Hasbro Possible To Make Clone Wars Figures no.9

41 ARC Trooper Echo:
Should this version of Echo be made, I believe it may have to be a bit of a kit-bash as well as re-paint. The reason being, that Hasbro must include a removable helmet with this one. So, Hasbro would just need to kit-bash the current ARC Trooper helmet into a removable one. Detail, I hope it would be good. Hasbro did a great job on the 501st version, and would just need to carry that over into this one. Articulation, same as the Blitz and Colt figures, with that specialized full articulation for them. Accessories could be a DC-15 blaster, two DC-17 pistols, and maybe one of those Commando Droid shields. I'd be really surprised and gutted if Hasbro don't make this, and make it right, as Echo is a favourite of mine. I'd say we should see a basic figure release next year.
42 ARC Trooper Fives:
Again, Fives would have to be kit-bashed with a removable helmet to keep me happy. Detail-wise, like Echo, they did a superb job on the 501st version, and I hope a version of this would be just as good. Articulation, again, same as Blitz and Colt. Accessories, similar to Echo with a DC-15 blaster and two DC-17 pistols, but could also include a hologram of Clone Captain Rex. I'd say we can expect Fives in the basic line next year as well.
43 Citadel Commando Droid
This has got to be my favourite Commando Droid model so far in the show! So I really hope it gets made, and that Hasbro do a good job on it if it is. Detail, I expect a really good paint-job should this be made, as it has some really bright and awesome colours.  Articulation, very-well articulated like the other Commando Droids. Accessories, I'd say two E-11 blasters, and one of the shields pictured above. I could see a basic figure, mini-rig and/or battle pack release for this one!
44 K2-B4
I reckon this Tactical Droid would look very interesting as a figure! Some pretty nice colours on this one. Detail, should K2-B4 get made, it would need a really good paint-job considering all the purple and yellow colours. Articulation, same as the other two Tactical Droid figures. Accessories, a E-11 blaster, hologram of Osi Sobeck and maybe a table with a map of the Citadel. I'd be surprised if this gets made, but maybe a battle pack release could happen.
45 Security Battle Droid:
This would be nice to see in animated form, given the movie versions of it. Detail, shouldn't be too hard, all Hasbro would need to do is add red paint to a normal Battle Droid. Articulation, either the sculpt with or without knees will appear. Preferably the one with knees. Accessories, probably two E-11 blasters. Also perhaps an Anooba. Again, I'd be surprised if this is released, but I would pick one up. Perhaps a battle pack or mini-rig release...

Hasbro Possible To Make Clone Wars Figures no.8

36 Greedo:
Greedo would have to be an all-new sculpt should Hasbro make him. Detail-wise, I hope for some some good detail should Hasbro make Greedo, especially on the head-sculpt, as that would have to be an all-new head-sculpt and face-sculpt in the line. Articulation would most likely be everything except the ankles, with bending knees. Accessory-wise, I expect they would include the blaster in the above picture, maybe a spare one too. Also that thing that one of Papanoida's daughters hit him with. Plus a random bulky accessory to go with the figure. I'd like to see Greedo made, as he would add something different to the line. But I don't see much chance for him, but maybe in the basic-line, if made.
37 Sugi:
Sugi would have to be an all-new sculpt if made. No kit-bash from the other Zabrak figures in the line (Savage Opress figures) as she is smaller and much different to the Savage Opress figures. Detail-wise, I hope she has an excellent face-sculpt, plus for the head I hope they include the horn mold from Savage Opress, which had a harder, better horn mold. Articulation, very similar to the CW35 Padme Amidala, and without ankles of course, but everything else. Accessories: her blaster shown in the picture, a EE-3 carbine rifle and her vibroblade. Hopefully Hasbro get around to making her, she was a really cool Bounty Hunter, plus they already have Embo and Seripas made. She could come in the basic line, or mini-rig with a mini version of her ship, the Halo (Well, they made a mini version of the Y-Wing, so why not?).
38 Rumi Paramita:
Rumi Paramita would have to be an all-new sculpt, considering her species has never been made in figure form before. Detail-wise, I hope for some nice detail, I'd say Hasbro would make her hood stuck to her head, as I don't recall she took her hood down. It would certainly be interesting to see Hasbro try to do the detail on this one. Articulation-wise, everything except the ankles, as per usual. Accessories could be her blaster pistol and blaster rifle, both wielded in the episode. I don't see much chance of us seeing this one, Rumi only appeared in one episode as more of an "obscure" character, and she died. I can't see Hasbro releasing this one. Pity, it could make for a great figure.
39 Chata Hyoki:
Chata Hyoki would also have to be an all-new sculpt should he get made. Detail-wise, I hope Hasbro would do a really good job on this category, as Hyoki has a lot of detail to him, especially on the head. Articulation-wise, I don't except much here, if knees were included, they would likely be similar to those of CW53 Plo Koon, and not bending ones. Accessories, could be his small hand knife, also removable parts to his armour, such as removable wrist blasters and grappling spike launcher. I'd be surprised, yet pleased, should Hasbro make this one, considering how they are with "once-off characters" so chances are we won't see him. However, he could still appear as a basic figure or in a mini-rig.
40 Aurra Sing (Assasin Gear):
Should Hasbro make this one, it will most likely be a straight-out re-paint of the current Aurra Sing figure released last year. Detail-wise, I hope Hasbro would do a good job on the new colours to this Aurra Sing, especially the detail on her eyes, with those dark parts to it. Articulation, exact same as the other Aurra Sing figure. Accessories, again likely the same as the other Aurra figure, but an extra Hasbro made-up one maybe. Considering how small this gear is and not appearing very much, I don't see any chance for it. Unless there was to be a battle pack of the episode, then Aurra Sing could be re-painted into it...

Hasbro Possible To Make Clone Wars Figures no.7

31 Dar:
Should Hasbro make Dar, he would have to be an all-new sculpt. I really hope Hasbro do make at least a few of the Trandoshans, they were really cool, and I'd hope to see Dar amongst any ones made. Detail-wise, all new-sculpt, so it would have to impress collectors a lot. I hope Hasbro would study the attachments closely on him, such as the ammunition holders on his shirt and shorts. Articulation, all the neccessary except any ankle articulation. Hasbro would cheat us out of that again. Accessories, a couple of Trandoshan guns, one would be his hunting rifle, and maybe two Trandoshan shotguns. Should Hasbro make Dar, I would say a basic figure release or in a mini-rig.
32 Lo-Taren:
Lo-Taren would also have to be an all-new sculpt. Detail-wise, I hope they would do a pretty nice-job, especially as Lo-Taren has a lot of colour to him, and a cool face design. Articulation, again everything except the ankles. Same as Dar in that department. Accessories, would actually be quite a lot! If I'm not mistaken, he used or held every single Trandoshan gun known during his two episodes. So, he could be given a stun blaster, shotgun, hunting rifle and/or the dual-wield Trandoshan pistols he used in the final battle. Preferably the stun blaster and pistols as those are what are most associated with him. A mini-rig appearance could be possible, but so could a battle pack (if they've made the mold already) or a basic figure release.
33 Sochek:
Sochek would definitly have to be an all-new sculpt, even if the likes of Garnac, Dar etc are made before him. This reason being, is because he has more a fat/chubby design on him, along with others like Gilas. Detail-wise, I hope they would incorporate his design quite well, and make sure they make him quite different-looking to the other ones, especially in the body area. Articulation, same as mentioned above for Dar and Lo-Taren. Accessories, probably a shotgun and hunting rifle, the two weapons he used throughout the two episodes. Perhaps even removable glasses/goggles as pictured above. Seen as Sochek is one of the lesser-known ones, there may not be much chance for him. So, a slim chance of either a battle pack or mini-rig release.
34 Tarfful:
Tarfful would most likely be a kit-bash of the recent CW63 Chewbacca figure. I hope they might give us a new sculpt, seen as the Chewbacca one just doesn't do it for me. Detail-wise, I hope they would do a great job, as I can be very picky with details, especially on a favourite species of mine. Tarfful has a lot of excellent detail, I especially like the thing on top of his head. Articulation, I'd expect the same as the Chewbacca figure. Accessories, I'd say the Wookiee weapons from the Chewbacca figure, and maybe one of those Wookiee weapons used by generic ones in "Wookiee Hunt". I hope for a basic release of this one in the future.
CW35 Wookiee Warrior:
Again, like Tarfful, these would more than likely be a kit-bash of CW63 Chewbacca if made. Detail-wise, I would hope for some good detail. Especially with the face sculpt, as that is an important part of a figure. Articulation, same as CW63 Chewbacca. Accessories, probably a Wookiee bowcaster from CW63 Chewbacca and one or two of the weapons in this picture. I also hope to see a basic figure release in the future for this one.

Hasbro Possible To Make Clone Wars Figures no.6

26 Padme Amidala (Battle Gear):

This Padme could be a kit-bash of the one from 2009, but I think this one would have to be an all-new sculpt. It does have rather big differences in comparison to how the 2009 one looked. Detail-wise, should this get made, I hope Hasbro put a lot of effort into detail for this one. There is a lot of really awesome paint applications, and some really nice parts like the holster and skirt part, that need to be designed right, and I think Hasbro could do a good job at it. Articulation, same as the 2009 CW35 Padme Amidala, without any ankle articulation. Accessories, her usual pistol which could fit in her holster, plus a spare pistol in case, as Hasbro sometimes put spare ones in with figures now. Hasbro probably would also throw a big, bulky accessory in here too. Cool accessories included would be holograms of Tarpals and Dooku, but that's highly unlikely. If made, I can see her getting a basic figure release.
27 General Tarpals:
General Tarpals would have to be an all-new sculpt, and no kit-bash's from Jar-Jar Binks, as from my point of view, there's no similarity in design in the Clone Wars between the two. Detail-wise, I hope they get it spot on, considering how the character has grown on me due to his epic performance in "Shadow Warrior". Those little whisker type things on his face, would be interesting to see Hasbro design those sometime. Articulation, I'd say the same as Jar-Jar Binks, but with bending knees included. Accessory wise, I'd say a couple of Gungan spears, a couple of Gungan energy balls, and possibly a hologram of Padme Amidala could be included. Should Hasbro make this, I'd see him slotted in the basic line...
28 Gungan Warrior:
Like Tarpals, I feel these would have to be an all-new sculpt. Detail-wise, I hope they do really well and get the colours right, Hasbro can often mess up on colours, but I'd love to see them giving a go to trying to capture the lighter/yellowish coloured ones pictured here. There are actually two variants of Gungan Warrior they could make, but I'd rather take the lighter coloured one above. Articulation, same as I posted for Tarpals above. Accessory-wise, also the same as Tarpals, but without the hologram of Padme. I believe we could see a Gungan Warrior in the foreseeable future, if not the yellow one. Perhaps in the basic line or mini-rig.
29 Magnaguard:

Hopefully, these Magnaguards will be re-paints of the early 2010 variation, and not the terrible first Clone Wars version in 2008. Detail-wise, I hope they get the colour of these spot on, the characters above are very bright, so hopefully Hasbro can re-create this, possibly making it into a kind of "glow-in-the-dark) feature. Articulation-wise, same as CW49 Magnaguard. Accessory-wise, a couple of electro-staffs that they use. Maybe re-straints for Anakin, but I'd say two electro-staffs is enough. I can see a basic figure release sometime.
30 Tactical Droid (Naboo):

This one would definitly be a re-paint should this one be made. Detail-wise, should Hasbro make it, I hope they get the colours right, as they did well on that part with the two previous Tactical Droid figures. Articulation, same as the other Tactical Droids. Accessory-wise, one E-11 blaster, maybe a couple of Hasbro made up accessory should it be in the basic line. I don't overall see much chance of this one getting made, but if it does, possibly a mini-rig with either a Flitknot Speeder or randon Hasbro vehicle...

Hasbro Possible To Make Clone Wars Figures no.5

21 Commander Fil:
Hasbro now have the helmet sculpt that Commander Fil had in the episode, with the flashlights. So they might as well use it, and the way to do that would be to finally give us Commander Fil. Ever since he appeared all the way back in season 1, I've been wanting a figure of him, which still hasn't been made. Detail-wise, he has got a lot of paint applications and markings on him, so Hasbro would need to do a really good paint-job to get all the colours and exact place of the markings right. Hopefully they would do well, should he be made. Articulation depends on the mold chosen. If Fil gets made, I would suspect the original mold would be chosen, as that is the mold with the figure that could be kit-bashed/re-painted for this one. The Clone from the Legacy of Terror DVD pack. Accessories, your usual Clone accessories. His two DC-17 pistols, plus a DC-15 blaster and maybe the rocket launcher included with Draa. At this late stage, I can't see Draa getting made. If he does, which is almost impossible. A basic figure release would be chosen.
22 Clone Corporal Comet:
Comet would be a very nice Clone character to make into a figure in my opinion. He has a pretty cool helmet design, plus he is from my favourite legion, the Wolfpack! Detail-wise, pretty much the CW48 Commander Wolffe body but without the pointy bit on his left arm and the kama. But pretty much a kit-bash of the rest of the body. Comet is one of my favourite clones, so should Hasbro make him, I really hope they get the helmet markings spot on. Articulation, I don't know why, but this one just strikes me as one they would give the Stone mold too. So, the articulation will depend on which mold is chosen. Accessories, a couple of DC-15 blasters, and a jetpack he used in "Padawan Lost" is what I could see Hasbro giving him. Should he get made, I think a basic figure release, or in a battle pack possibly.
23. Clone Trooper (Wolfpack):
I'm really surprised Hasbro haven't already given us a generic Wolfpack trooper. They appear more than most Clones made, plus they've been on the show longer than most as well. They've made almost every phase 1 Clone now, except for Wolfpack. So I hope for a phase 1 Wolfpack by the end of this year, early next year. Detail-wise, Wolfpack being my favourite legion, I would definitly be severe on any mistaken/mis-done detail on one of these guys if made. They would generally just use the body of Wolffe without the kama, and if Hasbro decided not to go with that I will be utterly speechless, and just make a new body design for them. Articulation, if they use the Wolffe body, it would then be the original mold, which I hope they give to any Wolfpack Clone made. Accessories, a jetpack, rocket launcher and two DC-15 blasters I'd say. I think a basic figure and/or battle pack release maybe...
24 Clone Trooper Dogma:
Considering that it is likely we will see different phase 2 clones before we potentialy see this one (Rex, generic etc) than this one would be a re-paint of other ones. Detail-wise, I don't know if Hasbro would include a removable helmet for this one. He has a face tatoo that I think would be very difficult for Hasbro to make into a figure, but props to them if they tried it, and gave us a figure like that, even if it's not entirely accurate. The helmet has a pretty neat design in my opinion, and I hope Hasbro would do it justice. Articulation, again vary's on which mold is used. The original with the full articulation, or the Stone mold to make the Clone represent how he appeared in the show. Accessory wise, I'd say a DC-15 blaster, a rocket launcher, as well as one of those things in the Dee Bradley Baker interview, where you see a Clone hit a button and whatever it was carries you somewhere. And a removable helmet, should they do the face tatoo and not leave it out. I could see a basic figure release for this one next year. If not, then in a mini-rig or battle pack.
25 Clone Trooper Tup:
Clone Trooper Tup will most likely just be a re-paint if Hasbro make him. Though I don't see why not, he appears to have a pretty basic design. Detail-wise, I would expect a removable helmet for him. All his head is, is a young Clone head with a blue type comma/tear on the right side of his face (right from Tup's point of view), and his helmet is pretty basic too. So, I don't see why Hasbro, if they make him, can't give him a removable helmet or get his markings wrong. Articulation, depends again on which mold they use. Accessory-wise, I'd say the same as I said above for Clone Trooper Dogma, except a definite on a removable helmet. I'd be really surprised if Hasbro didn't make Tup, a definite release soon I think. A basic figure release or mini-rig/battle pack I would say...

Hasbro Possible To Make Clone Wars Figures no.4

16. Riff Tamson:
Riff Tamson would absolutely have to be an all-new sculpt. As we have had nothing like him that could be kit-bashed/re-tooled from another figure. Detail-wise, Hasbro could do either a really bad job at this, or an amazing job at this. It's one or the other, it can't be anything else. A nice detailed feature they could would be snapping jaws, as the actual character likes to go around biting into characters. The body detail might be easy, main colours would be the Separatist ones with logos. The face sculpt would provide the main problem, should they make Tamson. Articulation, all the neccessary except ankle articulation as usual from Hasbro I'd expect. Or, as he has different feat to the usual figures, they might just give him ankles to add for more playability, but I'd expect not. They could throw in excellent arm articulation, so you could pose him like he would be floating. Accessories is the major problem with this one, as I can't think of anything to come with. One thing that strikes me, would be his torture devices at the start of "Prisoners". Either a couple of eels, or those "torture" machines that hold Padme and Jar-Jar. But I can't see them fitting both in. If made, I'd say a basic figure release.
17 Adi Gallia:
Adi Gallia would either be a kit-bash or an entirely new-sculpt. Kit-bash possibly with parts from other Jedi figures, with an all-new head on top. But I would rather they made an all-new sculpt for Gallia, her body is definitly different to that of other Jedi figures. Detail-wise, I would hope for exellent detail. The head sculpt especially, could be of a great design, but could also easily be messed up. The body shouldn't be too difficult to detail. Articulation, definitly everything except the ankles, with bending knees like CW44 Ahsoka or CW45 Anakin. Accessories, obviously her lightsaber. The other/other's could prove difficult. I'd say a Hasbro invention, or re-use of the glider in CW54 Saesee Tiin but in her starfighter's colours, could be a potential accessory.
18 ARF Commander Trauma:
Trauma would be a mix of a kit-bash and re-paint. Re-paint the regular ARF body, but then kit-bash involving the pauldron and kama and stick it onto the ARF body, as we haven't had a ARF Commander before, just regular ones. Detail-wise, I would hope for great detail. Trauma has a lot of different colours to him, and I would hope Hasbro would be able to detail all these colours in correctly, with the proper colour paint. Articulation, as he would be in the ARF body: it would definitly be the full articulation, including ankles. Accessories would be his DC-17 blaster pistols, a DC-15 blaster. Plus, a Hasbro invention I would say, or a Z-6 rotary cannon. I could see a basic release for this one...
19 Lux Bonteri (Cold Weather):
Lux Bonteri would have to be an all-new sculpt should he be made, which doesn't look likely. Detail-wise, I would hope for a lot of excellent detail done into this figure. Especially on that hat, I hope for excellent detail on his hat. I much prefer this Lux hear to his original one, it just looks more realistic. Articulation, same as either the recent Anakin or Ahsoka figures, without any ankle articulation. Accessories is the main problem with this one. Considering he will be with Death Watch, maybe a Mandalorian blaster or two. Also, a removable hat would be nice. Other than that, I'm not sure. I doubt this will be made at all, but perhaps in a mini-rig, packed in with either a Mandalorian speeder bike, or some form of speeder shown in that interview with Dee Bradley Baker.
20 Ahsoka Tano (Cold Weather):
This Ahsoka would most likely, if not definitly have to be an all-new sculpt. Considering that Ahsoka's snow gear is considerably different to that of the cold weather Jedi made so far, as well as that she is a female. Detail-wise, I hope it's extremely good. The most impressive thing about the recent CW44 Ahsoka was the amazing detail, and we finally had a good Ahsoka face sculpt! So, I hope for a similar or better face sculpt if this one is made. And I hope the cold weather gear is done, it looks amazing her cold weather gear. Articulation, either with the CW44 Ahsoka knees, or with the CW53 Plo Koon knees. One or the other I'd say, consideing it's a cold weather gear one. No ankles as usual. Accessories, this is easy to be honest. Her usual two lightsabers, possibly a removable cold weather hat, to reveal her full head. A cool addition would be to be able to take off the whole cold weather gear, to reveal the normal outfit one underneath. But I doubt that will happen, Hasbro will want this to be an entirely-different Ahsoka figure. I'm just gonna say flat out that this WILL be made, hopefully in early 2012. I can't see this being a question, we've gotten every cold weather Jedi after all, including ones not in the show! I'd look out for this one next year, definite basic figure release from my point of view.

Hasbro Possible To Make Clone Wars Figures no.3

Here is the third post on 'possible' figures for Hasbro to make. All from the Clone Wars season 4 premiere on Mon Calamari!
11. Anakin Skywalker (Scuba Gear):
Anakin would probably have to be an all-new sculpt should he be made in scuba gear. As we haven't seen any scuba gear figures yet. And also, the 2011 CW45 Anakin Skywalker was all-new, even though it would have been easier to make out of used parts. Detailing, the overall gear, such as the outfit, helmet etc would most likely be really good. However, Hasbro would likely mess the face sculpt up. None of the Anakin face sculpts in the Clone Wars line has even slightly resembled him, to be honest, so that wouldn't surprise me. Articulation would most likely be similar to CW45, or have some slight differences, but most likely no ankle articulation again. Accessories, would be his lightsaber, removable scuba helmet, and possibly backpack as well. Definitly a basic figure release for this one, and almost certainly re-packed in future packaging and battle packs.
12. Padme Amidala (Scuba Gear):
Padme would definitly require an all-new sculpt, to make her even slightly resemble the character pictured above, and to improve on the sculpt of the previous Padme's. Detailing would probably be great, as it has been on the previous Padme's. Only problem might be a slightly-off face sculpt, but hopefully Hasbro could improve on their face sculpt for Padme. Articulation would be the same as 2009 CW35 Padme Amidala, without any ankle articulation again. Accessories included could be her usual blaster pistol, with a holster to keep it in. As well as a removable scuba helmet and backpack for the scuba gear. I'm a bit unsure about this one, Hasbro tends not to want to release female characters into figures, unless they are Jedi, so they might not make this one. However, if they do, I'd say a basic figure release, or in a mini-rig.
13. Ahsoka Tano (Scuba Gear):
Ahsoka would probably have to be an all-new sculpt, given how her facial expressions in these episodes were much different than on her previous figures. Detailing would have to be excellent to impress me, as the detail on CW44 Ahsoka in 2011 was one of the best detailed figures (my opinion) in all my years of collecting. So more of the same or better would be neccessary for me to like a scuba gear version. Articulation would be the same as CW44 Ahsoka. Accessories included could be her two lightsabers, removable scuba helmet, a backpack and removable flippers. Hasbro will definitly release this one. Ahsoka is a popular figure, and Hasbro definitly want to keep this main character on the shelves, and releasing a scuba gear version is a great way to do that! Definitly a basic figure release, and re-packs in battle packs for this one.
14 Clone Commander Monnk:
Depending on whether they release a normal Scuba Clone first, Monnk would either be a re-paint with his excellent painting, or an entirely new-sculpt. Detailing should be excellent here, the main part to get the detail right would be the overall sculpt, and then the paint-apps here. I really like the markings on this character, so should he be made, I would hope that Hasbro do an excellent job on his detail. Articulation design for this Clone variation, should it be made as a figure, might have articulation similar to that of CW41 Hevy but either slightly better or slightly worse, but I feel Hasbro could go for the around texture of Hevy. Accessories could be that epic Scuba Clone gun in the picture. Other than that, I'm not too sure. Maybe removable parts of his gear, like they did with the 2008 Clone Space Trooper and 2011 Stealth Ops Clone Trooper. That would be nice to see. I could see a generic Scuba Clone get released, but I'm not too sure about Monnk. The design is great, hopefully he will get made though. If he does, I'd say a basic figure release.
15 Captain Ackbar:
Captain Ackbar would have to be an all-new sculpt. No re-tooling any parts of the 2009 Nahdar Vebb figure, as there are considerable and major differences between the two characters. Detailing shouldn't be too hard should Hasbro decide to make him. Most of the gear Ackbar wears is white, so that shouldn't be much of a threat to them. The face sculpt would pose the problem, and collectors would have Hasbro under pressure to get his face just right, as they messed up CW63 Chewbacca's face. Articulation, everything except ankle articulation I'd say, which would be a wreck, as they would have worked so hard again, but decide against ankle articulation. Accessories: This is a tricky one for Ackbar. The only one I can think of is possbly two of those Mon Calamari spear blasters they use in the episodes. Other than that, I can't think of any other accessories he could get, besides Hasbro inventing their own again. I'd say we should see him in the basic line sometime in 2012.
