I have to say those look terrible. Was Obi Wan’s hair knitted or made out of play doh? Cartoon characters do not translate well into Lego.
May 14th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
Terrible or not, collectors will want them, and that’s where my end of the bargain ties up. Unique figs sell for much on Bricklink, and they’re known to fetch back a set’s MSRP
May 14th, 2008 at 5:52 pm
Ew.
That is all.
May 14th, 2008 at 6:05 pm
I don’t care for Anakin or Obi, but I like the aliens a great deal and I’ve very interested in the troopers accessories.
May 14th, 2008 at 6:06 pm
The only one I really have a problem with is obi wan, he looks like he’s wearing a peice
May 14th, 2008 at 6:08 pm
My son will love Cmdr Cody and I’d like to see Plo Koon up close. and yes Obi Wan looks like crap, lets hope thats concept and not final.
May 14th, 2008 at 6:47 pm
As most people have said, Obi-Wan is the only one that’s really that bad.
May 14th, 2008 at 7:18 pm
My question: why does Commander Cody have an Ep. 1 helmet?
May 14th, 2008 at 7:19 pm
Oops, rather, an Ep. 2 helmet.
May 14th, 2008 at 7:24 pm
Wow, Obiwan looks really bad. I’m surprised they released a picture like that. I think he’s a prototype, as we had leaked pictures of Viking prototypes with similar looking beards. Needless to say, we never saw those beards in actual production.

Re: “Cartoon Characters do not translate”: I have to disagree with such a blanket statement. The SpongeBob characters are very well done. The problem with the Star Wars figs (at least Obiwan and Annikin) is not the “translation” but the animated source material. The clone wars cartoon is a strange translation of the live-action characters.
Of course, I hate the “peachies” so these are just more heads fr my junk pile.

@Tedward: Bring your peachy heads to BrickCon and I’ll happily take ‘em off yer hands.

Those storm troopers look awesome! I also love the general Grievous
body guards! I hope they come out soon!

Obi wan’s hair looks like something made on one of those 3D printers. Wonder if they have started to use one of those for some prototyping?
May 15th, 2008 at 5:58 am
i just want these sets for the clones
May 15th, 2008 at 6:43 am
I’m surprised they made a new mold for Asajj’s lightsabers…hopefully they’ll be just as useful as their predecessors. And yes, Obi-Wan looks terrible, and I think Plo Koon does too. And to agree with Tedward, I think it’s a bad translation of the animation style. They should have worked on the designs a bit to make them more realistc before making the molds. They look too cheesy to me.

Is it being picky to say I actually dislike the clone weapons? They just don’t do anything at all for me. That being said, I like the troopers. That new Republic Dropship *will* be mine.
May 15th, 2008 at 7:42 am
Super cool! I do miss the chrome hilts though.

Remyth, to answer your question abou the helmet, the Clone Wars movie/tv series takes place between episodes 2 and 3. I’m guessing we’ll see an evolution of technology/gear throughout the series. It makes sense to start with the earlier incarnation.
May 15th, 2008 at 11:47 am
Ugh, not into this. Those big eyeballs look retarded on a minifig and Obi is beyond words in horribleness. These are so bad that even as a Star Wars fan, I have no desire to collect them.
May 15th, 2008 at 6:27 pm
It’s a shame that some really amazing MOCs on the site of sites get no reviews, or 1 review, and this fanboy crap gets 22 ? Commander Cody and Maztr Chef must be friends forever.

Curse not having a scanner. I could have had my fifteen seconds of fame… *walks off into the distance mumbling*

I kind of think Plo Koon’s head looks a bit too skinny. I really like the clone troopers and Ahsoka though. People should stop being so negative, although Obi Wan doesn’t look…great…hes not horrendous enough to make me not want him. Also if that head does end up being the final product, you could always replace it with the old obi wan head or make a jedi with awesome clone armor. Looking forward to these sets!
May 16th, 2008 at 11:39 am
I’ll be negative if I want because for real, they suck.
May 17th, 2008 at 1:35 pm
I really dislike the Magnaguard, the head part of it looks like something out of megablocks, they should have stuck with the Lego StarWars designs for all of the characters so they dont look out of place with the other figs. Ventress’ head looks way to skinny and Obiwan is just plain ugly, Plo Koon can be greatly improved, and they should have stuck with cloth for the pauldrons and kamas.Meh, ill get one set and scrap it for pieces.

those magna gaurds don’t even look like lego or megablocks they just look like an ordinary toy
obi wan:
his hair is atroshus ( the face isn’t so bad i might just keep it with all my odd peices)
anakin:
he isn’t so bad, the only thing different to nornal lego is the hair which still isn’t to bad
i really don’t like the siths hilt they don’t look right to me
the clones:
they (again) don’t look like lego or megablocks they just look like normal toys (which lets face it, sucks!)
May 30th, 2008 at 2:58 pm
I am a huge star wars fan. I think they all look nice except for obi-wan. Anakin is fine, the clones rock, the magna guards look a little “megablocksie” but not bad, Asajj is okay and Obi-Wan I loved the old Obi-Wan this one STINKS! I hope he is a prototype.
June 19th, 2008 at 3:21 pm
I have one of those anikan figures its okay. obiwans horrible. the two other jedi are……ok. the clones rock. magna guard………..omce again…ok
July 8th, 2008 at 11:19 am
the clones are the best
July 15th, 2008 at 10:47 am
Wow I feal sorry for obi wan.
July 16th, 2008 at 1:02 pm
Well teh clones are great but god wtf were they thinking when they made obiwan he is beyond horrendous
July 24th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
asajj ventress in the trailer for the new movie is so ugly.

August 2nd, 2008 at 11:16 am
