Looking at how they handle their Mandlorian lineup, i'm not confident we'll see much more than clones if they proceed with that Clone Wars line. HT have been lazy with actual human/alien headsculpt/characters for some time now. Especially in the Star Wars licence.
 
This is a no brainer for HT to visit. I look forward to seeing who they have in addition to Rex. I'd expect an Ahsoka to sell like crazy given the lack of collectibles for her and how much demand there was for the GG bust.

Including realistic and animated heads would be the best!

Only one problem tho. HT hates making female figures. Even ones that would sell really well.

Other than Wonder Woman and Harley, I cant even think of female recent offerings.

Even now, all these years later, MoS Faora-Ul would be a day 1 preorder for me. We'll never, ever see her. Even despite the fact she's armored except for her head. Nope.

I would eat my hat if we got Ahsoka. If we did, she'd have those fugly female joints.

They’d at least release Maul. Given we got one from Solo’s 5 seconds, I imagine they’ll want to triple dip on him. I’m curious if this covers ALL of the clone wars or only this last season?
 
Thinking about all the Clone Wars characters I might put on my shelf is daunting. I have the Sideshow Ventress and a custom Ashoka which would be the two I would most certainly order and look to replace. The others just start stacking up from Anakin to Cad Bane. Hope they flesh out this line appropriately.

Literally before today their last figure up for preorder was the Spider-Gwen that they developed a new body for.

Anyway I see them going the realistic route. If they don't, then Dooku, Obi-Wan, Yoda, and Anakin would all need cartoon aesthetic re-issues. I didn't put it together, but now it kind of makes more sense that they're re-issuing the RotS Yoda. 2 runs on that one, I doubt they're going to do a 3rd in cartoon image.

Plus the same with Cody, our one Clone figure so far is realistic looking. Then are they going to re-do Cody also for the cartoon look?
 
Hopefully they include a helmet that isn't the Ahsoka tribute ... it's a bit too scene-specific for my tastes.

Though i'd gladly add a TCW Maul to the collection (having ordered TPM and Solo versions already), i'd soon hope for other characters i doubt HT would ever consider such as Savage Opress, Cad Bane, Pre Vizsla, Jedi Temple Guard, Embo...

Yeah I was thinking that too. Swap out parts for more options and also generic clones rather than Rex specific would be nice but I'd doubt those.
 
I don't think Rex wore that helmet in the show so we should be good with getting his regular one.

Seamless arms are must for figures imo, can't believe people buy those Harley Quinn figures with visible knee and elbow joints.

Yea, I think the issue with Harley are the tattoos.

Yes seamless is the way. I believe you're right there with the Tattoos CBJon. It was the same with Drax.

However I prey (for Drax ver 2 hopefulyl for GotG 3) they have progressed with their tech and a body like Hellboy is now possible.

That Harley Quinn is an abomination !

Looking at the abomination that is GG's "realistic" Sabine Wren, I'm very nervous a "realistic" Ahsoka just won't be the same character.

I would imagine that they'll include both helmets or even one of them as an "exclusive." It'll prompt people to buy more than one to have multiple display options.

He didn't. He held it for the presentation and then went to his standard. Rex will probably include the Ahsoka one as a prop rather than something to actually switch out.

I'm interested to see how they handle this releases on this. IF they go realistic as many of you think, there is the sculpts there with just some minor tweaking to make them show specific which could/would say that we could get quick releases and multiple releases hitting for order. If it's animated though we might see this drawn out for a bit.
