Toyguide Update: CW16 Super Battle Droid (Training Droid)
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the next addition for the 2012 “Darth Maul” product line. We continue with the Training Super Battle Droid (CW16) from The Clone Wars line.
PROS: A solid figure in the fact that it has a good sculpt and the episode specific deco looks great. It has all the necessary articulation – save for the legs of course. I hope will see a reissue of this figure someday perhaps with the missing members of Domino Squad.
CONS: In an era of more action feature heavy figures, Hasbro confoundingly left out the second set of missile launchers that were present with prior releases of this figure.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.

Update: Fett Looking OT for Clone Wars?
An interesting image showed up on StarWars.com today of what looks to be an animated version of the Classic Boba Fett. It looks like Boba’s transformation to the iconic armor will turn up in the Clone Wars for season 5! Head on over for a closer look and be sure to check out their new Celebration VI announcements.
UPDATE: It appears that the cat was let out of the bag a bit prematurely as the Official Site has removed the image an replaced the animated version with one from The Empire Strikes Back. Thanks to our friends at JediNews for the tip.

Toyguide Update: CW15 Ahsoka (Scuba Gear)
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the next addition for the 2012 “Darth Maul” product line. We continue with Ahsoka in Scuba Gear (CW15) from The Clone Wars line.
PROS: This all-new Ahsoka is a fantastically sculpted figure with an excellent likeness to her more “grown up” look in Season 4 and the overall paint deco is top notch with little to no bleed over – a least on my example. The scuba accessories work well with the figure despite the inability to display her in any discernible swimming poses.
CONS: Sadly, the lack of articulation in the legs really hurts this figure from being anything other than a nice mini Ahsoka statuary.
