My Collection: Ambush: Villains



Asajj Ventress: The Sith assassin is one of the best figures in the Clone Wars line. She has great articulation in her legs and a removable fabric skirt. Asajj is beautifully sculpted and holds twin lightsabers that connect together. The only issue with the figure is that there is no articulation in the elbows, but other than that, it's perfect.

Destroyer Droid: This is one of the most action oriented figures in the line. The imposing droid can crouch into a fetal position and then be released into attack mode by the press of a button. Once ready for battle, there is are projectile missiles that can be launched from each of it's arms. The articulation in the legs and the arms are adequate, and the sculpting is simple yet accurate.

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.

Battle Droids: These are some of the staples of the Clone Wars line. The sculpt matches the design in the show pretty well, but there are a few technical problems with the 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.

  2. Asajj and the Destroyer are definitely better than the B1's and B2's :D
