You know those talking M&Ms in the commercials? I'm guessing these are like that, only with sabers, blasters, helmets, etc.

I think the Clone Wars movie style figures were crap on a EU plate. Jedi Armor and Mexican Bandito outfits and the like don't show up in the movies do they? Mace Windu wears the same outfit in AOTC and ROTS, why would he change for the Clone Wars? It smacks of doing something for coolness sake.
The one figure that stood out really badly to me (in terms of a "WTF?" moment) was the Mace Windu. Great idea, Hasbro: take the single most overproduced and underselling figure of the Saga era, which also has a garish action feature that makes it nearly impossible for it to look good holding a lightsaber, slap a new head on it (presumably; as has been said, the lighting isn't that good), and put it in a five pack as a "new figure."
Jared - I agree with you 100% - my enthusiasm for this is really dwindling. For me it's becoming more of a CHORE than it is the "Fun of collecting" - thank god this is the final movie year 'cause I don't think I could handle something WORSE than this in three years!
