\"2013_CW01_preview\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Yakface Toyguide<\/a>\u00a0updates resume today with a special series covering the 2013 \u201cforeign exclusive\u201d\u00a0assortment of\u00a0Clone Wars<\/a>\u00a0figures. At first blush, you may think that we were only missing out on some simple repacks and repaints, but that is not the case \u2013 there is a fair amount of \u201cnew\u201d to be had.\u00a0We\u2019ve teamed up with our friends at\u00a0Jedi Temple Archives<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0to run down the details and minutia of this final wave of animated series-style figures.<\/p>\n

We continue on with the addition of\u00a0Obi-Wan Kenobi\u00a0(CW01)<\/a>\u00a0which gets a much-welcomed articulation upgrade for 2013.<\/p>\n

PROS:<\/strong>\u00a0Hasbro has taken the 2012 figure and improved on it greatly by way of a revised deco from top to bottom and, most importantly, the addition of swivel wrists – a must for most Jedi figures. They went so far as to retool the forearms and hands making this figure markedly better than the previous version<\/a>.<\/p>\n

CONS:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0It appears that the addition of the POA (points of articulation) and revised paint apps has eaten into the accessory allotment for this release as Obi-Wan only includes his ignited lightsaber. I, for one, would have loved the inclusion of his Rako Hardeen helmet or how cool would an Obi-Wan in Mandalorian Super Commando armor figure have been. Missed opportunities all around.\u00a0Due to the figure’s exclusivity (i.e. not available in the US) tracking one down may required a bit more effort and be prepared to pay twice the MSRP when all is said and done.<\/p>\n

Head to the toyguide<\/a>\u00a0for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection and be sure to check out JTA\u2019s full\u00a0Research Droids Review<\/a>\u00a0for this figure as well.<\/p>\n

You can also weigh in with your impressions on the figures we add to our toyguide on\u00a0facebook<\/a>\u00a0and in our\u00a0forums.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
