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.

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.

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.

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the next addition for the 2012 “Darth Maul” product line. We continue with the new Clone Trooper in Phase II Armor (CW2) from The Clone Wars.
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.
