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!

damn, a 9.9.....it's been a while since we seen one score this good, anyways, nice review, now I need a squad for sure

Looks good. I will be picking up a few of these!

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?)

Lt. Starfox · « **Reply #186 on:** February 25, 2007, 05:47:55 PM »

is the coin metal or plastic?

You and me both. You and me both.

Hey, it will be REALLY sick if they made a Mygeeto battlepack like the they did with the Felucia squadron...

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.

I said the hell with hunting and just preordered my case from one of our sponsors, Andrews Toys. I don't want to get into running everyday looking cause I want them all. Now I know I will get them.

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

Darth Spice · « **Reply #192 on:** March 02, 2007, 10:47:41 PM »

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!

Bloodant · « **Reply #193 on:** March 03, 2007, 12:45:20 AM »

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.

Lt. Starfox · « **Reply #194 on:** March 03, 2007, 10:57:38 AM »

i saw this in person and he does look good in the package for those carded collectors

If you have Droid problems I feel bad for you son, I got a 212th Airborne Trooper and it's a vicious one! (Sorry guys I'm still struggling with the White Rapper being over!) $:-\$

Lt. Starfox · « **Reply #197 on:** March 14, 2007, 10:03:07 PM »

love the clones and this guy was much needed to complete the Utapau squad

RojoHero · « **Reply #198 on:** March 14, 2007, 10:49:55 PM »

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.

RojoHero · « **Reply #199 on:** March 14, 2007, 10:56:25 PM »

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;)

hats on...hats off, the great debate

"tis not the size of the helmet, matters not hmmm .... tis what is underneath the helmet, important that is".... Yoda (after drinking some badly fermented blue bantha milk with green chunks and stumbling out of an unknown cantina.

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

Jaing Skirata · « **Reply #207 on:** March 15, 2007, 04:20:53 PM »

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!

pshorrock72 · « **Reply #208 on:** March 15, 2007, 07:35:53 PM »

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.

jedibrian77 · « **Reply #209 on:** March 15, 2007, 08:14:48 PM »

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.
