Did they actually do a female body sculpt for that Dedra or is she slugged onto the same body as Thrawn and everyone else?  I can't tell from the photo at this size.

In the panel they said it was a "great new body to build on" (meaning more lady officers are coming).  Looks like at least the torso is new, not sure if they re-used the arms or legs from something else.

That clone Lt looks inaccurate, but Anakin is excellent.

Smart.  Bring on the officers.  Bring them all on.

The legs & arms look to be the same ones from the Cal Kestis / Piett body. I think it is just a new torso. It looks good either way though. I've been wanting a Deedra for 2 years now. Count me in for a couple.

Very solid wave overall, not the theme, but the overall quality of the figures is good.

Luke looks pretty good, but I am not necessarily completely sold on the Mark Hamill likeness still. I wish it was a little more definitive like this year's Leia this year was. But it is pretty close and the body looks great. The cardback is of course fantastic.

Anakin looks real solid. It will be interesting to see what parts are reused on there. I didn't immediately pick them up, but I was watching while working.

I just noticed that the Ahsoka show clone officers don't have the blue dots on the torso armor. At first, I though it was a miss on Hasbro's part and then I looked closer at the source material and it seems to be something they left off in the show. Interesting. That does look like a new Phase I non-removable helmet to me.

I know that “new” figures are always more exciting to most, but I honestly can’t wait for the Luke and Anakin from this wave. Luke in particular is a little overdue, can’t wait.

I was logging my preorders on my TVC order excel file and took notice of the VC number for this version of Luke Skywalker.  I had been expecting this iteration to get the VC375 designation.  Steve Evans had flagged that particular number on his visual checklist, and the slot had the background color from Luke's card.  Has that now changed?  Or will that be some kind of special edition release?

Had an $18.39 Amazon charge on the credit card today... seems to match up to my Clone LT pre-order from this wave. 

Not sure if that means he's about to ship or if its just a ping to see if the card is still valid...

I saw some chatter at RS about Amazon charging people and moving up delivery dates for the entire wave.  I've been checking my own orders, and the delivery dates are still mid to late February.

Same.  I've now got another $18 charge today but all my Amazon pre-orders still say expected 2/18.

And now today I've got two credits back to my card for $18.39 and $18.41.  I guess whatever they thought they were going to ship me isn't happening...  so weird.

And now today, I get an Amazon shipping notice for Clone Lt., Anakin, and Luke. 

Should be here 1/13 (shipped USPS).
