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

[@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!

[@shellpose]

I love the black backdrop. The richness of the black made all the details on the white armor pop! Great review-

[@JustinsCollection]

Thank you! It’s very hard to get perfect but I’m happy with how it looked this time

[@adoor3712]

I’ve had this figure preordered since they revealed it back in August of 2020… haven’t gotten it yet, but I’m so excited.

[@JustinsCollection]

Damn!

[@beegs4515]

I also haven't gotten mine. Got an email a couple months ago about delays and another again saying it wouldn't be here till late this year

[@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

I’ve loved Rex since I first saw him in Clone Wars. I love your videos so keep it up!

[@JustinsCollection]

Nice!

[@lewis17297]

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!

[@JustinsCollection]

Oh ok!

[@NoahR_]

I really hope that the cross-compatible macrobinoculars means they have Commander Bly on the cards. I love my old SIdeshow one, but I wouldn't mind an update!

[@JustinsCollection]

That would be dope!

[@connoreagle6843]

I hope so!

[@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!

[@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!

[@Mazeplyz]

I have watched the clone wars show 3 times I love it

[@JustinsCollection]

Awesome!

[@tinman3605]

Hi Justin, I have a question to ask you. I am trying to decide between buying either Hot toys captain rex, or Arc trooper Jesse. Which would you say is better?

Rex is my favourite personally

I’ve got the Sideshow Commander Wolffe figure and he looks awesome of course, but I always felt like parts of him felt a little weak and even had the antenna break. Is this figure higher quality and would he be the same scale next to my Wolffe?

[@luis.esquivia]

Thank you for these detailed and timely video reviews Justin! Much appreciated!

[@JustinsCollection]

My pleasure!

[@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!

[@j-rad]

Just bought Clone Wars Ahsoka and this one too! So excited to get them next to each other!

Lol no. Hot Toys is the company that makes the figures, sideshow is just one website that sells them

[@sirtonylancelot6782]

very nice! I posed mine with ahsoka, Cody and some 501st clones :D

[@JustinsCollection]

Noice!

[@sailorstudios1046]

the blaster smg has a stock that flips back, and kinda resembles the skorpion (gun) wire stock

[@JustinsCollection]

Yep

[@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!

[@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!

[@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!

[@BrixoStudios]

Wow, Rex is even better than I expected. I am curious though, how come you have yours now, I ordered mine from sideshow and due to a production issue it's been pushed back

[@JustinsCollection]

He is!

[@kainepeterson6638]

Rex with the macrobinoculars just immediately jumped out at me. THATS Umbara Rex, taken directly out of my imagination from what was represented on screen.

[@JustinsCollection]

Nice!

[@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]

[@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!

[@STALKR1]

I love the figure, hell mine arrives in a few days. But I do not prefer the green tint to his armor its just kinda throws off the look when i've got 3 badass 501st troopers in white and blue and then rex ol' boy over here with green and blue.
