The Star Wars: The Clone Wars toy line ran from 2008 to 2012. Created by Hasbro, the line's purpose was to tie in with the film and television series of the same name.
Background
The Clone Wars toy line was officially unveiled at the 2008 Toy Fair in New York City, in which Hasbro revealed the first full wave of figures, along with the exclusive mail away Captain Rex figure, the V-19 Torrent starfighter and OG-9 homing spider droid vehicles along with one of Hasbro’s first large-scale vehicles, the All Terrain Tactical Enforcer. Its second, the massive clone turbo tank. Hasbro started the promotion for Captain Rex shortly after the Toy Fair event, however, due to problems at Hasbro, the figure was not released until sometime around the July 26 release date for the entire collection.
The full line debuted alongside the Legacy Collection in the fourth "midnight madness" event. Figures from this line featured an animated style, recreating the look of the computer animated film and television series and in contrast to the more realistic look of preceding figures, including several based on the previous Clone Wars cartoon. Figures also included action features such as "missile launching" weapons. The basic line packaging featured a clone trooper helmet design and included "First Day of Issue" stickers on select figures. As before, retailers Toys R Us, Wal-Mart and Target each received exclusive figures. The retail partnership extended to match the retailer's corporate colors, with Wal-Mart receiving an exclusive 501st Legion clone trooper to match their corporate colors and Target receiving the exclusive Commander Fox to match their red color scheme.

Basic Line Figures
The Basic Line figures were first released on July 26th 2008 and have continued until the present day. The initial line of figures consisted of 25 single-carded figures and where produced on a blue and white cardback in the shape of a Clone Trooper helmet. This design ran up until July of 2009, when the packaging changed over to a smaller, red packaging. Currently, it is unknown how many figures will be released in this new packaging, but the line consists of a number of new figures alongside some from the older packaging.
