Better late than never!


Well look who finally decided to show up at my door. After months of delay Sergeant Bric, the Hasbro mail-in redemption figure, and his Galactic Battle Mat has arrived safe and sound.

Sergeant Bric made his debut in the Season 3 opener of The Clone Wars titled Clone Cadets where he and fellow drill instructor El-Les, along with Jedi Master Shaak Ti (both of whom had single carded releases this year) tried to whip a merry band of clones into combat soldiers.

Overall he's a pretty decent figure with 12 points of articulation, blaster and working holster. Hasbro skipped on the ankle articulation, which is a pet peeve of mine, but other than that I'm happy that I went to the effort to send away for him. The included Galactic Battle Mat is something kids are supposed to be using to play this year's pack-in incentive game (die, battle stand and accompanying battle card with stats) but it's a big waste of plastic as far as I'm concerned. Any of you kids actually using this thing?

Well now that that's all over with it's time to start saving those UPCs for the Prototype Boba Fett mail-in figure this fall.
