Title: Clone Wars Wave 20 (aka 2011 Wave 1?)
Post by: McMetal on October 20, 2010, 09:10 AM
CW39 Hondo Ohnaka (Re-Pack)
CW40 Obi-Wan Kenobi
CW41 Clone Trooper Hevy (Training Armor)
CW42 Cad Bane w/TODO-360
CW43 R7-A7

Still seeking confirmation of there is anything new about Obi-Wan or Cad Bane, suspect both are previously uncarded versions from the deluxe sets...

Very bummed that they have still not found a slot for the Cad Bane in Clone Armor figure.  :(

Obi-Wan looks all new (note: no shoulder/chest armor) which is nice. Cad Bane looks like the larger deluxe sculpt but with the coat tails added all new.

The "not getting the figure right the first time" has gotten old. But I never got any Cad Bane, so...this might be the one!  ;)

I am very happy with the Deluxe on but I will have to pick this one up. I like the reduced armor look on Obi, they are bring it closer to EP3.

It seems odd to me that we'll now have 3 distinct Banes in the line, especially since the Deluxe version would work best for sitting in the upcoming Xanadu Blood. But I'll take that over another repack any day of the week.

Overall, I think this Wave is a somewhat inferior to the next two that are due up, but January/February should be slow months anyhow, so the timing is probably for the best. Anything new at that point will seem like a blessing.

It's funny how much more monumental and cool the Clone Wars reveal is, than the Vintage COllection figures.  4 figures, only one is a rehash, and he's even appealing and comes with TODO-360 as a bitchin' accessory.

Clone Wars Success, Vintage Collection Fail.

Well, that's the problem with the line(s) in a nutshell.  Nothing says how tired and drab the Vintage/movie line is than that new wave.  Now clearly it's a repaint wave and it's meant to cover some change they had to make, but wow.  Where is the new?  Yavin Han?  He's inaccurate.  If all the new we'll get is old figures on a new card, then yawn.  We know some very cool new figures are coming (Bom Vimdin) but these are few and far between and the movies have been strip mined.

Clone Wars - there's a lot of new.  It's fresh, exciting, and a collectible line in the truest sense of the word.  Nothing speaks more to the vintage line's weakness than the news that there will be CW figures in the vintage line next year.  This is long overdue and really, there should be one line.  If CW dominates it, so what.  How many slots do we lose to CW figs that we don't lose to redos of movie mainstays?

Post by: Jesse James on October 28, 2010, 08:28 PM
The vintage line delivers in terms of quality...  The articulation, the detail...  But this upcoming wave, my god.  It's a good thing ROTJ wave comes out before this 2011 wave is all I'm thinking because, my god, it's attrocious and I cannot imagine it's going to do well.  :-\
Title: Re: Clone Wars Wave 20 (aka 2011 Wave 1?)
Post by: Brian on October 28, 2010, 08:45 PM
This wave does look pretty nice, although it isn't necessarily "super new" either.  I was just thinking about this the other day when I was putting some CW figures (Embo, Boba Fett, etc.) in the display case.  I'm always a movie figure collector first and foremost, and then OT always takes precedence - but, while taking out and setting up the CW figures, it really is a pretty nice lineup so far.  I haven't picked up everything (passed on a lot of the one episode clone-types), but as far as the Jedi, the other "alien" characters/bounty hunters/etc., it is sort of a neat line.  Sure, I'll always prefer the realistic style and stuff that is in the movies, but the CW line doesn't often get the credit it maybe deserves for being a pretty fun lineup.  That, and especially with recent waves, the figures are really getting pretty nice anymore.

It definitely doesn't help any that this latest TVC wave is so boring.  I'm sure we'll see more next year that is more "new" and "cool", but like you mentioned Jesse - it is a good thing that ROTJ wave is hitting first :).

It looks like Obi-Wan (with the new outfit) from this wave is from the Savage Opress-arc, which starts January 7th. Obi-Wan can be seen in his new duds in this preview (http://starwars.com/video/view/001148.html) from the Official Site.

You can also see that Asajj Ventress has a new costume, and, if slowed down at the end of the clip, where Ob-Wan is facing off against Opress, the other Jedi looks like it's Anakin (I caught a glimpse of a gloved right hand), in his ROTS outfit! Hopefully Hasbro has plans to make all-new figures of these characters in their new costumes.

Post by: Darby on November 12, 2010, 10:08 AM
I'm sure they will.   :)

I've been going through the CW Season 2 DVD's, and thinking there's so much more yet to do - and they're already on to Season 3 figures!

Post by: McMetal on December 17, 2010, 08:19 PM
This wave still leaves me limp but moreso because the previous two waves were such knockouts. I am very curious to see the next few after this...guess we will have to wait until ToyFair.
Title: Re: Clone Wars Wave 20 (aka 2011 Wave 1?)
Post by: Jabba the Slug on December 18, 2010, 02:05 AM
Hevy looks great, I'm glad Hasbro gave him the full 14 points of articulation instead of resorting to Commander Stone-esque articulation. I'm excited for this wave, mostly for the new Season 3 releases. Sure, Season 3 has been pretty dry so far, but so far it's produced a lot of great figures.

JTA also posted this image of the upcoming Obi-Wan. (http://cgi.ebay.com/STAR-WARS-clone-wars-OBI-WAN-jedi-tcw-cw-/370466009230?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item56417eb08e) I'm definitely stoked for this release more so than the others, but I can't figure out if he has ankle articulation. It looks like the figure has swivel ankles... ???

Has Hasbro given any indication on the fate of the Hondo repack?

We have him listed as part of this wave, yet he's not in either of the wave pre-order case content listings.
Title: Re: Clone Wars Wave 20 (aka 2011 Wave 1?)
Post by: Jeff on December 27, 2010, 09:21 PM
No comment from Hasbro either way on Hondo. 

All we know for sure is that Hondo was pictured on the sample Hevy cardback (http://www.sandtroopers.com/sandwatch/hasbro/20101019/target3.html)...  but that was just an early sample.  His repack may have been pulled, but Hasbro hasn't said anything publically about it yet.
Title: Re: Clone Wars Wave 20 (aka 2011 Wave 1?)
Post by: Pete_Fett on December 28, 2010, 01:44 AM
That early sample can't be valid anymore. Based on the numbering, it looks like it assumes that the previous wave still included Clone Commander Jet and that Cato was CW38 (instead of CW37).

Oh well, I guess we'll know soon enough when that wave starts to hit sometime next month...
Title: Re: Clone Wars Wave 20 (aka 2011 Wave 1?)
Post by: McMetal on December 28, 2010, 09:12 AM
Funny, I hadn't even noticed that until you mentioned it. I can't imagine any reason why he would be dropped though. It's a figure they've already mass produced previously so there couldn't be production issues. And they already have 4 "new" figures in this wave, so it seems unlikely they would substitute something else new, like Jet or Cad Bane in disguise. (seriously Hasbro - WHEN?!?!)

Post by: McMetal on January 7, 2011, 11:13 AM
This Wave is In Stock now at BBTS, and there is indeed no listing for Hondo.

I am hoping this means they will start showing up at retail before too long, although the way the pegs are filled around here I'm not sure they'll even get stocked right away.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that Target will probably be the first to get these, since they had the Embo wave first and Walmart got the Vos wave first. TRU is hopefully out of the picture because their prices are just stupid.

No listing for Hondo?! That's a shame, I was counting on getting him this time since I missed the first run back in January 2010.

A new carded shot of Bane & TODO-360, nice and large...  Clicky to check it out.

I'm thinking because they gave him the coat I'm not going to feel quite so bad buying another Cad Bane.  Though at this point I don't really need him at all, but I do kind of want TODO to go with him and this one seems just a hair superior to the Deluxe figure.  It'll complement the Deluxe figure I guess.

Neck seems a little goofy long, but I still think he looks great.  One of the cooler figures in a while to me.

Is Cad Bane's head new?  It looks better to me.  This one doesn't seem to be as "flat faced" to me.  The initial release didn't seem to have much definition in the face.  This one looks more menacing.

Is Cad Bane's Man-Purse a new accessory? I can't recall...

Post by: Jesse James on January 14, 2011, 03:57 PM
I'm 99% sure that's a repack man-bag.  The strap has the same curve in the back that the deluxe figure's has.

I actually wound up with a clearanced pirate bike and gave one of the packs to a Hoth Rebel and it looks pretty neat.  Like he's a courrier or officer or something.  Some of them had different packs and stuff ( no man-bags, but one can imagine), so it's a neat little piece to have extras of in its own right.

This Bane looks like at least partially new, the Deluxe version didn't have a trench coat on. This one does. I like the effort on TODO-360.

These are shipping from Hasbro US now too-- got my case from Entertainment Earth on Friday.  No Hondo, though.  Bane's pretty impressive, but take note: the only articulation on Todo is his head, no matter how the arms look.

Good to know, I see SWS has 'em now too, but only by the case - for $94.99 I can wait.

Hoping to see retail reports on these in another week or two...

Visited Target today (hoping to find the AOTC wave of TVC), and instead I found this wave. Only Obi and Hevy, pretty bummed to see that Bane was gone. I contemplated getting Hevy, but, always lured to the Jedi characters, I instead got Obi.

Not a bad figure, but not terribly exciting, either. I dunno. He just looks too neutral - if his stance had been widened up a bit or if there were more accessories, then my demanding self would have been satisfied.
Title: Re: Clone Wars Wave 20 (aka 2011 Wave 1?)
Post by: McMetal on January 26, 2011, 10:37 PM
I scored the perfect trifecta today: I found new Clone Wars figures, I found all of them, and they were all on minty cards. Game, set, match - done. Doesn't get much better than that!

Obi-Wan's head looks a little too small but I do think it is a much better rendering of the animated character.

My general feeling is that they are all pretty cool in their own way, but none are overly spectacular. A good filler wave.

Thanks to Target for making my week!  ;D

I'm looking forward to finding this wave, so far I have just been unlucky. Usually if it is hitting targets, I am in good shape. My local Wal-Marts seem to be in a no-stocking mode these days-

I saw them yesterday at TRU as well, so it might be worth checking them all.

It's a decent wave, but probably the least exciting of this year. It only gets better from here!

I found most of what I want from this wave at Targets spread out all this week. All I need to be "done" with this wave is another R7 so I can display one in and out of Ashoka's JSF. Kinda a low-level purchase wave for me since there aren't any army builders. But it looks like some of the upcoming waves will more than make up for that.

Man, I thought I had picked up 2 of the new Cad Banes last week, I was opening some stuff today and I had a new one and an old one...they look almost identical on the cards (as does the card art).  Only the TODO distinguishes the look
Title: Re: Clone Wars Wave 20 (aka 2011 Wave 1?)
Post by: Jesse James on February 13, 2011, 09:20 PM
yeah, the differences aren't too extreme.  The deluxe Bane was pretty realistic looking.  The one with TODO is a bit more realistic looking, but side-by-side with older versions and the differences are really negligible, or at least confusing.

Post by: ysalamir on March 9, 2011, 07:55 PM
So, anybody know why Hondo doesn't appear to be in this wave?

He's on the card back of the Cad Bane w/Todo  card as #39, what 's up with that? Does anyone have an explanation why he's no where to be found?  ???
Title: Re: Clone Wars Wave 20 (aka 2011 Wave 1?)
Post by: Jesse James on March 9, 2011, 09:38 PM
It's possible things just got shifted around for one reason or another, and he'll wind up in another wave later on...  Or that there's a factory issue with Hondo or something.
