We’re going back… whoops, wrong franchise! Spending Christmas and New Year with his family at Rancho Obi-Wan in Northern California, James couldn’t miss up on the opportunity to record with Steve Sansweet and bring Dan in on the action as all three look back at Star Wars in 2012 – the events, the collectibles and their favourite items on a Curto Burns Collectors Cast Special.
Recorded on New Year’s Day (exactly three months ago to the day) tune in and listen as they talk about everything from Trading Cards to LEGO – you won’t want to miss this (and see if you can spot what’s changed in the last few months)!

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.
You can also weigh in with your impressions on the figures we add to our toyguide on facebook and in our forums.
