Jar Jar Binks: Yay everyone's favorite figure... ;-) this animated incarnation of the bumbling Gungan isn't half bad. His arms are well articulated but he has no joints in his knees. Like most Clone Wars tridactyls, his ankles are ball jointed. His head sculpting is decent but his ears are a bit too perky, rather than hanging straight down, they jut our backwards. Additionally one of his hands can't clutch anything. Not that I want another Jar Jar, but this figure could use an updated sculpt with super articulated legs and a cloth skirt.

Padme Amidala: Even though it only has limited articulation, stylistically, the white adventure Padmé is well crafted, with great paint detailing and sculpting. She also comes with the cape and hood from the movie that fit well. The blaster at her side looks a bit bulky, but her hand does grip it securely. The style of this figure reminds me a bit of the that of the Tartakovsky series.

C-3PO: Threepio is also a decent looking figure. He has articulation in all the necessary places and can even grip select objects with his digits. The best feature of this figure is that he comes with the glowing eyes that R2s and Jawas tend to have. This really brings life to his face when you shine a light behind it. To me, the color scheme seems a tad to dark. But the sculpting is adequate.

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.
