It looks like Hasbro heard our cries about the initial mold chosen for the Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Saga Legends line. As you may have seen, the first shipments of this figure included a repack of the mold first used in 2003 Saga line as the Outlander Nightclub version. New cases shipping now look to have switched this figure out for the more respectable 2008 TAC mold. No word yet if a similar upgrade to the Jango Fett is in the works.

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of the Toys”R”Us Exclusive Clone WarsKul Teska
PROS:Despite its immense size, Hasbro managed to pack all the articulation and sculpted details that we’ve become accustomed to on figures a third of its stature. The unique packaging also sets this figure apart from the basic figure line.
CONS: If you haven’t played the game, I doubt you know who this dude is. The $14.99 price point is a bit high but considering it uses enough plastic to make two and a half figures, I guess it seems about right.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.
The official site has updated tonight with the announcement of a new set of Bounty Hunter Cube Dudes that will be exclusive to Celebration V. This set follows the recent SDCC exclusive Clone Wars set including Yoda, Obi-Wan, R2, C-3PO and Captain Rex and the Toy Story Buzz Lightyear from Toy Fair 2010. Head to StarWars.com for the full article.
Your mileage may vary, but at least one St. Louis area Target (Kirkwood) has fully stocked the new figures as of today… Vintage, Clone Wars, Legends, Battle Packs, Mid-Size Vehicles, and even AT-ATs.
It might be worth your while to see if your local Target has done the same – good luck Yakkers!
