Toyguide Update: CW14 Aayla Secura

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the next addition for the 2012 “Darth Maul” product line. We continue with Aayla Secura (CW14) – a welcomed reissue for 2012 in The Clone Wars line.

PROS: Collectors for a long time have wanted a second chance at adding some of the figures from the last waves of the 2009-2010 Clone Wars line to their collections. One of the more sought after figures was Aayla Secura (CW40). Thankfully, Hasbro has reissued/repacked her for 2012 and since she is a figure from “a more civilized age”, she is loaded with articulation and is well accessorized.

CONS: The goggles/breath mask combo is a little cumbersome as the eyewear tends to pop off easily and because of how the breath mask is designed, she is really limited to just looking forward while wearing it. Thankfully all the superfluous accessories are removable so that alleviates the issue entirely.

Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.

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

Hot Toys Announces New Figures

Over on the Hot Toys Community Facebook page, they have revealed some new 1:6 scale figures are in the pipeline for the Star Wars line. Next up on their schedule is Anakin Skywalker, Han Solo followed by a character from Episode II. Hopefully we will be seeing images of these characters soon.

Thanks to Star Wars Action News‘ facebook page for the tip.

Sideshow Mythos Preview: Ben Kenobi

Sideshow Collectibles has updated their “Sideshow Experience” section with a preview of the upcoming Ben Kenobi “Desert Nomad” Mythos statue. As you’ll see the details are beyond amazing and the likenesses are uncanny. Although this is a prototype, hopefully they will address the fact that they have the wrong lightsaber (Episode II design) for Anakin Skywalker attached to his pack.
