My Collection: Clone Wars Movie: Jedi



Ahsoka Tano: This is the first Ahsoka action figure ever made. The detail is pretty good but a bit lacking on the face. The cloth skirt allows for easy posing. However the shoulder joints are unusually large and there is no elbow articulation. Both hands can only loosely hold the lightsaber. Some versions of this figure come with a backpack and Rotta the Hutt, but the one I got was in a battle-pack and lacked those accessories.

Anakin Skywalker: This was the first Clone Wars figure that I ever bought. Anakin came in the first wave that I picked up at a midnight madness sale a few weeks before the movie debuted. He holds his lightsaber pretty good with one hand, but not as well with both. The sculpt of the head is pretty accurate. Unfortunately there is no knee or ankle articulation, but the arms are adequately jointed. When I first got it, this figure seemed slight to me, but now I'm used to the thinner Clone Wars style.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Here's another figure from the first wave. I remember that Anakin and Obi-Wan were the first figures I got from ROTS, and the same went for the Clone Wars. The first Clone Wars Obi-Wan has a good head sculpt like Anakin, and has similar articulation. But Obi-Wan holds his lighstaber more firmly with both and each of his hands. My only complaint would be that the skirt seems to hang a bit sideways. Obi-Wan came with an interchangeable head and a firing jet pack that pegs into his back, definitely one of the best figures in the first wave.

Yoda: Yoda was another great figure from the first wave. His head sculpt is accurate but painted a bit too dark. He doesn't move a lot but has a cool pull back missile launcher built into one of his arms. You can insert his cane to cover up the hole. Yoda holds his lightsaber firmly, and his ball jointed ankles allow him to easily stand on an inclined or rough surface.
