Love, love, love this figure. When he was revealed and I pre-ordered him I was meh. I thought it would be the oversized helmet Ph1 just with blue paint. When I finally received this guy I was over the moon with the new helmet head. Give. Us More. of this figure. In various paint schemes. The Ph1 and Ph.2 Clones are largely perfect now. I'm in for many more. Thanks for the review! PS I use Vallejo Matte polyurethane to dull down shiny paint. Just brush painted. works really well.

That helmet looks far better 👌🏻, R.e: the blue paint, maybe the phase 1 started off shiny then was modified for phase 2 so it didn't stand out/reflect as much. Remember...new clones were nicknamed "shinies" lol nice review, I can't wait to add one to my collection of clones.

I really like the new sculpted helmet. I usually prefer removable helmets but for Clones and Stormtroopers I really don't need to see their faces at all. That said, this particular figure doesn't really have a place in my collection. Its markings are wrong for the Lieutenant and the blue doesn't match the 501 (and it isn't called out as a 501st) so I don't know what I'd do with it. I'll skip this one and hope they do a 4-pack of the blue, red, yellow, and green Clones from AOTC with the new helmet. Or a 4-pack of plain Clones with the new sculpted helmet do go against those Battle Droids they just put up. I'd buy piles of those with this nice new helmet.

It's certainly a love hate kind of figure. It is great to not only get more Andor figures but also one of the best characters in the show who has been long requested. At the same time it is frustrating that the figure is not quite where it should be because of the leg issue. Honestly I could see this leading to a retool of a retool where the new piece here was the torso but if they decide to make new legs for future releases they will have already tooled up this torso so they again will only have to spend half of it like they did here instead of the full retool from the ground up. Whatever gets us closer I guess but they really should have done it like that from the start. Regardless it's great to finally get the character and I'll be curious to see some customs be made from it despite it not being the ideal version but it'll have to do for now. I'd be curious to see you try to find a way to maybe make better legs for this figure even if the upper legs with the flared pants won't be present because they didn't make new ones for the female sculpt. I guess it would have to be straight pants like Vel for now or something. Anyway I think that's it for now but knowing me I've forgotten some stuff. Looking forward to the next review.

@kevint19113 күн бұрын
I just finished rewatching Andor last week and I specifically noted that Dedra was wearing the poofy officers trousers that look very similar to this figure, so I don’t feel that they are terribly inaccurate. Additionally, the actress Denise Gough is 5’5” which makes her the same height as Anton Lesser (the actor playing Major Partigaz) so having his size boots is also about right. Maybe she’s a bit too tall but on my shelf next to Admiral Thrawn and Director Krennick she is a bit shorter and she is also about the same height as the Juno Eclipse in Imperial Officer’s uniform which seems about right. As for the holster, she only had a holster when she was on Ferrix and in those scenes she was also wearing a longer coat over her uniform with a black officers cap. All the times she is wearing the uniform as depicted by this figure she is not wearing the holster of cap. Still, I wish they had included the cap as a nice accessory. The Juno Eclipse cap is too small and the standard officer cap is a bit large but it does work and the hat does look big in the show so it would be okay in my opinion. Given that these are ‘action’ figures it might have been better to have done the Ferrix version with the jacket but I am sure they wanted the female officer sculpt in the garage for future figures should they want to do a Tala from Obi Wan of the female officer from Moff Gideon’s cruiser in season 2 & 3 of the Mandalorian.
@ToysAreTheWay2 күн бұрын
Same here, I have been re-watching for her scenes. She definitely has the poofy pants but I think the torso looks odd once it meets that wider belt and thigh. The proportions are just off, and it looks worse once I look at the boots which are just too bulky. I'm usually very accepting of re-use to get us as much as possible given their tooling budget for TVC but Andor figures seem to get the short end of the stick. Aldhani Cassian has 100% inaccurate legs, while TBS got proper tooling for that figure and Dedra, which is just a touch frustrating. This is also the 2nd "officer" release that is cutting corners in a frustrating way. The Imperial disguise Cal Kestis had a number of inaccuracies that should have been avoided rather than just cranking out officer re-packs left and right. I noticed that Ferrix was where the holster came into play, and I agree that the trench coat version would have been cool. sand could still be a potential future release with a proper cap. I hope we see more female officers but with better lower tooling. 👌😎😎🤘

Great review. This figure looks really nice and one of the details I really like is that she has some kind of wrap around her right palm that is the same color as her tunic. I don’t remember that from the show and it would have been easy to use a generic hand without that detail but they included it for the figure. It is a shame that Hasbro keep putting swivel wrists on female figures. They put swivel hinge wrists on Bo Katan, so I feel like they could do it more but they just don’t. On Indara they could conceal the joint somewhat under the sleeve of the tunic but maybe that would ruin the articulation and make it a wasted effort.
@ToysAreTheWay2 күн бұрын
I know what you mean, that wrap detail is really nice and I had to re-watch that opening scene to check on this accuracy. Totally agree that a little more effort on the wrists can be made, they claim that the smaller wrists don't allow for a larger peg and hinge, and if they produce a hinge at the smaller scale there's potential for QC issues for their current factories and they suggest it would likely break. Hopefully that's something they can figure out 🙏😎🙏
