Star Wars Black Series The Clone Wars Figures — Complete Guide

The Star Wars Black Series Clone Wars sub-line is one of the deepest animated series collections in the Galaxy Collection era — 22 figures released between 2020 and 2026 covering the beloved Dave Filoni animated series with a mix of clone army variants, Force users, bounty hunters, and the Siege of Mandalore cast that animated fans had been requesting since the Black Series launched. The Clone Wars animated series occupies a unique position in the Star Wars Black Series because its characters bridge the prequel trilogy of the films and the Original Trilogy era — Ahsoka Tano, Captain Rex, and clone commanders like Jesse and Cody exist in both the animated series and later live-action Disney+ properties, giving the sub-line significance beyond just the original show.

The Clone Wars sub-line is also the primary home for the Black Series’ most comprehensive clone trooper variant programme outside of the Gaming Greats Fallen Order troopers. Kamino standard, 332nd Ahsoka, 212th Battalion, 187th Battalion, Phase II standard, ARC Trooper Fives, and Clone Commander Jesse give army builders a range of Clone Wars-era trooper configurations across standard and elite classifications — the most diverse clone army display available in any single sub-line.

What Is the Black Series Clone Wars Sub-Line?

The Black Series Clone Wars sub-line is the Phase 4 dedicated collection for the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series (2008–2020), numbered CW 01 through CW 22. Unlike the live-action film sub-lines, the Clone Wars figures use a slightly more stylised approach on face printing to reflect the animated series’ visual aesthetic — characters look accurate to their animated designs rather than photorealistic. The sub-line launched in 2020 with a strong Walmart exclusive wave that immediately established the Siege of Mandalore as its thematic centrepiece.

Ahsoka Tano — The Sub-Line’s Central Character

No character defines the Clone Wars sub-line more than Ahsoka Tano, and the sub-line has produced two dedicated versions. Ahsoka Tano (Clone Wars) at CW 02 (2020, Walmart exclusive) is the animated series look with her blue and white Padawan markings and paired lightsabers from the Siege of Mandalore era. Ahsoka Tano (Padawan) at CW 13 (2023) covers her earlier Padawan appearance with orange and white markings — a younger, less battle-hardened configuration. Together these two Ahsoka releases cover the two primary stages of her Clone Wars journey, while the Ahsoka sub-line covers her adult live-action appearances and the Credit Collection provides a Target-exclusive version of her Mandalorian-era appearance.

Clone Trooper Army Building

The Clone Wars sub-line’s clone programme is the deepest in the Black Series outside the Attack of the Clones sub-line. Clone Trooper (Kamino) at CW 01 is the standard white Phase I armour army builder. 332nd Clone Trooper at CW 03 (Walmart exclusive) is the distinctive Ahsoka-marked trooper from the Siege of Mandalore — orange helmet markings painted as a tribute to Ahsoka’s facial markings, one of the most visually striking clone variants in the line. Clone Trooper (212th Battalion) at CW 09 (Walgreens exclusive) has the orange-marked Obi-Wan battalion armour. Clone Trooper (187th Battalion) at CW 10 (Walgreens exclusive) carries purple markings. Phase II Clone Trooper at CW 14 provides the later-war armour configuration in standard white. ARC Trooper Fives at CW 16 (Walmart exclusive) covers the elite ARC designation from the Umbara arc. Clone Commander Jesse at CW 12 (Walmart exclusive) with his distinctive tattooed helmet markings is the Siege of Mandalore’s most visually iconic commander.

The Villains — Bounty Hunters, Sith, and More

The Clone Wars sub-line has produced an exceptional villain lineup. Cad Bane (TCW) at CW 06 is the Duros bounty hunter in his distinctive wide-brimmed hat configuration — one of the most popular Clone Wars characters and a strong figure whose alien design ages well. Asajj Ventress at CW 07 delivers the Nightsister assassin with twin curved lightsabers, a figure that had been requested since the Black Series began given Ventress’s popularity in the series. Asajj Ventress (Bounty Hunter) at CW 21 covers her later career configuration. Aurra Sing at CW 08 is the marksman bounty hunter with sniper rifle and lightsaber — a character whose visual design translates powerfully to 6-inch scale. Darth Maul (Cybernetic Legs) at CW 11 is the Clone Wars-specific Maul with his spider-like mechanical lower body from his Dathomir resurrection arc. Savage Opress at CW 19 finally gives Maul’s brother his Black Series debut. Pre Vizsla at CW 17 with the Darksaber is the Death Watch leader — the first live-action Mandalorian warrior figure in the sub-line given his later appearance in The Mandalorian’s backstory. MagnaGuard at CW 15 provides the Separatist bodyguard droid with electrostaff. Commando Droid at CW 18 adds the lethal Separatist elite droid.

The Siege of Mandalore

The Siege of Mandalore — the Clone Wars series finale arc covering Ahsoka and the 332nd battalion’s battle against Darth Maul on Mandalore — is the thematic heart of the Clone Wars sub-line and the display most dedicated Clone Wars collectors target. The sub-line provides all the essential figures: Ahsoka Tano (Clone Wars), 332nd Clone Trooper, Clone Commander Jesse, Darth Maul (Cybernetic Legs), Mandalorian Loyalist, and Mandalorian Super Commando. This is a complete scene display achievable entirely from within one sub-line — unusual for the Black Series — and it is one of the most cinematically satisfying dioramas the line can produce.

Jedi Temple and Coruscant Scenes

Beyond the Siege of Mandalore, the Clone Wars sub-line covers the Jedi Temple and Coruscant sequences through Jedi Temple Guard at CW 20, Quinlan Vos at CW 22, and MagnaGuard at CW 15. The Jedi Temple Guard in particular is one of the most distinctive figures in the sub-line — the masked, pike-carrying temple sentinel is a visual design unique to the animated series that appears in the Ahsoka wrongful accusation arc.

Clone Wars vs Attack of the Clones — Which Sub-Line for Clones?

The most common question for Phase I clone collectors. The AOTC sub-line provides film-era Phase I configurations — standard white, yellow lieutenant, and forthcoming variants. The Clone Wars sub-line provides animated-series Phase I and Phase II configurations with specific unit markings tied to story arcs. For a Geonosis arena display, AOTC is the primary source. For a Siege of Mandalore, Order 66, or Clone Wars battle display, the CW sub-line is essential. Many collectors build both.

The Clone Wars Sub-Line vs Other Prequel Collections

The Clone Wars sub-line occupies a distinct space between the film sub-lines and the Bad Batch sub-line. Unlike the Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith sub-lines which focus on film-accurate configurations, the Clone Wars figures use animated-series aesthetics — a slightly more stylised face printing approach tuned to the show’s visual design rather than strict photo realism. This means Clone Wars figures of human characters like Obi-Wan Kenobi or Anakin Skywalker look different to their film sub-line counterparts, which some collectors find off-putting but which accurately reflects the animated series’ distinct visual identity.

The practical implication is that a Siege of Mandalore display built entirely from Clone Wars sub-line figures has a consistent animated aesthetic, while mixing Clone Wars and film sub-line figures creates an era inconsistency visible in the face printing. Collectors who want a clean display either commit to one aesthetic or display the Clone Wars figures in their own separate section.

Secondary Market Notes

The 2020 Walmart exclusive wave — Ahsoka Tano (Clone Wars), 332nd Clone Trooper, Mandalorian Loyalist, Mandalorian Super Commando — is the hardest portion of the sub-line to find at retail price given the exclusivity and the sustained demand for Ahsoka figures in any configuration. These four figures command secondary market premiums that reflect their continued collector appetite. The 2022 Walgreens exclusives (212th and 187th Battalion troopers) are more modestly priced given Walgreens’ broad retail footprint. The 2023 mainline figures — Darth Maul (Cybernetic Legs), Phase II Clone Trooper, MagnaGuard, Pre Vizsla — are widely available at or near retail.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best Black Series Clone Wars figure? Ahsoka Tano (Clone Wars) at CW 02 is consistently rated the sub-line’s standout for character significance. 332nd Clone Trooper is the most visually distinctive army builder. Darth Maul (Cybernetic Legs) is the best Maul variant in the line for Clone Wars display purposes.

Is the Clone Wars Ahsoka the same as the Mandalorian Ahsoka? No — they are different figures. The Clone Wars sub-line Ahsoka figures use animated series face printing tuned to her animated design. The Ahsoka sub-line and Credit Collection figures use Photo Real face printing for live-action Rosario Dawson likeness. They are distinct display pieces.

Are Clone Wars figures compatible with other Black Series figures? Yes — all Black Series 6-inch figures are the same scale and display together without issue. The animated-style face printing on Clone Wars human characters is the only visual difference, and on the shelf this is subtle enough that mixed-era Clone Wars displays work well.
