| Sculpt: |
| Mace Windu is seen in his CLONE WARS Jedi armor. His dark brown outer robes are still worn over a lighter brown tunic, but he also boasts a grayish, armored shoulder-yoke and gauntlets. The head sculpt features a serious, pensive expression. His large boots are topped by overlapping, brown shin-guards. His right hand holds his lightsaber, while the left is reaching out, as is he is perhaps summoning a Force-push against an enemy. A nicely evocative pose for this character garners it an 8.5 out of 10. |

| Paint: |
| While most of his clothing is still earth tones, the grayish armor gives him a somewhat harsher look. There are 7+ paints on this figure, including the black highlights on his armor and light-blue with black trim on his lightsaber handle. Another 8 /10 here. |

| Articulation: |
| Mace has very limited articulation, just as the rest of this line. Planer-cut joints at his shoulders, neck, and right forearm are it! He has no waist or leg articulation at all. As such, the character is extremely pose-specific, which limits his appeal quite a bit: 5 /10. |

| Accessories: |
| Mace comes with his purple-bladed lightsaber and STAR WARS: CLONE WARS figure stand. The lightsaber has no gold (or yellow) highlights to hint at the "electrium plating," even though the cartoon design has it His large, booted feet peg easily onto the display stand: 7.5 /10. |

| Packaging: |
| The same CLONE WARS design with the stylized Clone Trooper helmet profile and orange fireball as the rest of the line. The insert has a nice picture of Mace in action, his lightsaber over his head, and a nice full-figure picture on the cardback: 8.5 /10 |

| Availability: |
| Yet again, Mace seems to be the pegwarmer of choice in a CLONE WARS line! He's been hanging around since the initial release of this line, and I've never seen a Target that had these figures that didn't have an ample supply of Mace Windus: 9.5 /10. |

| Conclusion: |
| While this figure looks great, its limited articulation is still a major point of contention. Also, the inaccurate paint on the lightsaber handle detracts just a bit from its potential appeal: 7.8 /10. |
