Major Variants
*First Day of Issue foil stickers were added to assortments of The Legacy Collection Wave 1 and The Clone Wars Wave 1 figures. Each figure exists with and without the sticker. Also, the “Star Wars” logo on the front of the FDOI cards has a metallic finish.
*When released as part of Wave 2, this figure had a “clean” paint finish. It lacked the weathering of the first version.
Notes
*Unlike The Legacy Collection which has codes for the numbering system (BD, GH, SL), The Clone Wars line is numbered simply: No. 1, No. 2, etc…

This is a good figure.
It’s got a good sculpt (though I don’t like the animated look) accurate to the animated character.
He’s got a nice shart paint job, particularly with the weathering. I think this is a great step forward for Hasbro, and immediately implore Hasbro to carry this on with their realistic line. I love it! Far superior to the random black scratches that pass for battle damage now. Especially when you army build, having every clone with the same giant black scuff mark on his left thigh is silly.
The figure has awesome articulation. He’s got it everywhere, including the ball jointed wrists and waist. The only thing I know of that he is missing is ball jointed hips.
He comes with a blaster that has a great metallic weathered paint job. Same for the ginormous bazooka he comes with, which launches the rocket with the push of a button (vs. the “tap the back end of it” method) . He just doesn’t hold this weapon very well, however.
He’s very well done, I’m just not a fan of the line. I’ll give it an 8, and ask that Hasbro include this articulation and weathering on future realistic clone releases.
