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.
