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.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.
New AOTC Carded Images at Sandtroopers

New Vehicle with Figure Pack Revealed
Our sponsor, Big Bad Toy Store has posted a ton of new pre-orders on their site today and within the updates, they’ve revealed a new Clone Wars “Deluxe” vehicle with figure set that includes a BARC Speeder with Clone Trooper “Jesse”, as depicted in “The Deserter” episode from Season 2. Head to BBTS to pre-order yours today!
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.

UPDATE – Clone Wars Nikto Guard
This exclusive figure has now been found at retail! Specifically, at a Toys”R”Us in central Iowa by forumite Grimace.
UPDATE 9/26 – Thanks to Paulskywalker for some great up close pics of this figure loose – be sure to check them out HERE.
Upcoming Exclusives on eBay
A couple of upcoming exclusive figures have turned up on eBay recently – Ysanne Isard and Geonosis C-3PO.
Both figures look great, and hopefully it won’t be too long before these are officially out. But until then if your patience gets the best of you, you can get them a bit early.
The Return of Clone Cash
Yakface Forum Member “darth_sidious” reports that upon opening his newest Clone Wars wave 3 figures, he discovered the return of the $5 Clone Cash coupons valid toward the purchase of a vehicle. As you may recall, Clone Cash was inserted into Clone Wars figures last year when the packaging changed over and I guess it was successful enough to warrant a return.
