PROS: The Phase II clone finally started seeing some action in The Clone Wars fourth season and Hasbro has done a great job of bringing into the 3-3/4″ line. While paint apps are minimal the new sculpt showcases the sleek look that the clones have in the show and the interpretation of the helmet looks really nice – the perfect bridge between the animated and realistic style of figures.
CONS: Same issues may hold true for some collectors: no ball-jointed ankles, too skinny/cartoony, too clean, etc.

Kubrick DX 4 has been officially released by Medicom Toy this week and with that news comes word from Instinctoy’s blog that one of the chases for this set is an Imperial Naval/Stormtrooper Officer. If history is any indicator, expect this one to “command” high prices on eBay as well.
UPDATE: The second chase as been revealed: The black Imperial astromech R2-Q5. Collectors of this line may remember that R2-Q5 was available previously in an exclusive box set back on 2004, only this time, he is the 2 leg configuration instead of the three-legged version.
You’ve all seen the increases. First $8.99, then $9.99, then $10.99. Now Target in Walnut Creek, CA has their Vintage Collection figures at a soul crushing $11.99 each! Who doesn’t want to pay that for a Qui-Gon repack?
