| Quote: | Description:
Yoda is assigned a squad of Coruscant Guard troopers who act as protective escorts when the Jedi Master is on official business for the Republic. The troopers also enfore the law on Coruscant and play an increasing powerful role when Palpatine declares martial law and further increases his control of the Republic. As Yoda tracks down Separatist collaborators in the capital city, these elite troopers provide him with additional support when scouring the dark underbelly of Coruscant.
Yoda™:
One of the greatest Jedi Masters in the history of the galaxy, Yoda works ceaselessly to bring an end to the Clone Wars. A capable leader on the battlefield and in political negotiations, Yoda is gifted with both extraordinary wisdom and power.
Coruscant Guard™:
Under the command of Commander Fox, these elite clone troopers guard the security of the planet during the Clone Wars and protect important dignitaries and leaders. |
Unveiling the figures...
Plenty of rubber bands securing the figures, so do make sure you have a scissors ready.
Coruscant Guard(a.k.a. Cmdr. Fox's troops)
Same mold and joint as the current batch CW troopers, only difference are the markings and paintwork. They have the usual 14 points of articulation.
Yoda
 
 
 
He's probably the exact same figure as the carded one. Apart from the Force action feature, he also comes with 8 points of articulation.
Some more poses for the Master.
The accessories...
From the 1st photo, the DC-15 butts are numbered, 1 to 3. Wonder why that's so.
And of course, with enough figures, and complete squads, certain scenes can be created...
"Take your time, General"
"Follow me, MEN!"
*Sounds of blaster fire*

Wow... nice... the clones looked better than Yoda, in my opinion. (and how come US had it that cheap? Conversion shouldn't have sheared off that much...)

They never do follow exchange rates... plus don't forget about the shipping...
Anyway, for the sake of comparison, a normal carded figure in U.S. is USD$6.99, and it's SGD$17.90... Go figure that out...

But seriously, the clone commander looks cool...

Yeah, i know...i'm just drooling at the prospect were they to follow the exchange rate..
I'd got one of the figures from Onslaught..they are not as articulated as i thought...but great though...the DC-15S looks neat ..

I got Bly from him too. At first I couldn't figure out the joints. xD
Do they sell the clone commander by himself, or do we have to own the pack?

| lolx its already one of the most articulated figs so far... equivalent to that of a SA figure. the plus point is that they can stand on their own much more easily than an SA figure. the minus point is they are still using swivel hips.. instead of the ball-joint hips of AT-TE gunners.. |

He is. But he's not part of this battlepack. You can check out a review on him over here -> http://www.starwars.sg/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2508

Great review!
I want to ask, can the animated clone trooper's hip swivel upwards or is it blocked like the Super-Articulated Trooper's ? |
