JTA foreign correspondent Bryan Mark German reports in with wave 2 of The Clone Wars figures! Once again, USA collectors can expect these figures to hit relatively soon. But for the time being, click through to see some fancy photography of up close loose shots of this very anticipated wave!! (But be prepared for your anticipation turning into some form of dread.)

Hi Paul/JTA,

We recently received these new Clone Wars figs... and all i can say is that this wave is a bit of a letdown...

1. Cap. Rex (Phase 2)... helmet's a bit big and its not even removable!?, helmet and body color does not match, POTF2 legs (yes no knee articulation, basically its just swivel legs...).. it has no torso and wrist articulation... the only good thing here are the details painted all over rex's body... and that's about it...

2. Rep. Commando Boss... lower body articulation is totally forgettable... it only has swivel legs... proportion is a bit off imo... helmet is not removable... upper body articulation includes the ff: ball jointed shoulders, ball jointed elbows, and swivel torso.. yes they forgot to put that wrist articulation as well... the accessories though were quite ok...

3. Aayla Secura... same fig as before... looks cool.. but face likeness is a bit off...

4. Obi-Wan Kenobi... surprisingly.. i find this as the best fig for this wave... a bit of an upgrade from the previous obi-wan except for the lack of wrist articulation, head sculpt is totally awesome and the details on his clothes were improved a lot...

Regards,
Bryan German
