Once again Hasbro screws it up with case ratio's! Here's hoping they revisit that decision. 
I'm not going to comment on what Clone Body is being used for the Utapaun Clone. I learned from the Tactical Ops Clone not to count my clones until they are hatched.

I donno if the case ratio is that bad. I think it's designed to sell the whole case which means, there might not be a lot of clones in the case, but stores should get lots of cases to make lots of clones.

Also, I think the fiasco surrounding Tactical Ops clone was an anomaly. Once we get the pictures were getting now, I think it all but locks it up.

But, I have been wrong before. ;)

Big improvement on the box.

Nicely writen Black Dog. I'm going to have to dissagree to some extent. I would give the following ratings:

Paint - 9/10
Articulation - 5/10, and that's giving superior scores for the hip joints.
Accesories - same
Playability - 4 for lack of articulation and unsecure limbs.
Over all - 6

The Evolutions sets were all kind of "just shy" of perfection as we'll see with the others.  A little disappointing but not near anything worth bashing them over for certain. 


Isn't that weird? I completely agree. I wonder if the designers agree as well.

Yeah Aaron, 9 times out of 10, people are just busting one anothers chops around here with zero callousness intended. Much, much different from scum.

Nice review Jesse. I really can't add anything because I think you nailed everything. Despite any limitations, I wouldn't complain if this figure was not improved upon.

I actually have to give this figure a thumbs down. While I agree that all the pro's for this figure make it the best gaurd available to date, I think the cut of the soft goods and the lack of a pike make this far from the ultimate version. The soft goods on the package looks perfect. If we had gotten that, I could over look the absence of the pike, but the way I see it, were can still use a better version.

We have all those........we're really not into the on card variations anymore- I wonder if my brother would part with it?.... ???

You'd get lots and lots in trade if that was the case. :D

Have the pack-in's ever worked? I have to admit, I like the freeze frames 'cause I like good photo's, but it seems pack-in's has met a lacklust response. In fact, I wonder why Hasbro bothers to try?

My family and I watched it last night. My kids loved it, and I, having worked in animation find it fascinating in addition to entertaining. Think about it, the dialogue is pretty advanced for kids.

I just get a kick out of the fact that it was made for $150,000 and today, a 30 second add costs $200,000. That's more than a 30 second add for ABC's top rated one hour drama's.

They hit PR WM and were found only on the display. I applaud Wal Mart for not breaking them early, but I guess it's possible that they were packed with the display which had DVD release instructions.

I'm only looking for a few varients, the transition tray Tatooine Luke and Ben and the Boushh on shadow cars with Collection 1 printed. The Boushh has really come down in price, so I've been checking e-bay for deals. A forum member here scored one for $10.
