Acklay

Target west in Madison had two Acklays on the shelf this morning. These don't seem to be showing up in large numbers.

Ki-Adi Mundi Wave

Kay Bee Toys in Madison had a case of this wave on the pegs today. Joel Y. reports that Wal-Mart east in Madison also had these. Ki-Adi Mundi is figure #44 and Teemto Pagalies is #46. Ephant Mon is figure #45, but not part of this wave. Ki-Adi Mundi is very similar to the EP1 figure, but does have an added joint to his right elbow along with the new magnet style Lightsaber and blast effect. Teempto himself is an OK figure, but having the scavenger droid included really makes this a cool set. The scavenger droid is from a deleted scene and can be seen on the EP1 DVD.

12" Red Clonetrooper & Yellow Clone Commander

Kay Bee Toys east in Madison also had a case of these exclusive figures today. I had tried ordering them online, but they had come destroyed. I thought that I had missed these at retail, but I got lucky. As figures go, they are basic repaints of the normal Clonetrooper. The odd thing is that the red one is still called a Clonetrooper instead of a commander and the yellow one is called a commander instead of a pilot.
