The Clone Wars
Wave 3
Clone Wars #15
Whorm Loathsome

Accessories
Whorm Loathsome come with a blaster and rocket launcher.

Look and Feel
The figure of Whorm Loathsome is a very good likeness of the character seen in the Clone Wars movie right down to the reflections in his eyes. His blaster however doesn't stay in his right hand and falls out of it very easily. The blaster does stay in his left hand much better. The missile launcher sits in his right hand very well though. Loathsome's vest attaches to his back with a post, but it pops out easily if you push his vest from the front.

Articulation
Loathsome's articulation is sub standard in my opinion. He features ball hinged neck, shoulder, and elbows. He also has a swivel wrist, waist and hips. The lack of articulation in his legs causes him to fall over if not balanced with his arms. Sadly this is a flaw of many Clone Wars figures. That is the cost of having weapons with action features.

Overall Reaction
I was excited when I saw the figure hanging on the pegs becuase I enjoy different looking aliens in the Star Wars universe. The sculpt looked good and the paint looked good so I picked him up. Sadly when I got him home and opened him I was really disappointed. Hasbro cheaped out on articulation to give a figure two guns. This character didn't ever feature a gun in the movie! Unfortunately I can't recommend picking up this figure because of the issues standing him up. The figure is just too top heavy.
