Clone Wars Figure Rumors/Speculation

[Jayson]

Interesting observation. I'd say that is pretty much a certainty with that card. Question is, what else would he include? He seems a little thin as a stand alone figure release.

[Jeff]

Todo 360! So is this a "confirmation" that we're getting him soon?

From a November 2009 Q&A at www.16bit.com:

3. There have been rumblings that the droid TODO 360 was at one point meant to be included with the recently released Cad Bane action figure. Is this true?

A3. It is true, but we had to drop him due to costing. We are finding a way to get him into another pack, hopefully next year.


Between that answer and the card, I think it's safe to say they hope to get him out somehow in 2010...

[Jabba the Slug]

Hopefully he'll be part of a BP release, or some multipack. Selling him as a stand-alone basic figure would be cheap.

Hopefully he'll be part of a BP release, or some multipack. Selling him as a stand-alone basic figure would be cheap.

That is possible - supposedly the battlepacks will include cards for the figures just like the individually carded releases, so he could definitely be in a battlepack.

Yakface.com posted the following for TCW 2010. The figures in bold are the brand-new ones:

The Clone Wars Collection Wave 3
1x Captain Rex (98349)
1x Obi Wan Kenobi (98352)

1x Cad Bane (20955)
1x Odd Ball (20956)
1x ARF Trooper (20960)
1x Battle Droid (20961)
1x Ki-Adi Mundi (20803)
1x Flame Thrower Clone (20805)
1x R2-D2 (87664)

1x R4-P17 (21467)
1x Shaak Ti (21465)
1x Boba Fett (21466)
1x Embo (21468)

The Clone Wars Collection Wave 5
1x Rex Cold Weather (20954)
1x Cad Bane (20955)
1x R4-P17 (21467)
1x Shaak Ti (21465)
1x Boba Fett (21466)

1x Hondo Onaka (29778)
1x Zombie Geonosian (25274)
1x Clone Trooper Draa (25275)
1x Clone Commander Jet (25278)
1x Quinlan Vos (25277)
1x Cato Parasiti (25276)

I guess this can be deemed as confirmation of the rumors we heard earlier this month. Cato Parasiti, Ki-Adi Mundi, Zombie Geonosian, Quilan Vos, Shaak Ti, Boba Fett, Flame Thrower trooper and Embo started off on a rumor list. A few new clone troopers have also been added to the list!

I read this with great interest too, but came away totally confused. Didn't EE just put up the pre-listing for Wave 3? What about the Camo ARF Trooper, SA Fisto and Windu, etc?

Seems like that Yakface list would be more like Waves 4, 5 and 6, not 3, 4, 5.

Cannot wait for Shaak Ti, Embo, and Cato. Great choices on those!

[Jabba the Slug]

I, too, was confused. Hasbro makes it so confusing sometimes by continuously restarting the same line over and over again.

But I cannot wait for Shaak Ti, either, and I am very interested to see how Quinlan Vos will turn out. I wouldn't be surprised if Boba comes with some of Jango's gear.

[Jesse James]

I'm 100% getting a flamethrower Clone...  That's one of the only CW3D figures I was really geeked at getting and figured we would.  Very cool choice there.

Kul Teska up on ebay

[Keonobi]

^I count 12 different languages on that card back, wow!  Is that standard for international editions?

[Jesse James]

For Euro/Asian stuff, yes...  Other countries get or have gotten "tri-logo" in only 3 languages (Canada for example, which i think the three are Spanish, English, and French).

Brent or JesseVader or Dale could probably clear that up.

[McMetal]

So Yakface has a cool photo with the full assortment of 38 TCW figures for this year, including numbering. Pretty close to what they had leaked previously.

We pretty much knew the first 19, but the remaining are:

Mace Windu   CW20
Commander Gree   CW21
Battle Droid Commander   CW22
Kit Fisto   CW23
ARF Trooper (Teth Camo)   CW24
Ki-Adi-Mundi   CW25
Clone Trooper   CW26
R2-D2   CW27
Clone Pilot Oddball   CW28
Mandalorian Warrior   CW29
R4-P17   CW30
Shaak Ti   CW31
Boba Fett   CW32
Embo   CW33
Undead Geonosian   CW34
Clone Trooper Draa   CW35
Clone Commander Jet   CW36
Quinlan Vos   CW37
Cato Parasitti   CW38

Kudos to them for the info; just wanted to share since I like to keep track of all this stuff.

Man, great news today from YodaNews' QA, regarding the Cad Bane in Clone Disguise figure that was scrapped last year:

"Hasbro: This figure was pulled at the last minute for use in a promotion that ultimately didn't happen. That's the unfortunate part. The good news is that we are close to getting him into a mainline Battle Pack in the back half of 2011. It's a cool figure and we can guarantee that he will come out some day. "

I am really looking forward to this, kind of an offbeat choice but seemed to be well-executed. Will he come with a wearable helmet too? Here's hoping.

[Jabba the Slug]

Hasbro also revealed Savage Oppress is on tap for May 2011. It is pretty far away, but they're already so far into the TCW line that it makes sense.

[McMetal]

Gotta love this latest rumor list from RS:

RUMORS:
Aqua Droid
Barriss Offee
Captain Rex with Jetpack
Clone Commander Wolfe
Clone Trooper 7 ARF
Clone Trooper (Stealth Ops)
Clone Trooper with Riot Gear
Echo (Sgt. Bric Armor)
Eeth Koth
El-Les
R4-P17
Red Leader
Saesee Tiin
Savage Oppress
Seripas

No, I don't need 65 more clones, but I'm loving me some Barriss Offee, El-Les, and Seripas!

Echo in Brain-boy's armor? Guess this means ole Bric will be in at least 1 more episode this season.
