Toyguide Update: Clone Captain Lock (Kmart)
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of the K-Mart Exclusive Clone Captain Lock from The Clone Wars Collection.
PROS: A nice and relatively inexpensive exclusive when compared to other retailers. Still available in stores and online.
CONS: Light on accessories and a removable helmet would have been nice.
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.
Toyguide Update: CW52 Commander Colt
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of Clone Commander Colt from The Clone Wars Collection
PROS: We knew we were going to get this figure as soon as we saw him in solicitation imagery for the Season 3 debut, and after a not-quite-right trial run in the ARC Troopers Battle Pack, Hasbro delivers on a great figure and it’s pretty close to the onscreen version in terms of deco and the skull-face helmet deco is too cool. Lots of accessories and plenty of articulation, too.
CONS: The blueish-gray used for the accent color seems to be a bit off when compared to the character art, but still a fine figure and not a reason to pass on him.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.
