Next up in our look at S.H. Figuarts Star Wars figures is another Prequel Trilogy character – the basic Clone Trooper. This is the first version grunt from Episode II Attack of the Clones. He rocks an all white head with the fin and comes with two standard weapons – a blaster and rifle. Above average articulation and smooth stiff joints makes this piece shine, capped with it’s sharp detailed lines in the sculpt and paint. Let’s take a closer look after the break courtesy of site sponsor The Toy Source!

Overall
Beast figure. The Clones are the clones, some folks love, some are eh. As a figure though – it’s awesome. On first glance it’s very similar to the Hasbro Black Series version but when you actually have it in your hands, that’s where the difference lies. It’s dense, feels good. Joints move smooth and keep their position. Extra hands pop on and off easy. Armor has articulation to allow for dynamic poses. The mold is sharp cut, doesn’t feel gummy or have rounded edges where they shouldn’t be. Bottom line, if you are into Clones, the PT or just dig troopers – he’s worth a pick up.

Running some pick up on recent figures that aren't necessarily hot off the presses. First up - Battle Droid:
S.H. Figuarts Star Wars Battle Droid Gallery - The Toyark - News
The thought of a battle droid was completely meh to me but in hand it's really an awesome figure. Great detail, little wear and tear details on the body, amazing articulation considering the limitations of having a really accurate body.
Not sure what the right word is but the sharpness of the molding is incredible. Hasbro and their rubbery plastic would never be able to create a reasonable battle droid. I've got 2 battle droids and finally have my Obi-Wan in hand today. I keep thinking if I should get more since I can't see anyone else making such a nice rendition.
Maybe they'll do a web exclusive of one of those variants they showed off a few shows ago.
Next up - Clone Trooper
Really solid figure. Not into clones too much, but keeping this one in the rotation.
oh man, that clone side by side shot really tells the whole story here.
wow.
Another catch up gallery - SHF Darth Maul:
S.H. Figuarts Darth Maul Gallery - The Toyark - News
Darth Maul does NOT wield dual lightsabers (unlike Ahsoka), he wields a DOUBLE-BLADED lightsaber which is WELDED together. When he fought Qui-Gon, he ignited ONE side of his blades, the extra long handle you can clearly see. It became a single-bladed lightsaber after it was CUT. He never dual wielded lightsabers.
So?
Are you saying you have never done things with your figures for pictures just for fun?
Xenomorphs never did this in the movies either:

For the record, Darth Maul also never stood next to a different Darth Maul, fought his slightly different doppelganger, or killed clones or battle droids in the Phantom Menace. I mean, if you're going to complain about the inaccuracy of film recreation in a toy photo shoot, at least hit all the relevant points.
Just got this on Ebay, new in box, $58.
Also lost my mind and dropped $70 for Kylo Ren, $60 for Obi Wan and $60 for a Luke pre-order. RIP: My Wallet
SHF Obi Wan is up!
S.H. Figuarts Obi-Wan Kenobi Gallery - The Toyark - News
And, just so I can make Cyclopswc's head explode...
Geeze...Obi Wan looks SICK. That second expression is unreal. I've had no real interest in the Figurearts brand in terms of Star Wars, but with this one, I may change my way of thinking. And you get Qui-Gon's saber as well (one of my favorite looking throughout all the movies.) Wow.
