Clone Wars '03-'05 / Re: The Clone Wars Line Never Ended

Scorch is a wholely separate character from EU... Rep Commando wasn't developed because of the toon but actually in an attempt to capitalize on a gaming niche's popularity instead, so I don't think I'd count it as Clone Wars... If anything it took some finegaling by EU-ers to make the Commandoes fit with the ARCs, which is sort of funny.
I really am hoping for more film-accurate CW figures... I'm not a big fan of the toon-look subline they created, but I think with the characters like the new ARC Troopers coming out, and Foul Moudama, that Hasbro can really do a good Clone Wars figure that fits with the rest of the film characters nicely. The original line was so beyond the cartoons even that it just didn't look right... Ironically, figures sculpted based on the toon, but realistic looking, did better than Hasbro's early efforts to sculpt characters from the films and make them cartoonish while keeping them "realistically" sculpted. If that makes sense.
