My Collection: Clone Wars Movie: Separatists



Whorm Loathsom: This separatist commander with a Scotch accent is an interesting figure. He's pretty bulky but his flat feat keep him upright. The articulation is basic, with hardly any in the legs. But his arms are pose-able to a degree. He comes with a blaster that loosely fits in his hands. An interesting feature is removable shoulder armor. The armor does connect to the body with a peg in hole mechanism. But it isn't very snug and can rattle around a bit.

Super Battle Droid: The droid's sculpt is decent. But this is more of an "action" figure than a "display" figure. There is no articulation in the legs and limited movement in the arms as well. But the arms do have holes where projectile launchers can be attached, making up for the simplicity a bit. Even though the articulation is limited, this is a great troop builder.

Heavy Assault Super Battle Droid: This is basically a re-purposed version of the Super Battle Droid. The paint scheme is a bit different though and there is new feature added to one of the arms, a projectile launcher. Like its predecessor it has limited articulation, but serves as a troop builder.

Battle Droid: One of the staples of the Clone Wars line, the battle droid was released in the first wave. The sculpt matches the design in the show pretty well, but there are a few technical problems with this figure. The thin antenna is hard to straighten and the backpack falls off too easily. Like the super battle droid, the articulation is limited. But unlike the its more advanced counterpart, the battle droid is slight and flimsy and is a pain to stand up. The legs tend to be bent, causing the feet not to stand flat on the ground. This figure really needs a stand to be posed in most ways.

Battle Droid Commander: This is really a straight repaint of the battle droid, and therefore inherits all of its flaws. The only added accessory is a binocular that the droids hands can hardly hold properly. The paint design of the battle droid commander isn't bad, but there are no technical improvements.
