Jodo Kast (Bounty Hunter) (K-Mart Exclusive)
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of the K-Mart Exclusive Jodo Kast (Bounty Hunter)
PROS: A major improvement over the first attempt back in 2008. Great detailing on the armor/jumpsuit and the sculpt selection couldn’t have been better.
CONS: None really unless you live in an area without a K-Mart. A bloodied face paint job would have really put this figure over the top. Helmet is a little snug which lends itself to deforming over the head (especially over the nose). Ships with the belt assembled backward but easily correctable if you are an opener.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.

CW08 Pre Vizsla
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of the Mandalorian Death Watch leader: Pre Vizsla (CW08).
PROS: Awesome figure all around. Primo articulation and sculpt – one of the best figures in the entire Clone Wars line.
CONS: Like many modern day Mandalorian figures, the jetpack doesn’t stay attached very well.

Announcing the Build-A-Droid Galactic Swap Meet at Celebration V
Hasbro will be hosting the Galactic Swap Meet at the Hasbro booth at Celebration V! Bring your surplus Build-a-Droid parts and trade with us, and other fans, as our booth becomes the hub for some serious droid-part-swapping!
We will have a limited supply of complete parts available for 14 of the buildable droids from the Legacy/Droid Factory basic figure line (see attached poster for exact droids we will have). Just bring your extra Legacy/Droid Factory parts and trade them 1-for-1 for parts you need to complete your unfinished droids.
Even if you don’t see the droids for which you need parts on the list, bring what you have anyway….there’s always a chance that another fan will have what you need.
To ensure that as many people as possible can complete their droids, we ask that only 2 Droid pieces be exchanged per person per day.
Updated: Saga Legends (SL12) Obi-Wan Running Change
It looks like Hasbro heard our cries about the initial mold chosen for the Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Saga Legends line. As you may have seen, the first shipments of this figure included a repack of the mold first used in 2003 Saga line as the Outlander Nightclub version. New cases shipping now look to have switched this figure out for the more respectable 2008 TAC mold. No word yet if a similar upgrade to the Jango Fett is in the works.
Daniel Logan’s Twitter Page Confirms Slave I
Daniel Logan’s (aka Boba Fett in AOTC and The Clone Wars) Twitter posting further confirms the upcoming Slave I that Hasbro conveniently omitted from SDCC after it was revealed/spoiled onSandtroopers.com. Hasbro sent Daniel a swag package full of Boba Fett themed merchandise. Click the photo above to check it out!
TCW Kul Teska (TRU Exclusive)
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of the Toys”R”Us Exclusive Clone WarsKul Teska
PROS:Despite its immense size, Hasbro managed to pack all the articulation and sculpted details that we’ve become accustomed to on figures a third of its stature. The unique packaging also sets this figure apart from the basic figure line.
CONS: If you haven’t played the game, I doubt you know who this dude is. The $14.99 price point is a bit high but considering it uses enough plastic to make two and a half figures, I guess it seems about right.
