The newest review is up  and ready for your inspection. Have you Troopers made this find yet? Report back and let us know your thoughts. Check it out here!

I have found only one of these, and consider myself lucky.  I, too, am a bit disappointed that it's not movie accurate, but if you're going to do it as a repaint, the VTSC mold was a good choice (save for missing a flip-up visor).

It's a whole new beginning and I was really impressed with the Galactic Marine. How hard you think this one will be? Check out the review here!

I can't say what an improvement the coin vs. the hologram figure is either. They threw in a little bit of nostalgia at us with the packaging that serves as a great reminder the 30 years has been. (Showing my age again aren't I?)   :P

Thanks for the info , the  review it was great.

After reading this review I have goosebumps.

I just hope that Hasbro has the foresight to have more available per case of these clones because I know I will want at least six.

I just hope to be able to  get at least one the first couple of weeks these become available.

I guess there will be a high demand for the new McQuarrie Stormtrooper also. :)

Some sort of metal, if I'm not mistaken.

I'm not looking to break it but I'm guessing it's plastic. However you can catch our latest review and let me know if you think it's hot poo-doo on a platter or cold droppings on a paper plate! Check out the review of the Mustafar Lava Miner!

I agree on the new figure idea, in lieu of another Obi-wan or DV.
When I frist saw this new character I knew I had to get at least five. Maybe a "flea" will be released in the future for this character.

I really like this figure. I can't understand why it wasn't released with the ROTS collection? I expect to see variations with the white, white and grey.
I do like the packaging.. It has the similar artwork of the Unleashed figures but tight and compact.

Another figure that wasn't released with the ROTS line.. As soon as you saw this figure in purple with Mace you knew a repaint was coming..
This is an awesome figure..

"The fact they realize the collectors would rather have this feature on the clones and we're seeing it more and more speaks volumes."


I have to 100% completely disagree with this statement in your review.....I HATE absolutely HATE the removable helmet Clone Troopers.  You turn there head the helmet pops up and many of these removable helmet clones can not hide the chin from showing.  And lastly most of the helmets are made of soft plastic which causes the helmet to warp.

I say stick with the SA sculpt and all is well

I love the removable helmets on figures. Always have since the vintage Lando Skiff from RotJ.
Maybe a better made helmet would satisfy some, maybe not. I say keep 'em coming. Or at least have the commader clones have removable helmets and the cannon fodder clones keep thier hats on.

That's why we have this thread Bossk! I didn't really think that these will more than likely be the first things to turn yellow too, however I do like the CLONE TROOPERS with removable helmets. The purist in me thinks the OT Troopers should have the buckets ON.

I pointed out a negative to your review (well my opinion)....I guess I should give a positive.

I've been reading your reviews for a while now and I usally agree with most of your review.

I just get really heated about Clones with there helmets off;)

Out of all the things to get heated about, I think removeable helmets would be the last.

I think most everyone has seen pix of my custms or and collection. Every one has a removeable bucket! I love the feature. But there is the normal head oversize helmet vs undersized head and normal bucket debate... should we go there next... LOL!

Anyway, to keep things on topic. Great review cant wait to get my hands a a couple of these!

The air borne trooper helmet kind of reminds me of a Utah Interstate sign, the bee hive.. they did a great job on this figure and the decent rifle unlike the flimsy rifle with the galactic marine.

I really like both removeable helmet and straight SA but I do wish the helmets were a little bigger to cover the chins when the shoulder paldrons are on. I also agree that I think the only removeable helmet OT troopers should be Han and Luke in Stormtrooper Disguise.
