbro wants kids to play and actually care about something besides their roleplaying toys! I mean, they waste so much money on producing stuff for kids that they don’t even care for too much anymore, and they end up just sitting on the pegs awaiting to be shipped back to HQ! (Marvel, G.I Joe, Clone Wars Wave 1 2012 action figures and etc.!) And what’s ironic is how us collectors actually care more about figures than kids do nowadays! I mean, every other time I go look around in the toy aisle at whatever store, I see kids playing with masks, guns, LIGHTSABERS! Cause that’s all they pretty much care and know about that’s Star Wars-related! Lightsaber role-playing toys! LOL

Counterfeit? Well If you have the right tools (extra figures/ creative background) then yeah go for it.
To be honest I’m just glad there producing clones wars characters no matter what way they come out 😀

I can’t imagine an articulated mando maul would be too difficult to counterfeit actually.

Plus I also want to add that turning action figures from an animated show look into what i guess they would call “real” is not easy for them. It’s really an art in it self.
Look how long it took to get a proper Fordo “arch trooper commander” I think it vexes them a bit and they approach it gingerly at best, or we would have seen more clone wars figure as real characters a lot sooner.

I’m with ya on the Maul though, I’m already getting the parts together for a custom! 😉

Good point, but I’d rather see these on Vintage cardbacks! Not brand-new packaging that could actually be given a chance! It’s great that collectors like you are looking on the “lighter side” of things, but I honestly won’t be collecting any of these at all! =P I’d rather get some CLASSIC figures if I wanted something with 5 POA!

Ah, sorry!

No different Paul, i’m Paulskywalker.

LOL! Good point Rykrof 🙂

It’s happening.

I like them. I look at them from another point of view. To me, its reminiscent of the original vintage figures. I see the new saga legends as if Kenner came back and started making figures again like they used to. So, to me, its a continuation of the POTF line from the 80’s. There was someone on ebay who used to make “vintage” sw figures in the kennerized style, that Kenner didn’t or couldn’t make. Soviet see it as an opportunity to add to my vintage kenner figures.
(I know Hasbro bought Kenner)
