The crew at Rebelscum have posted a set of high-res images for the upcoming “Mission Series” assortment of reduced articulation two-packs due later this year. This first wave includes Darth Vader with Seeker Droid, Anakin Skywalker (Darth Vader) with 501st Legion Trooper, Jango Fett with Battle Droid and 212th Battalion Clone Trooper with Battle Droid.
