Title: Clone Wars Ambush at Abregado Battle Pack
Post by: Clonehead on November 19, 2009, 08:53:59 PM
Picked this one up at Target yesterday for $24.99
This is a Target exclusive Battle Pack commemorating an episode from last season where Plo Koon's command ship is destroyed and the Jedi master, Clone Troopers Sinker and Boost and clone commander Wolffe, abandon ship in an escape pod just before the vessel is destroyed.

The pack comes with Plo Koon, Sinker, Boost, and a Rocket Battle Droid.
The Plo Koon is a repaint of last year's figure that includes a lightsaber and the option of interchangable hood positions. both the hood up and hood down pieces are pretty cool accessories and great custom fodder for other figures.  Master Plo Koon has decent articulation from the waist up but is lacking knee and ankle joints.

The Rocket Battle Droid is a repaint of this years figure and includes an E-5 droid blaster rifle, a missile firing Grapple gun, and a removable rocket pack. Those lovely rubber bands that Hasbro uses to secure figures into packaging has warped the neck of this battle droid, it seems.Also, there is no knee, ankle, or wrist articulation in this droid.

Boost is a repaint of the echo figure with a repainted Denal helmet and a Gree head. He is superarty like all clones and includes a dc-15 blaster rifle.

Sinker is also a repainted echo figure and Denal helmet combo with an all new clone sculpted head this time with grey hair and includes a dc-15 blaster hasbro's tight containment for the helmets in this bp kind of warped the fin on Sinker's helmet.

It's a cool pack, guys, and the two space troopers look great posed with last year's release of the armored vested spacetrooper. I kind of miss the old battle packs that had 5 figures in em as Clone Commander Wolffe would have really rounded this BP out.

another great review Clint. Looks like the bps are getting less wide or just plain smaller all together. I guess the days of five figures for twenty bucks in a bp are over.

I really need to contact Hasbro or my local stores about the delay on these items.  It seems to be about two months after you guys mention them that they come out here.
