CW: Waxer & Boil (prototypes)

Waxer & Boil from the 212th Battalion!In Ghost Company. Waxer (left) & Boil (right) as shown below:

They Both appeared in the CW animated series; Episode 20 Innocents.of.Ryloth, the Series starts after Anakin & Ahsoka were able to destroy the Separatist blockade surrounding the planet, thus allowing the ground invasion forces to land.

General Kenobi then led his 212th Battalion "Ghost Company" on land assault as to destroy the Heavy Artillery that prevents General Mace Windu from landing the Republic Transports.

Before Reaching the Heavy Artilleries, Kenobi asked Commander Cody to pick his best men to scout ahead to see whats the enemy planning.

Which Cody picked out Waxer & Boil....


And Now.....for the Preview of the Best of Ghost Company, Waxer & Boil.

This figures will be package into a Battle Pack along with Mace Windu & Commander Cody.(According to most sources, Hasbro has confirm to maintain 4 figures per Battle Pack)

However Note that the figures i about to show you are "prototypes" and are about 80% completed with the following to complete:




While Taking the pictures, i notice that my Waxer is shorter then Boil....i hope the actual figures are not like this, here are the close up to show the differences in height:

A Closer Look:

And my Boil does not have his sling bag and his heavy weapon (i said this because i cant make out what his carrying), here a clearer picture of the entire squad at SDCC 09.(Image with reference to www.rebelscum.com)

Color Comparison
- Waxer & Boil has lighter shade of Orange then 212th battalion BP 08 figures:


Articulation (applies for both)




Clone Trooper Boil Figure:

A Closer look at the Facial & Head Sculpt:



His Mustache too thick and should stretch more all the way to its chin. Image shown below to compare:

A Closer look at the Boil Helmet Sculpt:

The triangle on his helmet looks exactly like the one on Boba Fett Concept figure, no?


Over view of the Figure:




Random Photo's of Boil:












Clone Trooper Waxer Figure:


A Closer look at the Facial & Head Sculpt:



Unlike Boil figure, Waxer has a closer facial sculpt to the actual character.


A Closer look at the Waxer Helmet Sculpt:

Love the Kill Marks! (with all this kill marks, he seems rather kind in the series)



Over view of the Figure:

Wonder whats that peg hole for? (maybe its for jet packs?), has the same twin working holster as clone trooper Jek: http://starwarsilike.blogspot.com/2009/06/cw-senate-security-jek.html




Random Photo's of Waxer:





MACE WINDU

Which also comes in this battle pack and you would wonder why? Hasbro would included Windu and not Kenobi? (as Kenobi commands the 212th Battalion) and plus in Episode 20, Windu made some brief appearances, as seen below:

To my opinion, it could be because that Kenobi, Anakin & Yoda has been in the last few BP, therefore the next best choice of Jedi, Would be Windu!

Comes with Clean Battle Armor! (yeah....great joy...)

OMG..Ugly..the Money spend making its Battle armor, should have gone into making Windu legs articulated!


My Comments:

Although the figures shown here are just "prototypes" of whats to come!

Waxer & Boiler figures are looking quite awesome!

However just purchasing a BP for just these two figure, is kinda a waste of money......but knowing us collector, we still will buy the BP just to get Waxer & Boil, no?

I said it is a waste of money because Windu figure is the same as the single carded, just that the BP version comes with clean battle armor/gear and Cody still the same old figure, still without a revised Helmet Sculpt. (which i didn't even bother to feature it in this post)

So lets see when the actual BP comes...for now here are some random pictures for your viewing pleasure...

SL: BD05 Darth Maul (B.A.D)

Darth Maul, the Sith Apprentice of Darth Sidious, taken in at a young age to the Dark side of the force.

Darth Maul's Skill and ferocity with his twin bladed Light Saber are matched only by his firm believes of the Ways of The Dark Side!

He Made his appearance in SW Episode 1 "The Phantom Menace", in the movie Darth Maul was a menacing Sith that was sent by Darth Sidious to Hunt down Master Qui-Gon & Obi-Wan. his role filled the movie with AWESOME light saber battles and was consider by many fans as a real bad ass sith with the beutiful twin bladed light saber.

However after killing Qui-Gon, Obi -Wan filled with the despair of losing his master, Obi-Wan defeated Maul with a finish blow by slicing his body into half and it tumbled down the shaft into two....

Here a look at his "shirtless" figure which shows his "Intricate Sith Tattoos" which demonstrates his devotion to the Dark Side that covers his entire body, It also Terrify his Opponents. (who wouldn't be terrify of a shirtless guy full of tattoos with a double edge Light Saber, even Yoda would think: Fight Him, Should I? Hmm hmm)


Packaging:



Points of Interest:

1)
"Intricate Sith Tattoos" which demonstrates his devotion to the Dark Side that covers his entire body



2) Famous twin Bladed Light Saber:



3) Semi Cloth Lower Half Apperal

4) Articlulated Legs:

Weapons & Accessories:
- 1x Double Edge Light Saber

A Closer look at the Maul's facial Sculpt:



Look at the connecting lines...(note that this might not apply to all figures)

Over view of the Figure:



My Comments:

Nothing i really like or dislike about this figure....so you can say this more of a preview then a review for you guys.

Good attempt on Hasbro side for producing this, however the Tattoo which covers his entire body dont really look as GREAT as i expect it to be! kinda disappointing....

Plus my figures on the side of the head scupt could see very obvious connecting lines.As shown below (again i only commenting on my figure, this may not apply to all):

However this figure has a better facial experssion and coloring to the Legancy Collection SL-14 Darth Maul.

So hopefully by my pictures, i hope it would give you an idea, if this figure is worth picking up?

To Note: this Figures is part of B.A.D : Build A Droid
