Commentary: While Hasbro has seemingly phased out "classic" generic (as in, nameless) clones from the line, they've still got the mold to keep using. Clone Trooper Draa is one of many figures based on the revised "Stone" body, which is code for no ankle joints and swivel wrists.
Fans of weapons should run out and get as many of this figure as possible. Draa is unique in that the green-striped clone comes with three different guns and a backpack, and there's no spring-loaded gun to sully the eye. I like spring-loaded goofy weapons, but my love of them is conditional. If they're too big to carry, they stop being fun, so this figure does a decent job of just being a collector-friendly release. The red helmet marks are a nice touch, and he fits in nicely with the small number of other green troopers in the line. As to getting Luminara Unduli, well, good luck with that. If you can find it at retail, it'sa good figure. I'd even say its a great starting point to collect this line, just because it gives you a nice chunk of accessories at the get-go.
Collector's Notes: The figure came and went fast, which means you missed it and now it's time for eBay. I'd love to see Hasbro bring this configuration back with new deco.
