For collectors of early-2000s Star Wars, few lines carry the nostalgic weight of the 2003 Tartakovsky Clone Wars series. Released to coincide with Genndy Tartakovsky's acclaimed 2D micro-series on Cartoon Network, this 3.75-inch Mace Windu stands apart from every realistic-style Star Wars figure of the era — its bold, angular animated aesthetic is instantly recognizable and wholly unique within the 3.75" scale. It captures the Jedi Master in his iconic armored battle look from the show, the same look fans associate with his legendary one-man stand against the droid army, making it one of the most memorable releases in the entire Clone Wars line.
This is a vintage original 2003 Hasbro release, presented on its white Clone Wars card with bold purple sub-branding, the "As Seen on Cartoon Network" callout badge at top-right, and the distinctive large clamshell bubble intact. The card back features full-body animated art of Mace Windu alongside the complete wave — Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Asajj Ventress, Durge, Yoda, Clone Trooper, and Count Dooku — plus story text referencing the Cartoon Network animated chapters and 2003 Lucasfilm/Hasbro copyright. The card displays light shelf wear consistent with its age, while the bubble remains firmly attached and clear.
This figure slots into the first wave of the Tartakovsky Clone Wars line, which bridged the gap between Episodes II and III and is regarded by collectors as a high point of the early-2000s Star Wars renaissance. Whether you're completing the full eight-figure wave or seeking a centerpiece for a Clone Wars display, this carded Mace Windu is a genuinely scarce find two decades on and a must for fans of the micro-series.
