PROS: Aurra Sing gets an all-new sculpt for 2012 and it’s a great one. She features most of the necessary articulation collectors require (except ankle joints). The figure not only has a great design but is loaded with weapons and a cool trophy case to house the lightsaber hilts from her past kills. As a bonus, if you have trouble finding her at Walmart, she will be available later in the Vintage Collection.
CONS: Lacks ankle articulation.

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.

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.

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.

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.

PROS: This set provides collectors with 3 new clones not offered previously, making it the real attraction of this particular assortment (the other two case mates are are laughably bad). The paint apps for each clone are well done (aside from Hardcase’s helmet deco being off slightly). The game cards get a refreshed design for 2012 and now invoke more of a trading card feel with large character portraits on one side with the game matrix on the reverse.
CONS: The figures themselves are great, some might protest the utilization of the “Stone” mold for 2 of the troopers but it is what it is. It is a bit disappointing that the Bomb Squad Trooper doesn’t include any actual bomb accessories.

For those that placed their orders for the ToysRUs Exclusive Podracer Pilots sets, be on the lookout as they are hitting doorsteps. I received mine yesterday and you can get a preview of our pending toyguide update by heading to our Facebook page.
And for those curious, the included flags/banners are all plastic with the flag itself being a thin mylar sheet about the thickness of a piece of copy paper.
PROS: A solid sculpt from the TLC Evolution set makes for a great release on the Vintage card. The perfect accompaniment to the Kmart exclusive B-Wing Fighter.
CONS: The relatively unexciting nature of the figure, coupled with it shipping on two different cardbacks pretty much guaranteed this figure “pegwarmer” status. Keyan Farlander again? Really?
