Confirming our rumor report from back in May, eBay power seller “Tunghori” has posted images of 3 clone troopers from the Hidden Enemy Battle Pack. This themed set is based off of the Season 1 CW episode of the same name and includes (so far) clone troopers Gus, Slick and Chopper – complete with Battle Droid finger souvenir necklace! Head to JediDefender for the pics.
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of the Celebration V Exclusive Camie & Fixer Comic Pack
PROS: “Wormie” finally gets his friends! Well articulated – perfect for Tatooine diorama filler or for fans of cutscene and/or concept figures in general. Plus, they make a great accompaniment to the Academy Biggs Darklighter and Floppy Hat Luke from the TAC line.
CONS: For myself, none but some might consider them a little obscure and difficult to track down after the convention. Accessories are a little light. I would have liked to see Fixer include a set of macrobinoculars.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this set is worth adding to your collection.
Thanks to Hasbro and Hunter PR for providing us this advance sample.

The title is a oxymoron, but today an image surfaced of the first non-Original Trilogy Vintage cardback featuring Commander Cody from Revenge of the Sith. This new image also confirms rumors of the return of the UGH-style “chase” figure that will be sprinkled in starting with the ROTS wave. Tap the image above to for a closer look, but be warned OT/Vintage purists as in doing so, your brain might explode or the fabric of space/time might be irreparably torn.

Among the new items hitting Toys”R”us are the Clone Wars deluxe figures, which includes some great additions to the line… one of those being the new Cad Bane.
This new figure is very well done, fits in pretty good with the regular realistic line, and almost hits the mark in terms of articulation… check out a few pics and share your thoughts on this upgraded bounty hunter after the jump!
One of the fastest growing demographics in the Science Fiction field today is the female audience. Realizing this incredibly important and increasing segment, Ashley Eckstein, the voice of Ahsoka Tano on the television series, Star Wars™ : The Clone Wars, has teamed up with The Araca Group, the co-producers & merchandising company behind the Broadway sensation, Wicked, to launch Her Universe™ – a line of merchandise designed exclusively for female fans. Beginning with a license for Star Wars, Her Universe focuses on authentic and high-quality licensed Sci Fi/Fantasy fashion apparel and merchandise.
Eckstein’s new endeavor, however, is not just about selling merchandise. She hopes to start a movement within the Sci Fi community to equally acknowledge the female fan base. Her first step will be coordinating and hosting a special panel at San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday, July 24th from 6:30pm to 7:30pm in Room 24ABC, entitled “Her Universe: Shining the Spotlight on Female Fans – the Past, Present and Future of Science Fiction Through Female Eyes.”
