The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with our look back at some of the older Clone Wars figures that we have yet to add to the archives. We continue with the bounty hunter and clone cadet trainer, El-Les (CW47).
PROS: During this era of the Clone Wars line, Hasbro’s figures were at their apex – the likenesses to their onscreen counterparts were superb and the articulation was beyond generous – those attributes continue here with El-Les. His overall design/sculpt is exactly like what was seen on the show and since he was part of a fan favorite episode, Clone Cadets, collectors snatched him up quickly.
CONS: None.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth tracking down for your collection.

Our eagle-eyed, astromech aficionado friends at The Astromech Collection have noticed that in the recent press imagery for the new Star Wars Weekends Jedi Mickey Starfighter a new R2-MK can be seen that uses the Droid Factory/Build-A-Droid sculpt. No word if this is included with the starfighter or if it is part of a new assortment of B.A.D. parts that will be available at the park.
