The Star Wars Black Series Wave 4 galleries continue today with #14 Clone Trooper! Packed in the case along with Ep 3 Anakin Skywalker, Wave 4 gives us 2 solid Prequel characters. The clone trooper has the ability to be repainted over and over, and Hasbro has already started that process :). Read on to check out some high res pics and some quick thoughts, courtesy of site sponsor Entertainment Earth!

Star Wars Black Series #14 Clone Trooper
Pros
Great troop builder basic figure
Cons
Torso armor seems a bit “pudgy”
Overall
The Clone Trooper is another solid troop building figure to go along with the Sandtrooper and Stormtrooper, giving Hasbro a base for ample repaints that folks may actually want. He moved well, had nice clicky joints at the shoulders, and the hands handled the weapons well. The armor for clone troopers has an odd thickness in the torso, coupled with the plating sitting raised above the leg – if you don’t watch it you can get some weird looking poses. But, done right, this is a great figure for the shelves. Now, can we get a six pack at a discount please?
Check out some key shots below, and full gallery after that in slideshow format!

To be continued...
The Clone Trooper isn't quite as good as the Stormtrooper. However, it still looks like a really solid figure. I'd like to see a version with a bit of weathering. The Anakin looks ok I guess.
anakin has a weird face, but i think the outfit molding and painting is quite good, i believe the reason the clone doesnt look as awesome is because he isnt as "shiny" as the ones in the movies.
I agree, Anakin's expression is a little odd. But honestly, I'd prefer this over some snarling visage.
I told myself when this line started that I would only buy OT figures in the 6"-scale and nothing else. But that pic of Anakin and Obi Wan getting ready to throw down makes it really hard to hold true to that rule.
The Clone trooper, OTOH, is an easy pass. I was never really into that design beyond it being a prototype for the classic Stormtrooper version.
And, Jabba up:

The glued down bubble sucks ass. Kills the entire point.
Agreed. If I pick it up, I will probably leave it all intact and in the box. Just remove Jabba and Crumb for some display pics, then back in the box.
The one problem I can foresee with this box set is that, at some point, you're likely going to see a store exclusive that will throw Jabba, Leia, and Boba Fett into a set with a similar diorama display. Maybe not soon, but it wouldn't surprise me to see something like that within a year.
I'd buy one, I have sucker, re-sucker written all over me.
I'm more into the ancillaries, want crumb! need crumb!, exclusive crumb! supercrap.
I agree that Anakin has a different facial expression. Jabba is not that impressive.
Heads up everybody! This may be old new, but it was new to me; I saw SW TBS 6" figures at Walmart this morning. I guess they FINALLY decided to carry them.

Pay me...
After the SDCC version, the retail Jabba just seems like an incomplete waste.
also he seems undersized.
I got the regular Jabba and took it back when I got a deal on the SDCC version. Way better. Just not sure if I want to take him out of the box and display with Slave Leia and Boba. My Boba and Carbonite Han however, will stay in their package on display.
After seeing it in person and these pics, I'm not sure I even want the retail version of Jabba.
Is there any actual difference in the Jabba figures itself? (Besides lacking the accessories) Someone mentioned to me the saliva detail was better on the SDCC exclusive.
