Clone Corner # 119: Vintage Collection Clone Wars ARC Trooper Captain (Fordo) and ARC Trooper

[@Darthdre758]

The older mold ARC were based on the Dark Horse Comic Clone Wars version of ARCs. I always liked that look better than the plain version…but still love this version too.

[@poopooman-q7r]

i hate the TCW arc design lol

[@kennythetrend3688]

@@poopooman-q7r Personally, I wouldn't say hate, but I prefer the TCW designs for Arcs over the FCW Arcs. I just don't like the grey chest armor. Otherwise, I like the Order 66/ARC 17 type of Arc Trooper design. I feel you get the best of both worlds.

[@QuinQueso]

9:18 I saw in a video breaking down all of the basic republic blasters that fordo used modified DC-17s with suppressors

[@biged961]

I was so lucky to get both of these guys this past week. I ordered them Tuesday and got them the next day. Didn't even have to pay extra for shipping at Walmart

[@holden_7597]

Managed to get myself one of the Fordo’s a few minutes ago. It’s like the first 3.75 inch figure I’ve bought and I’m very excited for him.

[@Nolans_Stop_Motions_reviews_YT]

I just think of the ARC Trooper as an ARC Trooper Rex.

[@CloneCommanderCrater1102]

It's just a regular ARC lieutenant. The blue striping is because the Alpha ARCs continued to use the rank colors for the duration of the war.

[@WrexFactor27]

I have so many of the dark horse order 66 arc troopers. When the economy was still booming around 2016-2018 I bought every one I could off eBay and was lucky enough to get four of the yellow arc troopers as well. Funny enough the red arc trooper with the torn Kama had a bootleg for a while and I ordered one and gave it a heavy trooper visor from a Lego set to distinguish it from the rest.

[@Jcc2224]

You're probably the reason I couldn't get more!! lol

[@reverbtheraptor8529]

What you could do to really make that Fordo complete to the micro series is give him the wrist gauntlet attachment from the Fordo in the Arc troopers battle pack.

[@decepticonleaderstarscream6551]

Maybe the Fordo name issue has to do with Hasbro copyright As I remember the reason why we didn't get any new Bumblebee figures during the Beast Wars and Unicron Trilogy eras was because Hasbro lost the copyright to that name.

[@TheBenjaman]

I got 2 of the arc troopers and one of the fordos They are sooo awesome, the cardbacks are super clean. I dont mind the blue arc having the pistols, i have one of the arcs displayed with the arc rifle and one with the regular dc15. Man they look so awesome together Also got 2 of the droids cuz they nice.. i may actually get the other 3 figures from this line to finish up the collection.

[@SoftEndy]

I got two blue and one Fordo as well

[@NinjaaGt]

I'll do the same

[@3.75istheway7]

That body does fit with phase 1 definitely! I think it’s the helmet and the thing around the waist

[@KickapooNinja]

Some of the ARC Troopers used DC-15A's with a grenade launcher and some of them used Westar M5's I managed to order some of the Westar M5's on eBay lol the Blue ARC's look super kool with the rifles

[@seoul08]

Both my Fordo and blue arc trooper came with smashed and bent cards. Thanks Walmart!

[@Orbitt66]

hello jcc2224 you inspired me to do clone figure collecting and my blue arc trooper helmit is a bit off but i love it

[@Zadestroyah]

I got two Fordo's this past week and the cards were SCREWED; one was crushed to a point where it was not even hard to open it; the other was just creased and such. It sucks but I'm still glad I got it.

[@waouighaeoua541]

I really wish they released the Fordo with the phase II helmet and pauldron.. I don't want to spend $100 on it..

[@Mega-P71]

If you know someone with a 3D printer then you could always print some white rectangles to fit in the holsters along with the show accurate rifles. Turn those holsters into ammo pouches and then everything will be as it should.

[@thatmtgnerd]

Walmart canceled my orders again:( Time to go to the ebay hellscape lol. They look great totally worth it.

[@commanderblaze9gaming397]

Fordo is still up

[@GoldenMoonOfDeltaCommentaries]

The only problem I have with these is the lack of the grapple tazer communicator on the left arm

[@maddwoba]

When I moved I found two 1 gallon zip lock bags full of weapons from all those saga legends I bought years ago 😂

[@baccalaureate643]

1:55 Did you mean chefs kiss?

[@Jcc2224]

HAHAHAHA I MADE THAT MISTAKE AGAIN. I ALWAYS DO I DON'T KNOW WHY. THEY'RE SO DIFFERENT

[@anyellrodriguezjoubert333]

I got them a few days ago and I was so happy 😃

[@slickmanfonzthatanti-troll]

Actually fun fact. Every clone during phase 1 era. Looked like Brodie Taylor. All clones began to look like Temuera by episode 3

[@Jcc2224]

Bodie Taylor was meant to play the "clone in his early 20's" (ignoring the rapid aging in that statement for simplicity's sake), which was what most of the clones in the AOTC era were at. By the end of the war they had aged physically by 6 years.

[@slickmanfonzthatanti-troll]

@@Jcc2224 Very true. Which I'd say every clone In episode 2 into first half of clone wars looked like Brodie. Which makes lot of sense to why they don't use Temuera heads for Fordo here.

[@djnavarro3212]

Jcc2224 with the new ARC Troopers, if they have extra plastic on the pistols they won’t come out of the holders

[@viperson9818]

It's interesting to call fordo arc trooper captain, but not call the blue ones arc trooper Lt since they have blue markings which was Lt.

[@goldenpro1096]

these clones will make a fine edition to my collection

[@TheLeatheryman]

I’d be happy to mix the Order 66 guys in with new TVC guys. Some variation is nice with the clones right?

[@DarthDeuces]

Hoping I can snag a few of these at some point, Walmart Canada being trash as usually and as far as I know never putting up preorders and then only have them being sold by third party sellers on their site.

[@PrimeTime1999]

Hey JCC if you didn’t know already there’s a guy on eBay who selling 3D printed 2003 ARC Trooper clone wars guns he sells them in pairs of two you should check him out

[@NinjaaGt]

Definitely getting these

[@dancingvalkyrie]

Wasn't 7 of the Muunilist 10 team just standard regular troopers? There were only 2 lieutenants alongside Fordo.

[@Jcc2224]

You see the team twice, once on Muunilinst and once during the rescue on Hypori. While this is purely speculation, I like to think that all the surviving troopers of the Muunilinst mission got promoted to ARC trooper.

[@roguefr0sty758]

Hey J4 great vid man! Love those arc troopers i even picked up a few of each myself. Just curious, are you gonna make a vid talking about the tiger shark gunship or talking about your display of the vintage collection arc troopers?

[@thebendu8931]

I can’t wait to get these and put them in my gunship 😩

[@thebendu8931]

Btw there is and eBay seller that’s selling the correct westar m5 blaster there kinda expensive tho

[@petersima2854]

I got my fordo today too

[@TY-PO]

Should I get the blue ARC? I’m very conflicted with this figure and the dark trooper.

[@robinrigeway7827]

Nice video

[@slickmanfonzthatanti-troll]

The older Fordo from the older actually good times of Hasbro is better honestly.

[@3.75istheway7]

Haven’t seen a video by you for a wile

[@vincently1995]

Awesome

[@mushedups]

Certified fordo friday

[@maxthepilot777er4]

@jcc2224 If you had to choose between this new release of Fordo or the old release which would you choose?

[@Jcc2224]

Old one, simply because of the alternate Phase 2 armor.

[@jeebus2313]

I know it probably wasn't intentional but I like to imagine the two TVC Fordo releases having "captain" and "commander" on the cards is a reference to the fact that at several points in the show he's mistakenly referred to as a commander instead of captain. Like I said, I sincerely doubt they did that on purpose, but it's funnier to think of it that way.

[@Jcc2224]

In my head I always think he was CALLED Commander because while he didn't have the RANK of commander, he was the mission commander. But truthfully it was just an oversight because it was a cartoon for kids and they weren't worried about getting ranks right. lol

[@CC-1010-Commander-Fox]

Well the people in chat saying that rex could have used stun there was no hope for them and fox did nothing wrong(he’s also my fav clone boi

[@rinphod4442]

On today’s episode of J4 getting me jealous…

[@gannondollins]

Wait so they're out????

[@Tomer_nur]

is the razor crest review coming out soon?

[@Jcc2224]

I'm afraid it'll be a while. With my leg brace it makes even filming normal videos mildly difficult, trying to film a large vehicle like that would be too difficult for me currently. Hopefully within the coming months!

[@Tomer_nur]

@@Jcc2224 damn man, take it easy with the foot , hope it heals quickly.

[@zebwhitt8056]

Hey JC-2224 Do you thank fordo followed order 66? Or had the commander rex treatment

[@Jcc2224]

Every clone who disobeyed the order had some sort of reason in doing so. For Rex, he only realized what was happening because he was the only clone to really interact with Fives after Fives had discovered the truth. It hit him when it happened and he was able to give Ahsoka a bit of info before he had to obey. I doubt Fordo would have had such a luxury, so he likely obeyed.

[@zebwhitt8056]

@@Jcc2224 while Rex is in my opinion the best clone along side commander bly, fordo needs to return maybe in the bad batch but I dought it sadly.

[@brandondandmountford2272]

Jcc are you going to play the new Lego Star wars game looks so good

[@Jcc2224]

Maybe a few years from now. It does look fun tho!

[@XeroTenjin93]

I don't fault you for buying multiples at all mate. Army building is perfectly legitimate and understandable. It could be worse. You could be a reseller. I have no sympathy for resellers.

[@BruceWayne-yu9oc]

yellow armor????

[@TotallyNormalUK]

To be honest, the red Arc Trooper was literally called everything but his actual rank of Captain. So, I don't think Frodo was even in the show until the final battle. He's just a combination of the different red Arcs in that show.

[@chataclysm2112]

those are just discrepancies in the scripting. the red arc trooper from volume one and the start of chapter 21 on hypori was always meant to be the same guy. the commander on coruscant being the same character is from a star wars insider article.
