CW44 Ahsoka: Ahsoka Tano first appeared in this outfit in the episode "Heroes on Both Sides" and has been wearing it ever since. It will most likely be her main gear from that episode until the end of the series. Ahsoka is a fairly well articulated figure, with articulation in pretty much everywhere except the ankles. Though the lack of ankle articulation matters not, as she stands without it anyway. Detail is really good on her, I especially love the way Hasbro detailed the parts of her skin showing on any parts skin is showing on her body. Another great detail-wise part is, Hasbro have FINALLY perfected an Ahsoka face/head sculpt! It is an absolutely fantastic sculpt, and looks very true to the character. Accessories she comes with are, her long lightsaber, her shoto lightsaber, and hilts for both of her lightsabers. I'm going to rate Ahsoka at 10/10, Hasbro really improved on past Ahsoka figures with this one, some nice accessories, and the detail on her is top notch.

CW45 Anakin Skywalker: Anakin, like Ahsoka, first wore this outfit in "Heroes on Both Sides" and will always wear it from then onwards. Anakin is fairly well articulated, just missing the key ankle articulation, and it shows often, as the figure can struggle to stand without the ankles. Detail is pretty good, but not great. The Jedi robes Anakin wears are sculpted and detail perfectly, especially the way the part over his legs can be pulled up for a pretty neat feature. However, the detail is let down by the face sculpt, it just looks really awful. Hasbro have messed up all their Anakin face sculpts in the Clone Wars line, so I'm honestly not surprised at that. Accessories are his normal blue lightsaber, and a rather cool accessory, which is a metal/Droid arm. This is an arm based off what is underneath Anakin's glove when it is taken of, as Anakin got part of that arm cut off by Dooku. I'm going to rate Anakin at 7/10. Pretty cool Anakin figure, the best in the line so far! Though it could do with improvements. I'm taking a mark each off for the lack of ankle articulation, the face sculpt, and he just can't get a grip on his weapon, which can get frustrating.

CW46 Aqua Droid: The Aqua Droids debut, and so far their only appearance to date is in the episode "ARC Troopers". Although they will be making a return in season 4 of the series. Articulation on the badass new Separatist Droid is perfect, plenty of articulation on all sorts of places on the figure, and it really is great, as Hasbro often cheat us on articulation with figures, before releasing better articulated versions later in the line. Detail on this figure is great. I love how Hasbro superbly managed to detail in that red eye on his head. The figure itself has a ton of great detail, and a lot of blue paint-job. His sole accessory is a removable blaster on his arm, which is pretty cool that it's removable, as I believe many presumed Hasbro would just glue it into the figures arm. I'm going to rate the Aqua Droid at 8/10, really nice figure, stunning detail, only reason I'm taking marks off is because the figure literally can't stand. It gets quite frustrating easily.

CW47 El-Les: El-Les has so far only appeared in the episode "Clone Cadets" which was the premiere episode of season 3. El-Les was portrayed as being an unusual Bounty Hunter. Articulation is fairly good on this new figure. El-Les only lacks ankle articulation, which Hasbro are getting into an annoying habit of not including it. His great arm articulation though allows for great weapon poses. Detail is really cool on El-Les, he has a totally new head sculpt, which totally awesome, and I really like it. The torso gear has some nice colours to it as well. Accessory wise, he comes with a decent blaster pistol, and a rather annoying sniper rifle, but I'll come to that later. I'm going to rate El-Les at 8/10. He has a really nice face sculpt, some great detail, and I really like the pistol as well. Only reason I'm taking marks off, one due to the lack of ankle articulation. The other is because of the sniper rifle. While it's a slick design, it just is so annoying to fit into his hand, and not worth the effort. I highly recommend you pick him up however, as it's rare to get a new species figure in the line with all the Clones and that sort, so this is a great figure.

CW48 Clone Commander Wolffe: Wolffe made his debut in the episode "Rising Malevolence", although he didn't wear his Clone armour in that episode. He has appeared in several episodes since then. This figure is based on how he looked in "R2 Come Home". Articulation is perfect as it's not in the Stone sculpt, so he even has ankle articulation, which is always welcome. The arms allow for great weapon poses. Detail is really fantastic, Hasbro have matched every part of Wolffe's appearance in the show onto the figure, and I love the inclusion of Wolffe's cybernetic eye, which makes him rather unique. Some really great markings on Wolffe. Accessories are two DC-17 blaster pistols, which fit snugly into his holsters, a DC-15 blaster and a rocket launcher. I'm going to rate Wolffe at 10/10. I love this figure, it's a kit-bash/re-paint of the Rex and Cody figures, but makes up the errors they both had. Some great detail on him, a great helmet detail, some nice accessories, and a lovely face sculpt. This isn't your average Clone re-paint. If there's one must get Clone figure, it's this one, definitly...
