Toyguide Update: 6″ TBS #14 Clone Trooper
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today, continuing a series of entries in the The Black Series 6″ line. Today, we take a look at the Phase I Clone Trooper (#14).
PROS: And it begins… Hasbro has officially dipped its toe into the clone pool for the 6″ line so with that, expect a wide range of color-coded clones (like the upcoming Clone Trooper Sergeant) in the not-too-distant future. Articulation is good, much like the 6″ stormtrooper but there is better execution here thanks to joint pins matching the armor. This figure is hitting online and retail stores now so it can be had with minimal effort.
CONS: None really other than on my example, the deco for the visor doesn’t quite hit fully so there is a gap along the top edge that should be black. Hopefully on a later find, this issue isn’t as prevalent.
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.

TBS 18 Figure Case Canceled???
We have just received a tip that the 18 figure case assortment of The Black Series has been canceled and will be replaced by “something else”. Bear in mind, that doesn’t necessarily mean the figures themselves are canceled, just the uber-large case assortment. More details to come…
