A good idea...  I'd go the route of an elastic band glued to the extra ammo so you're not having to mess up his leg.  I vow to someday do a modular version of the Commando weapon though and it will have all the handy-dandy attachments needed.

i was hoping H would do something like marauder did with this, i mean how freakin cool would that be.

OMG Aurra Sing comes with "briefcase" for lightsabers


http://www.banthaskull.com/images/NYCC11/nycc11_3_066.jpg

now i know most people hated the clone, most complaints seemed to be about the greening of the helmets.  but that was a pretty easy fix for me.  my only real complaint was the fact that the hip joint was black/white.  While H seemed to correct the problem on the Utapau version, the fact that the all white was "striped" totally turned me off even for the potential of dropping $8+ to customize.

and far as the stormie i liked, again helmet coloring not an issue, but i already have so many plain white stormie i never really felt a need for more

BUT..... if we see these being shelf pulled and say going over to Ross/TJ Maxx and whatnot I might reconsider my position 

i weep for u your purpleness, with post offices soon to be closing left and right i fear u will never be found/delivered

well as long as they weren't negotiations involving lightsabers it's all good 

I'm psyched...

No, seriously, I am.

I wanted realistic from the get-go.  Hasbro confirmed back at Toy Fair they were doing realistic figures from CW in the line, so I wouldn't say it's just getting confirmed now...  Real news would've been confirming WHO they're doing.

But like Jeff said, this was seen a mile away.

They showed a great realistic Anakin to us back a while...  I forget if it was us who asked the "realistic Clone Wars" questions back then, but that Anakin has stuck in my head ever since I saw it.

For me, this is huge though.  What I'd like to see?

-Anakin...  There is no CW Anakin in that outfit, with that hair.  I'm excited to add it to the collection.  I want an Ani as he appears for most of the war.

-Obi-Wan...  Obi's mostly like his ROTS character, simply in his partial armor.  Like Anakin, I'm all for giving that a go.  I was going to try my own custom of him but this saves that.

-Ahsoka...  Definitely.  I want both her young and maturing look too.

-Rex...  Ideally, we'll get both helmets.  Rex was going to be a bitch of a custom to do, with all the paint details on his armor.

-Cody...  Early War Cody?  I'm all for it.

-Clone Repaints...  I'll take them.

I don't foresee them doing too many secondary characters, but I could see a new Assajj coming out, possibly some of the secondary Clones will get unique headsculpts in the realistic style too.  I'd be all for seeing that stuff.  I don't expect to see Whorm Loathsome, or Ziro the Hutt...  Not even sure they'll risk Cad Bane (Duros look generally thin anyway, so I like the last Bane that came with TODO as a realistic figure.  Even the Deluxe looks pretty realistic).

I've passed on MOST animated figures.  I don't own any Anakin, and I think I only own Obi-Wan from a Freeco bike...  A few pack-in Clones here and there.  Eh...  I've largely avoided animated except for droids like the IG-86 droid, or Yularren's on clearance for the table.  I'm definitely interested in these realistic CW figures though, and how Hasbro can do them in the realistic line.  That Anakin sculpt is stuck in my mind, and it was incredible looking.

Oh, and an "adventurer outfit" Padme wouldn't hurt either.

i just hope they don't use the new phase one trooper body for the clones, i'd hate to by them just for helmets.

i'm psyced about it.  something "new"  i know every old school collector, like myself, want all of Jabba's troop and every alien in the Cantina and I can't wait for the definitve version of Bespin Han. BUT it'd be nice to have some 'new' non animated characters that aren't from 25-30 years ago.   Hate the CW or love it most of it does fit within the storyline of the movies and is better then alot of the books that have come out.  My real concern is if say Ahsoka would they make the younger season 1 & 2 version or the current 3 & 4 version.  Current Obi/Anakin are easy enough of a custom I wouldn't even want Hasbro to bother making them.

while i'm still on the fence on the new AOTC clone now that I have one I did find it interesting that Cody and AOTC clone head are pretty good fits when swapped
not perfect but if that any indication for those that don't have new clone yet take that into consideration.
