Hot Toys Captain Rex The Clone Wars Unboxing & Review

[@SovietHighCommand]

I like how the “mouth piece” is smaller so thats actually accurate to captain rex’s helmet it is very impresive most impresive

[@JustinsCollection]

Yes!

I love Rex he is my favourite character

[@marcellvajda4268]

The jet-pack he comes with is a Death Watch one…he borrowed one for the Siege of Mandalore. Great Review!

[@JustinsCollection]

Oh nice!

[@MrLeary73]

I went back and looked at season 7 when Anakin goes and commits a war crime when they are under the bridge and it clearly this one. Comparing to the other troopers who also have jet packs it’s much dark and has that same color scheme. It just may have been more noticeable in the light on mandalore but this is for sure the same jet pack before mandalore.

[@bobdylan5705]

CT-7567 looks glorious! The live-action interpretation of his sculpt is nothing less than perfect IMO. Loads of accessories that can be shared with other 501st troopers were a great touch. Give us Ahsoka and those two will be front and center of my SW display

[@JustinsCollection]

Damn right he does! I heard Ahsoka may be coming out very soon!

4:42 it's a swing back stock. In the clone wars there are a few scenes where you see the clones using it as a stock.

[@JustinsCollection]

Nice!

[@JasonSmith-ee7zq]

Just like the Sterling submachine gun the Stormtrooper's (and later clone's) blasters were based on!

[@JedhaPatrol]

I’d definitely recommend more clones 😎😬

[@SavageKermie]

I’m hoping for more Clone Commanders.

[@JustinsCollection]

Haha YOU would 😉

[@aidangroessl375]

Technically Rex is an ARC trooper though, so his armor being similar in some ways makes sense. This is why he's allowed to customize it so dramatically compared to some other clones.

[@JustinsCollection]

Oh cool!

[@jackmiller3354]

You are correct

[@_SWFB]

he aint an arc trooper

[@mortalwound2945]

I think I personally would have preferred the animated Rex head, however the amount of detail they put into this love action alternative is stunning.

[@JustinsCollection]

Oh ok

[@BigBadMadDog.]

OH.MY.GOD!!! He came out incredible!! I really hope Sideshow starts shipping ASAP

[@JustinsCollection]

He did!

[@werecam56]

I believe the reason his armor looks greenish is because it's more aged and weathered than even someone like Cody's who's seen quite a bit of battle himself. Rex's armor is even older than Cody's he kept his armor from phase 1 and welded the pieces of the phase 2 armor he liked to it.

[@JustinsCollection]

Oh ok!

[@LL.1823]

Awesome review as always! Just a note - The way the pauldron is painted is exactly the same as the prototype, so exchanging it wouldn't help - A bit of black paint should though!

[@rrrmmmm5059]

Hi Justin! Well, this is the figure we’ve all been waiting fir. This is such a perfect figure! It has all the specific things we’ve come to expect in this figure but for me the body type and head sculpt are the exact replica of Morrison. So overall I have to say Temura from the very beginning was the perfect person for the original clone. His overall image has become so important to Star Wars and the fact that he’s essentially represented in so many places, it’s nice to see how perfect this head sculpt and body are. Thanks for comparing the different versions and thanks for the video 💎😊

[@JustinsCollection]

He is one of the most iconic faces in all of Star Wars I think!

[@gleadr6869]

Looks great, can't wait for mine to actually show up sometime this century.... I'll be displaying mine with Ahsoka once she arrives.

[@JustinsCollection]

Fingers crossed!

[@macgyverbrown6803]

I hope hot toys gives us a clone accessory pack with extra pistols and a lot of head attachments. An entire display with macrobinoculars on would be amazing looking since im pretty sure all the clones had some on umbara

[@JustinsCollection]

That would be dope!

[@Adrian99Diaz]

Nice!

[@mattk8708]

Man we need a cad bane figure 🤤

[@JustinsCollection]

We do!

[@berenstudios557]

I think both versions of Rex have their place. Hot Toys hands down made an awesome live action Rex. The Sideshow one I think is a good alternative if you want a more animated style Rex. But if your looking for just one Rex to go with, Hot Toys nailed it. As a gentle reminder for those who critique HT Rex, remember that a live action Rex doesn’t exist. All things considering, they did a great job.

[@JustinsCollection]

Agreed!

[@CardboardSliver]

I wonder if the Ahsoka show will finally give us a Morrison Rex. He's said he wants to play the iconic Clone.

[@d4nnylaflame896]

@@CardboardSliver if temura appears as rex in the Ashoka show he will probably be bed ridden and old as hell. Like Bill Gates type old.

Spectacular Justin as always my collection is bigger Thanks to your reviews! Hi from Argentina

[@JustinsCollection]

Thanks for watching!

[@Maddensimsforthebirds2418]

Am I the only one that only remembers Rex having a jet pack in like 2 episodes

[@JustinsCollection]

Probs not!

[@The_Drib]

There are some parts that don’t make much sense like the blue on the pauldron, the weird green weathering, and the animated/realistic rangefinder. I’m fine with it being animated but if you are going to do an animated figure at least make it accurate to the animation. Other that that he’s quite a nice figure.

[@JustinsCollection]

Fair enough!

[@wctoyreviewsandgaming577]

I know I’m late to the party. But the stock for the DC-15s blaster carbine is meant to go all the way back. It is indeed a stock. In the movies they never show any clones folding the stock, but in Clone Wars you see it a few times. Clone Commander Trauma is probably the most well known. The one commander who gets killed by Savage Oppress before he kills Jedi master Halsey and his padawan Knox.

[@JustinsCollection]

Thanks for the info!

[@thedrifter5531]

i mean the anakin figure is taller, you can't really count the top of rex's helmet as its a helmet, so going off the visor and shoulders anakin is taller

[@JustinsCollection]

Fair enough

[@sagevoyage]

I've been so excited for this to come out just for your review lmao. I don't even plan on buying one

[@JustinsCollection]

Thanks Bree!

[@kodyguerra8768]

I think that Rex is a little more than slightly taller than Cody. If you put them side by side standing straight up, it’s pretty evident. Not only is the helmet a factor, but also possibly the figure used for Rex and the other clones hot toys has made besides Cody. The torso seems longer, and the armor for the chest sits higher as well as opposed to Cody’s. Nonetheless super excited with both figures.

[@JustinsCollection]

Oh ok!

I plan to customize my Rex changing the helmet and pauldron, maybe even the kama. I’m surprised they didn’t color the soles of the feet like the 501st trooper and I Rex just has a different color jet pack in season 7 even before he gets to Mandalor

[@JustinsCollection]

Oh awesome!

[@proelium6197]

Just a cool fact, the reason why the marks on the right hand are more wonky, is because clones are right handed, and he had to write those marks with his left hand

It would be awesome if Hot Toys continues with the Clone Wars line! I would love to see Commander Bly Figure!

[@darthrizzen9349]

Thanks for this review, especially the comparison that helped me decide! I do have the Sideshow version (which is displayed with Anakin, Obi-Wan and another 501st trooper) and was waiting to see how it fared next to HT. Honestly I'm not feeling the urge to replace Rex. I agree about the floppy body. And the HT head sculpt is a definite improvement. The visual impact is very much the same, however, and I prefer the pleather kama.

[@JustinsCollection]

No probs! Glad you enjoyed!

It's a superb portrait alongside a good but not great figure, imo. Three fairly big issues for me: the lack of weathering of the tunic (it's far too clean compared to the armour), lack of weld lines on the cheek of his helmet and the significant colour difference between the white of Rex's armour when compared to the 501st figures (doesn't look right when they're posed next to each other, and I don't think it's screen accurate).
