A born survivor – Inspired by his appearances in Star Wars – The Clone Wars, we’re proud to introduce Clone Commander Wolffe from our Sixth Scale Militaries of Star Wars. The leader of the 104th Battalion’s famed Wolfpack, CC-3636 will come loaded with four interchangeable heads, an extensive arsenal, and full range of articulation.

Scarred but steadfast – We’ve chosen a couple of display options from The Clone Wars Seasons 2 through 4 for the battle-hardened commander. Wearing his Wolf design armor and traditional kama, he will come with Phase 1 and 2 helmets, and swap-out heads featuring his battle scar and cybernetic eye. Wolffe’s additional accessories include: EMP Grenades (Droid Poppers), Jetpack, Two Blaster Pistols, Blaster Carbine, The Clone Wars Display Base. The Exclusive version of Wolffe will also include a second display base with the Wolfpack logo artwork.

CC-3636, nicknamed 'Wolffe' started his career with the Grand Army of the Republic serving under Jedi General Plo Koon during the Clone Wars. Proud and famed leader of the 104th Battalion called the Wolfpack, his first mission aboard star destroyer Triumphant would shape the now grizzled veteran for the rest of his career. In an explosive battle with the Separatist warship Malevolence, the majority of the Wolfpack perished in an onslaught of chaos and turbo laser fire. Wolffe, along with Koon, Boost and Sinker were the only surviving members.

After the brutal loss of his comrades, Wolffe had the battalion's armor changed to honor the fallen squad. Dropping the rusty maroon colors for a pale blue, the team's wolf logo would also see a redesign. Despite this first setback, the new members of the Wolfpack are as tight knit as they come, and their scarred stoic leader has no problem inspiring their loyalty.

The Clone Commander Wolffe Sixth Scale Figure features: Wolffe Head and Phase 1 Helmet with Rangefinder from The Clone Wars Season 3, Wolffe Head with Enhanced Cybernetic Eye Implant and Phase 2 Helmet with Rangefinder From The Clone Wars Season 4, EMP Grenades (Droid Poppers), Jetpack, Two (2) Blaster Pistols, Blaster Carbine, The Clone Wars Display Base.

Sideshow Collectibles Star Wars Clone Wars 1/6 scale Clone Commander Wolffe 12-inch figure will come with two 1/6 scale head sculpts with two different expressions, and two different versions of the helmet for a total of 4 heads, along with the usual ridiculous amount of hand styles that all clones receive. What's there not to like?

Sideshow Collectibles presents DC Comics 25.5 inches tall Superman Premium Format figure

"Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound... "

Superman is arguably the most recognized superhero in pop culture, and Sideshow is bringing him to life in stunning 1:4 scale. Set in the frozen sanctuary of the Fortress of Solitude, the Superman Premium Format figure stands over two feet tall, crafted with unparalleled attention to detail. The Man of Steel, DC Comics' iconic superhero, can now be part of your collection.

Superman Backstory:
Light years from Earth, the planet Krypton was on the brink of destruction. In a bid to save the life of his infant son, a scientist named Jor-El placed his baby, Kal-El, in a rocket and set it on a course to Earth. The rocket traveled across the universe before crashing in a cornfield in Smallville, Kansas, where it was found by a kindly couple, Jonathan and Martha Kent. The Kents decided to raise the child as their own, giving him Martha's maiden name, Clark.

Enhanced by Earth's yellow sun, Clark's Kryptonian DNA imbued him with powers far beyond those of normal humans. Though he longed to show off his powers, Jonathan and Martha urged Clark to keep them a secret, worried that he would be taken away from them.

Clark had his first taste of helping others after saving the life of his childhood love, Lana Lang, during a tornado. Martha fashioned him a costume made from the blankets that kept him snug and warm on his journey to Earth. The costume honored his alien heritage; the S-like symbol on his chest was the Kryptonian word for hope, as well as the family crest of the House of El. But even with his new costume, Clark operated in secret.

As an adult, Clark settled in the city of Metropolis and adopted the persona of a mild-mannered reporter at the Daily Planet. There he met star reporter Lois Lane, who was enamored with the brawny Superman. For years, his dual identities worked against him, creating a 'love triangle' between Clark, Superman, and Lois.

Pre-order Original Effect 1/6 Army Attractive Series Vol. 3 Harp Bullseye 12-inch female figure

Backstory from source:
Harp is genetically copy from Viola, same as Sunayuki. Harp was the USA character. She is the best sniper and also has green eyes like viola and Sunayuki. She was lost in a mission and also her contact with her USA base, so she has been staying in the church with the nuns. During her mission, she accidentally met with Viola while she was defeated by Cello and Harp took her back to the church.

This will be the third female figure to be released by Original Effect, the first being Viola (see the preview pictures HERE) and that was followed by Hasuike Sunayuki (previewed HERE). In reality, I think they are all candidates for a 1/6 scale porn movie if anyone ever thought of making one LOL

Original Effect Army Attractive series vol.3 1/6 scale Harp Bullseye 12-inch female action figure will come with 1/6 scale Harp female head sculpt, 12-inch female figure body, hat, coat, skimpy tank top, shorts, gloves, belt, stockings, butterfly ribbon ties on ankles, high heels, M82A1 sniper rifle, comic book. Scroll down to see more pictures

I think parading girls in such skimpy outfits and trying to sell them off as legit military themed figures / characters is a man thing. Some men would love to see this in (porn) films but in the real world, female soldiers can be just as capable as male troopers without having to resort to skimpy costumes that are impractical and can be seen as downright degrading. Black Widow in The Avengers, Resident Evil's Alice and Underworld's Selene are prime examples of how a female character can look sexy and still get the job done without having to resort to showing too much skin ;p I believe there's appeal in that too.

I even like what the girls wore in Sucker Punch because they didn't show too much. A little more cloth would have been preferred for this Army Attractive Series Vol. 3 Harp Bullseye 12-inch female figure but that's just my humble opinion.

As it is, the tank top is hardly there LOL why did they even bother?

She's got an interesting face. And what's with those big ankle ribbons?

She's supposed to be a sniper but I wonder how her outfit helps her to stay tactical and concealed? Hmmm

Maybe the cloak will help... if she remembers to keep her assets well covered

That's certainly a strange way to carry her bullets

You can pre-order this Original Effect Army Attractive series vol.3 1/6 scale Harp Bullseye 12-inch female action figure at TFH
