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. We\u2019ve teamed up with our friends at <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jeditemplearchives.com\/\">Jedi Temple Archives<\/a><\/strong> to run down the details and minutia of this final wave of animated series-style figures.<\/p>\n<p>We continue on with the addition of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yakfaceforums.com\/TGuide2004\/html\/TCW13\/basic_figures\/CW03.html\">Captain Rex (CW04)<\/a> &#8211; who gets an articulation update, a revised deco as well as a brand new gun.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PROS:<\/strong> Hasbro has addressed one of the major complaint that collectors had about the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yakfaceforums.com\/TGuide2004\/html\/TCW12\/basic_figures\/CW13.html\">previous version<\/a> of this figure. The legs now feature ball-jointed knees making dynamic poses possible. Hasbro also introduced a new Z-6 rotary cannon accessory that is not only more to scale with the figure, but also features a (manually) rotating barrel and articulated handle and grip.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CONS:<\/strong> Despite it&#8217;s gain in articulation, the deco (for me) is a step backward as I like the battle-worn treatment the previous version had and the omission of some of the &#8220;kill marks&#8221; seems like a very unnecessary revision.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yakfaceforums.com\/TGuide2004\/html\/TCW13\/basic_figures\/CW04.html\">Head to the toyguide<\/a> for 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 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jeditemplearchives.com\/content\/modules.php?name=JReviews&#038;rop=showcontent&#038;id=1388\/\">Research Droids Review<\/a> for this figure as well.<\/p>\n<p>You can also weigh in with your impressions on the figures we add to our toyguide on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Yakfacecom\/202559486798?ref=mf\">facebook<\/a> and in our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yakfaceforums.com\/\">forums.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with a special series covering the 2013 \u201cforeign exclusive\u201d assortment of Clone Wars figures.
