star wars: the clone wars and my proposal for a fully articulated 1/6th clone wars-figure

[hi-res alternate here / introduction]

"Star Wars creator George Lucas has thrilled fans by announcing his upcoming spinoff TV series, Clone Wars, will be preceded by a feature-length pilot movie to be released in theaters. The animated Star Wars: Clone Wars, which is set immediately before the events portrayed in 2005's Revenge of the Sith, will open in movie theaters on Aug. 15. It will be followed by Lucas' long-gestating television series Clone Wars, which will air on Cartoon Network and TNT channels this fall." [via]

in addition to the HASBRO ST:TCW toy-news release [peep], i personally would like to see a hybrid-melding of the visual-style of the animated characters, with "traditional" 1/6th articulated action-figures: sculpted heads, hands/arms on articulated bodies, like so:

... altho it may be a tad too much to ask for differing heights and body-forms (*cough*), but perhaps still doable with selected body-regions, predominately utilizing articulated limbs ... now, that would be highly interesting, IMHO ... but of coz i'd understand if Master Yoda's gonna be a stretch, but hey, it's doable, right? right?


"Star Wars: Clone Wars is an American animated television series set in the Star Wars galaxy. The series chronicles the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic under Chancellor Palpatine, and the Confederacy of Independent Systems (CIS) under Count Dooku.

Chronologically, the series takes place during the three-year time period between the films Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. The original television series was produced by Cartoon Network Studios, and aired in 25 chapters from 2003 to 2005. A 3D CGI series called Star Wars: The Clone Wars will be set in the same time period, will be produced by Lucasfilm Animation and debut in 2008." [wiki]
