The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the next addition for the 2012 “Darth Maul” product line. We continue with Yoda (CW5) from The Clone Wars.
PROS: Hasbro goes back to the well with the best Clone Wars version of Yoda produced thus far. The articulation is great for a figure of this size and esthetic.
CONS: It’s a repack with nothing new save for a different colored base, die and new game card.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.

Here is a quick update from Big Bad Toy Store about a variety of new pre-orders as well as some cool new arrivals.
PRE-ORDER: 12″ STAP & BATTLE DROID
Sideshow is releasing another 12″ army-builder set with the STAP with Battle Droid. The STAP comes on an articulated base and includes a 1/6 scale Battle Droid pilot. We have this set listed at $169.99, $5 off the MSRP.
NEW ARRIVAL: STAR WARS 2012 CLASS I FLEET VEHICLES WAVE 01 – CASE
This new vehicle and figure set includes the Sith Speeder, the Naboo Royal Fighter, the Attack Recon Fighter and the Republic Assault Submarine, each with a driver, rider or pilot. We have them listed as a case of 4 at $69.99; we also have them listed individually (except the submarine, which is sold out), priced at $19.99 each.
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the next addition for the 2012 “Darth Maul” product line. We continue with the repacked Cad Bane (CW4) from The Clone Wars.
PROS: Despite this figure being a repack of the first sculpt from 2009, there is something new brought to the table here by way of extra weapons borrowed from previously released figures.
CONS: Since this is a repack of the first Cad Bane figure released, chances are you already have it and the extra weapons assortment isn’t enough to warrant a repeat purchase. Articulation is limited in the legs and frustrating in the arms due to the hoses on the gauntlets. There are better sculpts available for Bane, namely the CW42 version which included TODO-360.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.
