It's time once again to review another wave of Hasbro's
The Clone Wars action figures!
The sixth wave includes a selection of characters from all over the galaxy...a troop builder, a droid, a Jedi, a bounty hunter, and a young man just trying to find his way in the galaxy!
Galactic Battle GameThis year's pack-in gimmick continues in this wave with Battle Card, Battle Stands, and Battle Dice.
"Free" Sgt. Bric & Battle Mat OfferThe Sgt. Bric offer is no longer included in this wave.
Clone CashThe Clone Cash is no longer included in this wave.
Cartoon Network CodesThe Cartoon Network codes are not included in this wave.
Now, onto the figures themselves!
CW29: Mandalorian Warrior:
 | The Death Watch gets another member added to the action figure kline, and it's pretty much the same exact figure as the figures in the battle pack set. However, the difference this time around is that the weapons have a unique deco.
While the Mandalorians themselves are controversial in the series, the Death Watch warriors have been very fun to collect. Basically taking their visual cue from Jango Fett's look, these troops offer up a long-awaited treat for fans who always wondered about these guys. Now if only they showed up in the series more often!

CW30: R4-P17:
 | An inevitable repaint...it's a wonder that it took so long to be made! Obi-Wan certainly can't fly his Jedi Starfighter without this guy's assisance, so this is a much-needed figure for your collection.
Since this is a repaint of "Goldie" (which was itself mostly a repaint of R2-D2), R4-P17 pretty much has all the accessories and features that all astromech droids in this line have. Nothing unique except for the color scheme...but droid fans love variety!

CW31: Shaak Ti:
 | Finally, an all-new figure in the line, Shaak Ti has had quite a few action figures since her debut in 2002, but this is the first in animated form...and what a figure it is!
Loaded with the full range of articulation points, Shaak Ti wraps it all up in a soft goods Jedi robe, which matches her appearance in the series. No Jedi Council scene is complete without this figure!

CW32: Boba Fett:
 | Boba Fett's debut in The Clone Wars was the single most exciting event last season, and this figure truly knocks it out of the park on all levels.
Super-articulation throughout, this younger version of the most notorious bounty hunter in the galaxy also includes numerous accessories that longtime fans will find familiar: twin blasters, removable armor, and a jetpack. The outfit for this figure is also quite similar to the suit Boba wore as an adult, which is a great nod to the character's original appearance.

CW33: Embo:
 | The final figure in this wave is another very exciting fan-favorite character whose first appearance made a big impact with fans, both in front of the screen and behind the scenes.
The figure is absolutely faithful to the appearance in the show, and he comes loaded down with multiple accessories...all of which can be stored on his utility belt!
The only real negative on this figure is one that is common these days...the accessories fall off very easily. I know that Embo is supposed to be able to remove his helmet and use it as a weapon, but it's a shame that it's not held on a little more securely, despite having a peg inside.
Pet peeves aside, this figuyre of Embo is one of the real highlight of this wave and is not to be missed!
