2008 Clone Wars Figures Wave 1:

Ok so here is what I think of the first ever wave of Clone Wars figures from 2008 (Except for R2-D2 and General Grievous. R2-D2 because I don't collect Astromechs and Grievous because I haven't had the chance to pick any version of him up yet)
Clone Trooper: A very good troop building figure. Helmet mold could have been better and a little less hard but other than that, a very good figure for picking up several of to bust some clankers! The rocket launcher is pretty useful as well.

Captain Rex: One of my least favourite Clones released... The helmet is too squishy and soft, Rex's head doesn't look right and he looks very stupid. Only thing that saves this figure is the excellent work on the detail and printing on his helmet and body armour. Overall when the next Captain Rex figure comes out I hope that they work on seriously improving the entire figure...

Yoda: A very good little Jedi figure based on the character we know who likes to say everything differently! A good addition to any army especially if you get Rys, Jek and Thire. Accesories included are a cane that he uses in the show and a force thing that I think is meant to be used for "Force Push"...

Obi-Wan Kenobi: At the time this Obi-Wan figure came out I thought it was one of the best Star Wars figures I had ever gotten. Alas, 3 years later it is now probably my least favourite Clone Wars figure (Except for the Astromechs). The whole figure is stiff, barely any articulation and hard to move, well anything! Once I realised this and looked up a good review of 2011 Obi-Wan Kenobi I knew that figure was at least 5000 times better than this one. To round off a terrible figure, the 2 accesories (A Clone helmet and the jetpack) would either barely or not fit on this figure!

Anakin Skywalker: Probably the best figure of this wave and even it wasn't anything excellent. The articulation was good, the detail on the robes was excellent as well but the head sculpt was the worst part of this figure and it was pretty poor (Admittedly not as bad as the 2011 version's head sculpt). Accesories are cables for climbing cliffs and a force thing.

Battle Droid: Like with the Clone Trooper figure, it is a great troop building figure. Not a rare figure and very easy for Hasbro to make so nothing special really about this figure. Accesories are a rocket launcher and a back plate thingy that attatches easily to the Battle Droids back...
