The Official Star Wars Website, has brought some nice looking Clone Wars Wave 1 - Animated figures pictures, and has said that Wave 2 consistes of :Count Dooku, Clone Trooper, Durge and Yoda. Can't wait to see how Animated style Yoda will look. How do you think these Waves will do , simply BAD or GOOD!
-
For Hard-Core fans I think these will go well. As for others, I am not sure. I know I want a set.
-
Yes, i want a set of them too!
-
More than likely I will get some of these. I can't pass them up. I like the look of the cartoon after seeing the promos.
-
I really like the animated shorts and the current Clone Wars line but, I just can't justify something that makes the "regular" line that much harder to obtain. If this kiddie-junk is going to be taking up the same peg-space as the Saga and now Clone Wars lines... well, you figure it out. >:(
If only "die-hards" are going to buy them why not make them exclusive to the Fan Club thus saving those precious four to eight pegs for the two lines currently competeing for space on them.

Wow...
This "kiddie-junk" isn't going to take up any of your precious peg space dedicated to the crap selling Clone Wars line, and the barely surviving Saga line...
The entire line will be exclusive to Target; as such, Target will assign this new line a new DPCI, which means it will have its own dedicated peg space. So even if these sit on the pegs for decades, the would never make the other figures any harder to get.
-
As for the above section; I think these will do exceptionally well, as there is already a lot of talk amongst kids-teens about the cartoon. On three seperate occasions now (three seperate stores), since Saturday morning, I have heard kids talking to their parents/friends/even me about the "cool Star Wars cartoon" and how they "wished they had figures like those". One kid even pointing out the JLA figures: "They should make figures that look like these". I also teach at a Jr/Sr High School, and the new cartoon is all the rage right now. It appeals to the young crowd, the Star Wars crowd, and even the "too old for cartoons" crowd because of its stylized action oriented appeal, like Samurai Jack.

I didn't know that. Lucky thing there's a Target where my daughter goes to college or I'd probably never see them. Oh she's gonna love this news!! ;) :-*

No offense, but you are seriously out-of-touch if you think the standard figures are "crap selling" and "barely surviving". If you consider a line that has lived for nearly thirty years, with a ten year hiatus, "crap selling" then all toy lines should be so lucky. More importantly, can you back your accusations with actual sales numbers or is it just in your opinion?
And as for the Toon Wars figures being exclusive to Target; I'll believe it if in six months you can still only find them at Target. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad you cleared that up for me. I want nothing more for this junk (IMO) to live a separate existence from the standard line. Hell, if they give it its own section then let Hasbro make all the Toons you anime-fans can stomach. But, I am not buying!

I already expressed the exact same concern as Todd here when I first heard about this new Animated line, so hopefully you're right Adam, and Target indeed does keep this line completely seperate from the Saga stuff. That would certainly help the looming situation of 3 seperate Star Wars action figure lines being sold concurrently at retail.
The current CW lineup is already severely eating away at the Saga availability in my area, in almost every store. A number of stores out here aren't even carrying Saga anymore - just Clone Wars. So that's bad enough as it is. Hopefully this new line is looked at (and coded) by Target as a completely different entity altogether, unlike our current CW lineup which is technically selling under the Saga brand label.
Hopefully the quantities for these animated figures are scaled back just a bit from the current CW line, since it's pegwarming by the hundreds everywhere now. If the quantities, and case assortments are fairly reasonable, then I think this line will do OK, assuming they don't wait too long to get it to the market, so the cartoon is still around to support it's sales. Looks like that won't be a problem though, since they're already up on eBay.
I don't think it's unreasonable to speculate that this animated line might take some otherwise available pegs away from the Saga line though - even if they are coded seperately. Can't a toy department manager just say "well, we're going to put out about 6 pegs worth of this new animated line of SW figures, but I don't want to overdue Star Wars altogether, so perhaps I'll reduce the Saga pegs by about 4 to compensate for the new stuff a little"...? That sounds possible to me. Hopefully not probable, but definitely possible...
We shall see... :-\

Let's not forget about that minimun-wage paid, under-anxious teen that could care less what Star Wars figures go where. It will happen time and time again. Seriously though, I'm not apposed to these. Just keep 'em over by the Simpsons and Power Rangers where they belong.
-
Hey i am a minimum-waged paid teen!
But i do care where Star Wars figures, go? :D ;)

No offense meant to anyone particularly. But I am sure you know the type of which I speak.
-
yes, i do, know what type you speak of.
-
Oh yes, I forgot that the Clone Wars line is the hottest selling line on the toy market right now. That's why after a Target clearance, I can still find stacks of Wave 1 on the pegs. Whew, yes it is definately the most popular toy line available right now. Just watch em fly off the shelves....
Walk into any retail store and ask the manager how Star Wars sells, it is not a popular line. It does well enough to squeak by, but when you can still find POTJ and Midnight-Madness Saga figures on the pegs, something must be amiss.
If you're so sure these two lines are hot sellers, then prove it to ME. I figured it was pretty much common sense that these lines arent as popular as 80% of the other toys available.
I still love the "kiddie-junk" line. Hilarious! No matter how you try to slice it buddy, every single figure released by Hasbro is mainly for kids. Sure, they admit that they FOCUS on collectors, but they are still kids toys. If they weren't, then they wouldnt worry about making them as safe for kids. Matrix toys are filled to the brim with choking hazards, why? Because they aren't marketed to little kids. Star Wars figures are choking hazard free. Why? Because they are marketed to "kiddies" as much as adults.
Yet another case of fanboyism. If someone doesnt like it, its crap, "kiddie-junk" or other. So yeah, I do take offense when you more or less insult people because of the items they are interested in, I take offense when some fanboy calls me out of touch, when I've grown up on Star Wars and collected figures since I was a toddler. I have seen nearly every Star Wars figure vintage and new on shelves, and I can rightfully say that through my years of collecting, I have witnessed the current lines selling much worse than any of the other lines before them. And, well, the SAGA line and the CLONE WARS line have NOT been around 30 years, fanboy. I did not say ANYTHING about the other lines. Read my post next time.
And not sure when you last checked, but Star Wars figures are right down or across the aisle from Power Rangers and Simpsons. I guess that's where they belong though, since THEY ARE ALSO KIDS TOYS! And you are out of touch if you believe otherwise.

Ah, snotty sarcasm! :o
Spin it any way you like but please don't give me crap about how Hasbro blew it by overproducing yet another new series of figures. This is nothing new. It has nothing to do with the popularity of the line but more the lack of common sense and over estimateing the popularity of particular figures on Hasbro's part. I doubt that this problem of over abundance won't persist with the last seven figures.

Knowing several people who are in the know as far as retail sales goes (God knows I'm not), I can honestly say that a manufacturer isn't going to keep pumping monies into a line, no matter what it is, if it is not turning a significant profit. And cetainly not for decades at a time if the line is just "squeeking by".
Sorry to hear that you are sitting on so many old pegwarmers, that's certainly not the case here... yet! Nothing older than Pilot Jango's. What else can I say other than it sucks to be in your geographical location?
If you're so sure these two lines are hot sellers, then prove it to ME. I figured it was pretty much common sense that these lines arent as popular as 80% of the other toys available.
Again, you throw numbers at me with no real way to back them up and even go as far as trying to avoid the question by asking another question. That's a load of bunk.
This line may not be as popular as other lines. But this line has what very few other lines have; Staying power. All the proof I can offer is a comparison between SW and Simpsons. When a new case assortment comes out in the SW line it is gone as soon as it hits the shelf. Sure the same could be said for the Simpsons for a while, but not any more. Again, this comes back to staying power.
I still love the "kiddie-junk" line. Hilarious! No matter how you try to slice it buddy, every single figure released by Hasbro is mainly for kids.

Because they are marketed to "kiddies" as much as adults.
First off; I am glad I could amuse you. And secondly; I am not your buddy.
No! Every single figure Hasbro makes is NOT for kids. Thus the "Fan's Choice" figures. They may be toys, but they are certainly not just "kids toys". Ephant Mon was for kids? Removable head Jango and Vader for kids? Tarkin, Slave Leia, Amananman, Aylas Secura, Barris Offee were for kids??? Judging by the play features and gadgets added with some of these figures Hasbro was hoping to sell them to the kids, as well as collectors, but they were not made with kids in mind. If you honestly believe that you are fooling yourself, not me. Now, you know as well as I do that the SW line has had, and always will have, choking hazards, save a few figures here and there. Hasbro would love nothing more for kids to get into SW the way I did in 77 when I was 10. They want to suck more in for the long haul the way they did with you and I. But it's not happening. Most kids today have the attention spans of lint and go through fads like underwear.
Yet another case of fanboyism. If someone doesnt like it, its crap, "kiddie-junk" or other. So yeah, I do take offense when you more or less insult people because of the items they are interested in, I take offense when some fanboy calls me out of touch, when I've grown up on Star Wars and collected figures since I was a toddler.

And, well, the SAGA line and the CLONE WARS line have NOT been around 30 years, fanboy. I did not say ANYTHING about the other lines. Read my post next time.
First off let me address your "fanboy" and "fanboyism" issues. You know the way you say it is almost offensive to me... Almost. Anyway, I collect most of the single carded figures, some of the ships, and some of the unleashed line. I touch nothing else. I loved Star Wars before it became commonly known as "A New Hope", loved Empire and didn't care much for Jedi, Phantom or even Clones. I don't have a Picture on my wall, car, headboard, or dresser of anything SW related. As a matter of fact the only other thing SW I own is a custom made lightsaber I got from a friend a couple years ago. I don't know about you but I would associate "fanboyism" and being a "fanboy" with only the truest of true diehard Star Wars fans... Which I am clearly not. And again, I point out thwe fact that you say that like it's supposed to be a bad thing. If anyone should be offended it should be the real fanboys who may read this. I don't think you're one of 'em.
On to the "offense" issue; It wasn't my intention to insult anyone. I just feel very strongly about Hasbro bastardizing SW the way they did Flashman. I mean Batman. Star Wars has survived for thirty years without significant toon figures, save for the droids line. I don't begrudge anyone there figures. Just keep the toon stuff a completely seperate entity from the standard Star Wars line. I have no problems if the toon Clone Wars figures can be handled as well as the Droids line back in the eighties.
And not sure when you last checked, but Star Wars figures are right down or across the aisle from Power Rangers and Simpsons. I guess that's where they belong though, since THEY ARE ALSO KIDS TOYS! And you are out of touch if you believe otherwise.
Yesterday! I just checked yesterday. And you're quite right, they are with the rest of the toys, as they should be. I never said they weren't toys or even implied that they belonged somewhere else. Like I said before, these are collectors toys that Hasbro hopes to sell to some kids along the way. Nothing more.
I see nothing wrong with a good public debate but please, if you can't loose the attitude I simply won't respond to you in the forum. I will however be happy to discuss this on your level via PM or email.

OK, everyone's gotten their two cents in on the issue, so let's try to get back to the topic at hand here please - the Clone Wars animated figures. Some people like them, some don't. Some are concerned they'll take valuable peg space away from Saga, some don't think so. We've all got different opinions on things - it's cool. :-*
P.S. I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a fanboy! ;) 8)

I totally just got scolded by the man. :-[
My apologies Matt, it won’t happen in the forums again.
-
This is the first time I have ever seen the 2nd wave of these figures, and they look awesome! Dooku looks perfect, and it's great we'll be getting another Clone Trooper figure. Wonder how it will look with the others that have already been made. Hope I can find ANY of these in stores some day.
-
I think I will be purchasing a clone or two from the line, just because I like the stylized anime look that they hve to them.
With these, I look at them like the 12" Dolls. They arent for everyone. One or two may look good to me, but some one who likes dolls may think all of them are grand.
Its a matter of choice really.
Kevin
-
I agree, i really hope i do find these in stores also. I think we all will. Hopefully, but i do feel that the force is strong with this one. We will find them.

Hasbro now has their own images put up of Clone Wars - Animated (Wave 2). Check them out here:
Clone Wars Animated Figures - Wave 2 (http://www.hasbro.com/starwars/pl/page.headlines/id.983/dn/default.cfm)
-
i dont know about you guys but i am really looking forward to these animated figures, i think they are cool looking after taking a good look at them for a while. :o
-
Although I know some people really dislike these figures, I was fortunate enough to find an animated Obi-Wan this past weekend, and I really like these figures. They are something different, to be sure, but still cool in their own way. I really hope to be able to locate all of the figures in the two waves, but for now its just my lonely Obi :). One thing I really like about these figures are their cards. Although it might not work great for the regular line, they are really neat for this line....with the big picture of the character on the side of the bubble...they really do stand out. I could spot the Obi Wan hanging on the peg from a ways away because of the card and bubble alone. I actually wouldn't mind seeing some animated-style OT figures, if they ever do a cartoon of those characters some day. Just something different to collect I guess. But, at the same time, I am with those that say they don't want them taking up shelf space from basic, (especially OT) figures. Those are still #1 with me :).
-
What stores are selling the animated clone wars?
I heard they were only at Target.
-
yea it is a Target exclusive, probably Comic Shops and other individual stores will probably have them, but i havent seen any at all!!

Found this at Galactic Hunter today...
The case assortment for Clone Wars Wave 2...
-------------------------------------
850030004 Animated Figures Wave 2
852160000 SW 3.75 ANIMATED FIGURE ANAKIN X 2
852170000 SW 3.75 ANIMATED FIGURE OBI-WAN X 1
852180000 SW 3.75 ANIMATED FIGURE CLONE TROOPER X 1
852190000 SW 3.75 ANIMATED FIGURE ASAJJ VENTRESS X 2
852200000 SW 3.75 ANIMATED FIGURE DOOKU X 2
852210000 SW 3.75 ANIMATED FIGURE DERGE BOUNTY HUNTER X 1
852220000 SW 3.75 ANIMATED FIGURE YODA X 2
852230000 SW 3.75 ANIMATED FIGURE MACE X 1
--------------------------------------------------------------------
More proof that Hasbro has NO idea what they are doing.
The Clone Trooper is 1x per case? WTH?
Durge is 1x per case? Huh?
Either Hasbro is stupid or they don't have a big role in Part 2 of the series at ALL. Anakin and Asajj must be major players in the Part 2 to stay at 2x per case.
Would it have been so hard to do 2x the new figures and 1x the wave 1 figures??? Or what about ZERO Mace/Obi-Wan and an Extra Yoda and Clone?
*sigh*
At least I live by 1,000,000 Targets so I'll probably end up with them.

I just saw that post over at GH as well, that case assortment seems a little odd to me as well. I guess we shouldn't be too surprised though. I found my first (and only, so far) of this line this past weekend (Obi-Wan) and am really hoping I am able to pick up the rest of them. I hope this case packing won't make the Yoda and Clonetrooper impossible to find. I'm sure that they will be the hottest ones of the line. I will say this, I really think the packaging on these figures is great...I was able to spot them from quite a ways away with the big character pictures on the bubble sides :).
-
Ugh. Looks like Hasbro's going to Mattel's School of Casepacking there. Of course, i noticed at my local Target that Obi-Wan and Mace are quite common, and Anakin numbers the least. I hope this isn't the be-all end-all assortment, and cases that favor the Clone and Durge are in the works.
And, BTW, whose idea was it to pack a Clone at 1x per case? That's really, really dumb.
-
they want to make the Clone very hard for us fans to get, that is what is going through their heads, they want it to be a challenge.

Galactic Hunter via ActionHQ has Clone Wars Wave 2 pics up...

-
I love the look of these more and more.
-
These are something I would have to pass on compared to buying the regular figures, but I got the first wave for free. So now i'm into these for the long haul. I'll have to say, they do look cool on display.
-
I found this wave today at the Target by my job. This is what was on the pegs as of 10:00 AM today.
___ ANAKIN X 2
___ OBI-WAN X 2
___ CLONE TROOPER X 1
___ DOOKU X 2
___ DURGE X 2
___ YODA X 1
Since there were not 12 on the pegs, I must have got the remainding items from a case.
I'll post a picture tonight.

Great find FishEyedLouie! I hope that we're able to find Wave 2 around here too, I have a feeling Yoda and the Clone will be tough to come by. Yoda was the one I have been looking forward the most since this line was announced. Look forward to seeing your pics!
-
I just found them at two different Targets too, as did another JD SoCal'er (amarsella)! Definitely hitting now.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Based on what I just saw at two different Target stores, I'm not so sure about this case breakdown - unless there's another case assortment not mentioned here... One Target had only 1 Clone and no Yodas with a bunch of Dooku and Durge, and the second Target I found them at today had about 6-8 Durges and Clones, and about the same number, if not less, of the Dooku and Yoda. Take that for what it's worth, but at least they seemed to be in a reasonable ratio to me this afternoon.
Cool little suckers, though my wife keeps demanding that I not collect that kiddie looking line as well... :P
-
Thanks for the news. I leave for downstate Thursday and, if the snow holds off, maybe a truck or two will make it in to Michigan and leave me a surprise on the pegs!! (and I have a Target gift card just burning a hole in my pocket).
How are the card conditions on this wave?? I've read several people have a hard time finding good ones (mine from the first wave were fine but I took them directly out of the case).
-

Pretty much the same as the first wave, from what I saw (which was quite a few). I don't really check the back of the card out too much, but generally most of the front sides that I've seen were pretty nice. The bottom left corner will have the occasional crease. It's the bottom right corner that's so sharp and squared off that can be a little tricky to keep nice. One wrong move, even by the cashier bagging the figures, and this delicate corner can get thrashed pretty quickly unfortunately.
I was clenching my teeth at each animated figure that I had bagged today. Even setting them in my car made me nervous. So the lesson is to be gentle, so as to save the sharp right corner! 8)

Great to hear that these are out now. I didn't think I'd be collecting this line, but after seeing the first wave at Target last month, I just couldn't resist their cartoony cuteness! So, still no word on any wave 3 beyond this one though, right? Maybe there's still a good chance of it, since the cartoon's going to be back on the tube pretty soon, and getting some more publicity. Of course, since no rumors, news, or pix have surfaced yet, it may be doubtful. But hopefully they'll surprise us with some more, since 8 figures for this line just aren't enough!

Must...own...oddly shaped little plastic...goofballs...
Too bad it's quite sh--ty weatherwise here, I might have gone and looked tonight.

850030004 Animated Figures Wave 2 This is not correct. I took this number to my Target this morning and the stocker told me this is the Hardware Department number.
I asked her about the Clone Wars figures and she took the old tag off the pegs. She came back about five minutes later with a case of figures.
She opened it up and inside was the following: X3 Clonetrooper, X3 Durge, X3 Count Dooku, and X3 Yoda. The Second Wave is just that, a Second Wave of all new figures. No repacks of the First Wave.
Anyways, I bought one set of the figures leaving two sets on the pegs.
-
Anyone know if there are plans on releasing different color clones at some point? Possibly the Arc Trooper which made quite a few appearances in different colors?
-
just picked up the second wave today, finally and have to say these will do nicely in my collection.
-

Not that I heard of, not even speculation of a Wave 3. Who know's though with the next episodes coming back on Cartoon Network it might just happen. I sure hope so. Feelings seemed to be mixed on this line, but I think they are top notch from the card design to the figure likeness.
The role of the critic, anyone can fill. So there will always be someone complaining about a saber or other accesory, I say kudos to Hasbro for getting these right, really right. :D
-
Glad to see there's an even packed case for this wave out. Good good.
-
Well here in Indy it looks like Durge is a peg warmer. I have been to several Targets in the area and Durge is filling the pegs.
I bet Yoda is the #1 most wanted followed by the Clonetrooper then Dooku.
Poor Durge, he sucks.
-
I picked up Yoda and the Clone today. Yoda, while a complete rip-off at the $7 price point, is still my favorite figure out of the series and I doubt that will change when I get around to getting Dooku and Durge. Obi-Wan comes in at #2.
-
No store anywhere near me sell animated CLone wars. Gonna have to resort to online shopping. *shuders*

850030004 Animated Figures Wave 2 This is not correct. I took this number to my Target this morning and the stocker told me this is the Hardware Department number.
Yeah, that number is NOT the Target DPCI number for the animated figures, but it is the markings on that particular case. Keep in mind that the galactichunter report came from a foriegn e-tailer who probably got them from the factory and had nothing to do with Target.
The numbers listed next to each figure in that post are the UPC item number for each figure.
Anyway, I can confirm today that there are in fact TWO different case assortments shipping.
I saw them both today at a Target store in MN. The first is in fact the blended case, but there is also another case with an even 3 of each figure from wave 2.
So, to clear it up, your Target may get either of the cases, but both of the assortments DO exist.
Jeff
-
I've been going out every other day or so trying to find these, and I haven't had any luck finding them. Other people in my area have found these already, but most have said they were in pretty banged-up shape (bubbles crushed, cards bent, etc). Has anyone else found these in bad shape? I'm actually surprised about this because these seem to be stronger cards and bubbles than regular figures. ???
-
I have seen Anakin, Asajj, Obi-Wan, and Mace at Target and they werent selling to well, they were there for about a week. Havent been back since, but i wonder why they arent doing to good here in Nor Cal. But i havent seen Wave 2 yet. But i am gonna keep my eye out for that Trooper! ::)
-
I found a single Wave 2 figure this past weekend (Dooku), and he was on a pretty bent up card. I bought it anyways, because I don't care about card condition too much, since I'm an opener. Otherwise, I haven't seen any of Wave 2 yet, but they must have been there at one point. I think there was like 2 each of Anakin, Obi, Mace, and maybe 3 of Assaj on the pegs as well.
-
I Still havent found these single wave 2 carded figure yet!!!!! Where are they all going, we are still full of the Wave 1 figures!!!

Coles notes request: do these fit any star cases? I just got wave 2 from Matt (A) and they are amazing. I want to keep these versions carded and would like to protect them, if at all possible. Very, very neat looking. The regular CW versions fit a nice transition point in my display, but these would look out of place in the collection so I think I'll keep these carded.

Yup, that's what I am doing too!! Of course, I still have to FIND the second wave :-\.

I've got 3 out of 4 of them for you now Beth (and Brian and Dale), but I can't find any more of the dang Yodas... >:( Plenty of the rest around here lately. I'll give you guys a holler as soon as I get your sets complete! :-*
P.S. You didn't tell me you were going carded on these Beth... I'm most surprised at you! But I think I've fortunately got some decent ones for ya' still...

If anyone could help me out with a MOMC Yoda I would greatly appreciate it. I just completed a deal for Durge, Dooku, and Clonetrooper at rebelscum. Probably a mistake since Yoda seems to be the most desired one. Please let me know if anyone can help. I need the first series too MOMC if anyone has access to those as well. Thanks. :)

Well, I finally found a few more Yodas today, as did my local collecting comrades Tydirium and FishEyedLouie. I'll tally up all of our Yodas, and see what we can come up with for MOMC stuff. But it looks pretty good for Brian, Beth, Dale, and Scott now! Maybe Padawan too! 8)
I might have some extras of the first wave lyin' around Padawan, if not - they're definitely still in the stores around here... I'll keep ya' posted!

My word. This looks like the Star Tours thread :o

Hell nah! Not even close... But yeah - same concept here! ;)
As for the Animated Yoda - when it rains it pours! Don't know where the heck he's been the last several weeks as plenty of Durge, Dooku, and Clonetroopers were hitting and clogging the pegs. But today, between myself and the two other local fellas I mentioned above - we found a total of 13 Yodas! :o Guess he's back again...
I have to wonder if there were some odd case assortments that we didn't know of that had 4 of each of the other 3 figures for a while, and no Yodas... 'Cause it just didn't make any sense! Back to a sense of normalcy now though. 8)

JediMAC if you can hook me up with Yoda or any from series 1 let me know. The nearest Target is an hour away from me. :(
Send me a PM if you can help. Thanks man. :)
