Ok, so here are my thoughts on the 2010 Clone Wars battle pack "Hostage Crisis".
Commando Droid: This battle pack comes with two different Commando Droids! Both of which are excellent! There isn't much difference between both specialized Commando Droids that were designed by Cad Bane. The only difference between both is different markings on the head. An example of which is one has two lines on it's head and the other has one. I rate these Commando Droids at 9/10, worthy additions to the Droid army!
Shahan Alama: Probably my least favourite figure from this pack. He's not a terrible figure, just... bland and boring. He has very minimal articulation, only in his knees and right arm. The design is well done by Hasbro and he looks spot on to his Clone Wars outfit. The head looks decent as well. He comes with a knife and blaster pistol. I rate this figure at 6/10.
Robonino: Hate the character, but the figure isn't so bad and I actually like the figure! He is very well sculpted and detailed for such a small figure. He only has arm articulation. He comes with some sort of stun pistol. His head is well done by Hasbro and very accurate, especially the black piece over one eye. He also comes with a backpack to keep explosives in like in the episode. I rate this figure at 7/10
Ok, so here are my thoughts on the 2010 Clone Wars battle pack "Anti-Hailfire Squad".
Clone Trooper: There are two of these figures in this battle pack. This re-painted Clone Trooper is decent. They are specially designed in the colours of "Bantha Squad". The markings all over the figure is excellent. They both come with DC-15 blaster rifles. One also comes with a sort of cannon with a flick-fire launcher. These are decent Clone Troopers to add to your collection/Clone Army. I rate these Clone's at 7/10.
Aerial Recon Trooper: This is a sweet Clone figure! He is the only Clone in this pack that has a removable helmet. His helmet markings remind me of Clone Trooper Mixer's from "Voyage Of Temptation" in season 2 except in green colour. He also comes with a really nice movable visor which I really like. Apart from the helmet markings, the markings are similar to those of the other Clone's in this battle pack. The face is well scuplted except for his eyes always seem to be looking up and not straight. I rate this Clone at 9/10.
Tank Gunner Commander: This is also a really good Clone figure! I really like the helmet mold on this Clone. The soft kama is also really nice plus those new pistols fit really snugly into the holsters on this figure. The markings are different to all the other Clone figures in this battle pack. I rate this awesome Clone Commander figure at 8/10, a removable helmet would have been nice for this one!
Ok, here are my thoughts on the first Clone Wars wave of 2010 (Except for General Grievous as i'm not getting that version of Grievous).
Aurra Sing: This figure has lots of articulation! In total, it has amkle, knee, elbow and shoulder articulation. Aurra Sing made her Clone Wars debut in the season one finale episode "Hostage Crisis". Aurra Sing comes with two blaster pistols and a sniper rifle. The sniper rifle is very well sculpted. The pistols are also done well. This figure is very accurate to her Clone Wars appearance except for my only gripe with this figure that the antenna is nowhere near what it is in the Clone Wars series. I rate this figure at 8/10, a definite addition to the Bounty Hunters!
Mandalorian Police Officer: I really can't believe this figure is a pegwarmer! It is a good troop builder and it is pretty decent. Not great but still a pretty nice figure. The Mandalorian Police Officer debuted in the episode "The Mandalore Plot". It is totally accurate to it's appearance in the series. You can pull down the visor over his face. It only has elbow and a bit of shoulder articulation. He comes with a shield and baton. The shield also has something similar to a launcher that can attatch to the shield. I rate this figure at 6/10, worthy of at least one buy.
Pre Vizsla: By far the best figure in this wave! I felt he was an awesome character in his debut in "The Mandalore Plot". The figure is awesome as well! He comes with a Mandalorian helmet which he designed himself and is well done by Hasbro, It is also removable helmet. He comes with a darksaber like he used in his duel against Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. He also comes with a Mandalorian blaster. His face and armour is well designed. He also comes with a jetpack and a cape. He has ankle, knee, elbow and shoulder articulation. I rate this figure at 9/10, a must have!
Ok, so here are my thoughts on the Clone Wars 2010 exclusive "Kul Teska" figure.
This is a pretty good figure in my opinion! He has good articulation in his shoulders and knees. There is also good movement in his feet. Teska is very accurate to his appearance in the video game "Clone Wars: Republic Heroes". It is possible to pull down those straps near his head to reveal his hidden missiles. You can pull out part of his right arm which is pretty neat. I rate this figure at 8/10 and you should definitly add him to the army!
Ok, so here are my thoughts on the 2010 Clone Wars exclusive "Nikto Guard" figure.
This is a decent figure but has a lack of articulation. The only articulation this figure has is in the elbows. The Nikto Guard figure comes with a blaster pistol and a removable hat that fits nicely into his head and can also be kept off. The detail on this figure is good. The head is well done by Hasbro and is very accurate. I rate this figure at 6/10 but it would have been better if it had more articulation.
Ok, so here are my early thoughts on the upcoming mini-rig from the Clone Wars "ARF Trooper with AT-RT Walker"
This is a great pack for people who like troop building! The ARF is a really neat design and I like the look of it a lot! According to the pack of the packaging, this ARF is in Clone Captain Keeli's squad which indicates the markings he has. He comes with a DC-15 blaster. The AT-RT is also a neat design and is one of the better AT-RT designs I have seen Hasbro make. The fact that it has part of the helmet markings off Captain Keeli indicates we will almost certainly get a Keeli figure at some point. The card of the ARF Trooper has the background of a scene in "Supply Lines" which definitly indicates the ARF is supposed to be in Keeli's squad. Right now I rate this mini-rig at 8/10 but that could change!
Ok, so here are my early thoughts on the upcoming Clone Wars mini-rig "Clone Trooper Buzz with Barc speeder".
I really like the look of this new mini-rig! This mini-rig is based on the Clone Wars episode "Legacy Of Terror". The Buzz figure looks good, his markings are spot on. Not one of the most interesting Clone re-paints, but he is a Clone and I try to collect all the Clones so he is a must for me! His helmet markings are great but compared to the Draa figure, he isn't really that great. Buzz comes with a DC-15 blaster rifle. The Barc speeder is a simple re-paint and is a good troop building speeder for growing your own Republic army and I like the Barc speeder. Right now I rate this mini-rif at 7/10 but my thoughts could change!
