While he's a little more plain than the basic stormtrooper, I do have to say that I'm really digging this trooper. Although, now I'm kinda hell bent on trying to find the original trooper to go with him, which I never saw in stores when it was released. Being a fan of the TV series, Commander Cody is on my list as well as Captain Rex when they're finally released. I also hope that we eventually will see a Commander Gree, Fives, 501st, and Wolffe before we are all said and done.

Troopers aside, I DO want a Black Series Dooku and Jango Fett with a fiery, nearly unholy passion. After that, unless it's from the Filoni Series...I could really do without future Black Series 6 inchers from the prequel trilogy (unless they give us a Padme with Baby Luke and Leia!)

I don't know what it is about Yoda, but I've run into him a few times, and something about both the figure and it's price point really throws me off. I applaud the consistency, however I really feel that Yoda should have been priced differently, considering his size and lack of additional accessories to make up for all that empty space in the packaging. It reminds me of the situation many of us ran into with Rocket Raccoon on the Marvel Legends, and I simply don't feel I'm getting enough there for my 20 bucks.

Also, while I am sure I am in the deft minority here...I HATED the fact that it's muppet Yoda, and only because he comes with his lightsaber. I feel that if Hasbro wanted to include the weapon with Yoda, it should have been CG Yoda in the box, and not the old, end of his days muppet Yoda that was featured in the original film.

Of course, I am just nitpicking, and I could always just lose the lightsaber should I pick him up so Yoda will be accurate to his screen counterpart, but still...those are my grievances, however finicky they might be.
