VC17 General Grievous
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with addition of General Grievous from the Vintage Collection.
PROS: Nice upgrade to the prior TLC BD25 version, the cape is great addition as is the revised deco. Well accessorized too.
CONS: The mold is very rubbery, making prolonged posing a delicate/frustrating balancing act. No foot peg holes in the feet to accept a display stand. New articulated hands pop off very easily.

New AOTC Wave Images at Sandtroopers
Our friends at Sandtroopers have again come through with additional images for the Attack of the Clone wave, this time featuring carded and loose shots of Mace Windu, Senate Guard and the Super Battle Droid. March on over for a closer look.
VC16 Obi-Wan Kenobi
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with addition of Obi-Wan Kenobi from the Vintage Collection.
PROS: Although we’ve been inundated with this figure sculpt for 5 years, it is still a solid mold without being overtly outdated. Nice likeness and well accessorized.
CONS: A better figure is available in the 2010 Saga Legends line for $1 cheaper. The knee joints suffer from “ostrich syndrome” and the ankles are distracting with the contrasting joint inserts.

New Target DPCIs
Our friends at JediDefender have posted a new list of Target DPCIs slated for feature on a Star Wars endcap in the next week or so. Head on over for the complete breakdown.
VC15 Clone Trooper
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with addition of the Clone Trooper from the Vintage Collection.
PROS: A nice super super-articulated plain clone trooper for our collections. Keep an eye out for the versions that have the belt flipped in the correct orientation.
CONS: Missing paint apps on the helmet make him look plainer than he already is. Helmet is also prone to yellowing/discoloration. Light in the accessory department – a spare DC-15A blaster rifle would have been a nice extra. Wonky hip articulation doesn’t add a whole lot in terms of “fun factor”. Some versions have the belt assembled upside down. You can get a better ROTS clone trooper in the Saga Legends line cheaper and you get extra weapons and a stand.

There is another….
Variation hunters rejoice/commit seppuku. Despite Hasbro’s insistence that running changes are too hard to manage, it appears that another switcheroo has been made in the kid targeted Saga Legends line. Joining Obi-Wan and the Battle Droids is Darth Vader (SL06) which now sports the “500th Vader” sculpt. Initial production runs of this Legends release included a repack of the TLC BD08 sculpt. Tap the image above for a closer look.
VC13 Anakin Skywalker
The Yakface Toyguide updates continue today with addition of the Anakin Skywalker (Darth Vader) from the Vintage Collection.
PROS: The definitive ROTS Anakin/Pre-Suit Vader. Takes the TAC version and gives it the arm articulation it deserved all along. New head sculpt is pretty sweet too.
CONS: None.
