Toyguide Update: CW10 Aqua Droid
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the next addition for the 2012 “Darth Maul” product line. We continue with the Aqua Droid (CW10) from The Clone Wars sub-line.
PROS: The Aqua Droid, though repacked from 2011, is an excellent figure in design, detail and deco. The figure is loaded with articulation resulting in a variety of posing options* and features a cool retractable head. Having a half dozen (or more) of these figures is necessary for an Separatist army builder or general droid fan.
CONS: The knee and ankle/foot joints can get a bit loose with repetitive play, resulting in the figure collapsing under its own weight. *Since this figure is aquatic based, Hasbro should develop a proprietary figure stand in order to display it in a swimming pose.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.
You can also weigh in with your impressions on the figures we add to our toyguide on facebook and in our forums.

Episode 347: The Price Match Mind Trick
The figures are out there. They are not easy to find, they are not plentiful, but if you hit the stores often enough, if you’re lucky enough, if the Force is with you, new Star Wars Vintage Collection figures are in stores to be bought. And not just action figures, new Star Wars Titanium vehicles are hitting stores, plus even more Star Wars toys are on closeout for the bargain hunters out there.
On this week’s Star Wars Action News podcast, Arnie and Marjorie run down a number of recent store finds, from $10 Battle Packs and Deluxe Figures at Tuesday Morning to half off figure sales to a K-Mart markdown that you won’t B-lieve! And also on this week’s show, they review the Wave 12 Vintage Collection Star Wars figures that they received this past week from Brian’s Toys.
With a UK store and convention report from Steve The Gingerprince, and a price match showdown at Wal Mart, it’s all on this week’s Star Wars Action News!
