Hasbro had produced some Clone War Trooper action figures in 2002's SAGA (it says just Star Wars on the packaging but is known as Star Wars Saga)line but with the success of the 2D Tartakovsky Clone Wars TV show in 2003 it produced more Clone Troopers which were well received by fans.

Clone Wars Prequel figures

jedi knightsIt is easiest to break down the Clone Wars figure into three groups:-

1.Realistic Clone Wars Figures.
The Legacy Collection (TLC) from 2008.These figures are aimed more at collectors with a more realistic modeling approach and higher price point. There is more empthasis on obscure characters for the figures, which are all well detailed with good joint articulation.

2.Animated Style Clone Wars Figures.
The Clone Wars Collection (TCW) from 2008. This has been a hugely successful line of figures aimed less at the collector and more towards a younger audience who will love the huge weapons.This series is modeled on the animated TV series.

3.Clone Trooper Action Figures.
This covers a number of Collections including The Clone Wars Collection (TCW) , The Legacy Collection (TLC) and The 30th Anniversary Collection(TAC 2007-2008)

Now is probably the right time to see more of the Clone Wars Characters.

Featured Action Figure

Clone Commander Cody :The Legacy Collection (TLC)

Clone Commander Cody receives a hologram from Chancellor Palpatine telling the commander to execute Order 66. Cody immediately orders clone troopers to fire upon Obi-Wan Kenobi, which sends the Jedi hurtling into one of the sinkholes on Utapau.

Prepare for out-of-this-world excitement with this detailed and articulated Clone Commander Cody figure. Armed with his blaster accessory, your determined warrior is ready to fight through even the toughest battles you set up for him! This awesome action figure even comes with one Droid Factory part. Collect all of the figures (each sold separately) and their included Droid Factory parts to build your very own YVH-1 figure!

Figure comes with a blaster and other accessories and includes one Droid Factory part.(description from Hasbro site.)

This really is a fantastic looking figure with Commander Cody's steely character shining through once the helmet is removed.
It is probably the best rendition yet of Cody but is just a litlle bit too white and clean.
