The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of Aurra Sing from the Clone Wars Collection.
PROS: One of the best figures in the entire Star Wars line, not just the Clone Wars segment. She is wonderfully articulated, accessorized and captures the unique design style of the animated series perfectly.
CONS: The antenna on her head is a little wonky and too close to the center of her head. A bit of silver/gray paint would have gone a long way toward improving it.

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of the MagnaGuard from the Vintage Collection.
PROS: The definitive mangaguard. Awesome use of articulation and incorporation of soft goods. The deco is top notch as is the new electrostaff.
CONS: None really, other than once you buy one, you’ll want another, and another and another and….

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.

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PROS: Although we’ve been inundated with this figure sculpt for 5 years, it is still a solid mold without being overtly outdated.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.

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of the Toys”R”Us exclusive Nikto Guard from the Clone Wars Collection.
PROS: Finally, we’ve received the figure that was originally intended to be included with the Clone Wars Jabba’a Palace Battle Pack from 2008. A great looking figure all around and well accessorized.
CONS: Lack of articulation in the legs limits poses available and the pre-posed leg positioning tends to make this figure unstable. A rather generic figure for an exclusive and the $10+ pricepoint might hamper this figure’s sell-through at retail.

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.

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.

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of General Grievous (Battle Damaged) from the Clone Wars Collection.
PROS: A great second attempt from Hasbro in bringing us a correctly scaled and highly articulated droid general. Interchangeable and removable parts are fun. Legs seem to be holding up rather well in the warping department.
CONS: Shoulder plates fall off far too easily – even with the slightest of arm movement.
