The Clone Wars
Ambush on the Vulture's Claw

Accessories
Ahsoka Tano comes with lightsaber and poncho.
Anakin Skywalker comes with lightsaber and poncho.
Gha Nachkt comes with a blaster.
IG-86 comes with two blasters and backpack.

Look and Feel
These figures are repaints except for Gha Nachkt, who is a new figure. The figures do look very much like they do on the episode Downfall of a Droid. I especially like the paint apps on Gha Nachkt as it really makes him look like a dirty merchant. The ponchos that Anakin and Ahsoka sport do give them the look that they were given on the show. The IG-86 droid is one of my favorites because he look so much like IG-88 and reminds me a that awesome vintage figure.

Articulation

Ahsoka Tano- Ball-hinged neck, shoulders, knees, and ankles. Swivel forearms, waist, and hips. Ahsoka is a very well articulated figure for the Clone Wars line. She doesn't have ball-hinged elbows, but with how skinny they are... how could you?

Anakin Skywalker- Ball-hinged neck, shoulders, and elbows. Swivel forearms, waist, and hips. Yet again we see this figure released. I am just waiting for the day this figure gets leg articulation!

Gha Nachkt- Ball-hinged neck (though it can barely move), ankles, and knees. Swivel shoulders, wrists, and hips. It would have been nice to get more articulation out of this guy, but in defense of Hasbro... where would you put it?

IG-86 - Is extremely articulated! He has ball-hinged elbows, shoulders, hips, and ankles. In addition he has a swivel head, wrist, shoulder ring, hip ring and torso. On top of all that articulation he even features hinged hands and knees. Nice job Hasbro!

Overall Reaction
To be completely honest I was going to completely skip this set. Sure I liked the Gha Nachkt, but at the price point of $25 it really isn't worth it for one figure! So why did I buy this one? I had a Clone Wars coupon that made it $20 and a Target gift card for $10 (got to love those prescription transfers!). Finally I never bought Ahsoka and I had always wanted two IG-86 droids. So all I had to pay was $10. Done deal! If you have to pay the full price, I would say skip. That is just way too much for figures you probably already have!
