Our friends over at Sandtroopers.com have gotten there imperial mitts on a couple new Battle Pack images. Previously a rumor floated by Mr. Curto at Rebelscum, these new sets consist of the Battle of Orto Plutonia from the Clone Wars featuring Cold Weather Anakin, Obi-Wan, Rex and Chieftan Thi-Sen. The second is the Invasion of Utapau from Episode III featuring Commander Cody, Airborne Trooper, General Grievous and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Although the figures in these packs are repacks, they do include the Galactic Battle Card and Mat for added play value – if you are into that kind of thing that is. Head on over to Sandtroopers.com for a closer look.

UPDATE: Clone Wars (CW36) Quinlan Vos Carded & Loose Images

UPDATE: A few eagle-eyed readers have observed that the lightsaber looks to have the ability to attach to the included speederboard for extra play value. It is unknown if this is an actual toy feature or if we’ll see this functionality play out in the series itself.
