PROS: A long time request has been knocked off the must have list of figures. Great sculpt on the outfit which is further enhanced with a light paint wash that makes the uniform details “pop”.
CONS: Odd shoulder joint/sculpt overemphasizes the “poofy” shoulders of the outfit in certain poses. The transition from the jacket collar to neck is oddly sculpted – almost as if a detail was inadvertently left off.

PROS: A solid update to the OTC version with more than enough articulation, great overall sculpt and use of soft goods.
CONS: Obviously the cape strap is the glaring offender here, but don’t pass on this figure solely because of that. Ball-joint hip articulation seems a bit of overkill and distracts from the overall esthetic.

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of AT-RT Driver from the Vintage Collection’s Wave 6.
PROS: Completely retooled figure improves upon the original without making the 6 year old version obsolete. Loaded with articulation enabling him to better pilot his mount. New weapons are awesome and the new head sculpt should be the new standard for all clones going forward.
CONS:Shoulder pad armor is a bit restrictive when trying to position the arms out to the figure’s side.

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of Clone Trooper (Phase I) from the Vintage Collection’s Wave 6. PROS: Hasbro goes back to the drawing board and creates a totally new and more accurate clone trooper. Loaded with articulation including ball-jointed wrists and hips. The facial expression on the new head sculpt is superb as is the paint treatment for the new weapon molds.
CONS: Sticks out like a sore thumb when compared to previous generations of clone troopers, but don’t let that stop you from buying one (or more).

PROS: A very nice rework of last year’s Snowspeeder Luke. The head sculpt is one of the best ever in terms of Mark Hamill’s likeness in TESB. The darker fightsuit helps to convey the “wet look” even without additional weathering deco. The incorporation of the holster (with leg strap) is really well executed.
CONS: Retooled gloveless forearms make the arms seem a bit long. Should be a little more dirty (especially the helmet) considering he just crashed into a slimy mud hole.

PROS: Another great set of characters from the popular “Landing at Point Rain” episode from Season 2. With the rising cost of individual basic figures, these 2 packs are far more attractive than before. The Special Ops Clone Trooper has a great overall design with signature “Leia Buns” helmet. The Geonosian Drone too, has a great sculpt highlighted by a very nice paint job that almost passes for a realistic (non-animated) figure.
CONS: The only thing that could have made this set better is if Hasbro would have included a backpack for the Clone Trooper as most of the Special Ops Troopers wore them in this particular episode.

PROS: Another Amidala outfit is crossed off the want-list! Excellent sculpt and ornate paint apps – especially on the main body. The interchangeable headdresses are a nice touch as is the removable soft goods. Inclusion of the blaster, though superfluous, is a nice bonus too.
CONS: Color of the outfit looks a bit off as this looks more “butterscotch” than “mustard” – hardly worth passing over for this assessment though.

PROS: Throw your 2002 version in the dumpster, ’cause this one is definitely the best (and last) version you’ll ever need. Great fabric and tailoring for the poncho.
CONS: Hair color seems to be a bit dark – a light “highlight” wash would remedy that though.

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of Obi-Wan Kenobi from the Vintage Collection’s Attack of the Clones wave.
PROS: Hasbro took the awesome 2009/2010 Legacy Collection sculpt and improved the deco, gave him a Jedi robe and corrected the paint deco to the lightsaber hilt.
CONS: Still, no extra lightsaber hilt to attach to his belt.
