Toyguide Update: CW4 Cad Bane

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.

Toyguide Update: CW3 Savage Opress

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the next addition for the 2012 “Darth Maul” product line. We continue with the repacked Savage Opress (CW3) from The Clone Wars.

PROS: Fans of Savage get another crack at adding him to their collections. Nothing appears “different” about this release sculpt or accessory wise as compared to the previous version so he is totally skippable (unless you need the new-fangled Galactic Battle Game card).

CONS: It’s a repack of the shirtless version which seemed to have reached a wider distribution than the armored version that remains elusive for some collectors.

NEW TVC DPCI at Target

One of my local Target store did their reset overnight which yielded new shelf tags for the Movie Heroes and Clone Wars basic figures and most notably the Vintage Collection. The previous DPCI for the TVC line was 087-06-1351 and this particular store charges $10.99 for them (yuck) the new 2012 Vintage DPCI is 087-06-2413 and is priced at $8.99. Save these numbers to do some checking on your own if your store hasn’t reset their aisle or endcaps yet.
