Glad this is one of the good ones, other than the unmasked head. Happy it's not glued, at least, just because now I can adjust the helmet myself unlike the other troopers. Love the updated articulation and fine tuned shoulder and knee pads. Bicep swivels are very important points of articulation on an action figure, and it's always bothered me that Black Series lacks them, especially when people lament when we don't get them in other lines. I get not wanting to break the sculpt, but they'd be very easy to implement in some designs, yet aren't.

[@WildDigeridoo]

I really hope we get new clone commanders in this new body soon. Also i don't understand why they didn't use either this or a more recent body with the holiday purge trooper, that surely means the new purge from the 3 pack will have that horrible old body as well :/

[@HK-47Resurrected]

Factory scheduling with the mold.

[@Lukenessmonster]

The face is a big disappointment, but I am in love with the updated articulation!

[@notamethadict]

fr and hopefully they continue with this mold as it so damn good

[@bwtrader]

Damn… it looks absolutely terrible.. Might have to remove that paint..

[@chuckmann7127]

It's still weird to think that the best clone head sculpts we got were 5 years ago with Rex and Wolfe.

[@alexissandoval1284]

Wolffe was not a great sculpt. It was way too wide and did not look like a clone versus Rex.

[@TheZooBoy111]

Strange about the face sculpt, but I’ll be displaying him with the helmet on anyway, so no big deal. Great review Luke!

[@mrcawfee.]

“I’ve been looking forward to this” man this new Clone looks amazing, except for that head 😂, great improvements all around the board with the shoulder pads, bicep swivel, loose knees, and the torso overlay! Can’t wait to get two of these and two of “Appo” 🤦‍♂️, great review as always Luke!

[@master.rancisis.figures]

So great to see them update the sculpt on this! For me, the only thing the original clone body still has this beat on is the helmet. That original helmet looks much close to the RotS look.

[@StraightOtohGunga]

This clone is a huge improvement in so many ways. I'm half hoping the Aliexpress people get their hands on this one to make those changes. 😅

[@kobeosborne8947]

Great review Luke! I'm hyped to army build this figure!

[@jordanmiller3174]

Definitely the best clone we have seen in the line! Love all the changes and it looks so good! Cannot wait to get mine

[@williamstone1536]

Glorious. Yes, the headsculpt's paint is a bit wonky, but everything else is sublime. Everything I'd want in a TBS Clone. Now...if they'd go back and redo every one they've made previously. :)

[@dustytrooper]

Loving the updated articulation. Hope the phase 1 clone can be updated to this soon. Especially since we've seen them in the Ahsoka show.

[@ezragrey9212]

That bicep swivel is my favorite change. Didn’t even know I wanted that!

[@nefariousgremlin7554]

Really bummed they didnt change the crotch plate to be more like Andor and the other recent live action depictions, that would have majorly improved the leg articulation.

[@tobywareing6435]

I just got the commander Appo and from what I can tell they have a whole new helmet. It is not the same as the 212th or Shock troopers from before its a little more squished on top so kinda looks odd next to the other clones. They must have done it for it to be removable for some reason.

[@carlosgalindo3643]

You're the best channel for stars wars figures, keep up the good work! I've also been meaning to try 3D printing, and your diorama pieces look niiice.

[@LandspeederLuke]

Hey thanks!!

[@jonathanhampshire6856]

I agree, those diorama pieces look amazing.👍

[@jesusfernandez974]

Great review, really pumped for this figure 👍.

[@thenationaltimelyactionhou9328]

Very cool. Hopefully in the future they can improve the face.

[@theperceptor9287]

Hello Luke thanks for sharing your thoughts on the new Phase 2 Clone Trooper figure. I like the improvements Hasbro has made to this sculpt. The movable knee pads make kneeling poses look more realistic and the new arm swivel opens up a lot of articulation poses as well. Thanks again Luke for taking the time to put this video together for us. Take care my friend, Tom

[@MangaMan108]

Holy... that is such a good update. Definitely want it!

[@Spectre2502]

I ordered 2 of this guy. I'm gonna paint my second one and add a holster to him. Can't wait for them to be delivered.

[@cplfelks3427]

Great addition to clones that upper arm swivel is perfect, maybe in the future they can double knees. Finally a basic clone for the rank looking forward to P1 trooper… and the other possibilities afterwards great review…

[@matotoole3791]

Great review

[@silliphilli]

Is there a height difference between this mold and the aliexpress ones? The bootlegs were slightly shorter than the pre 2020 clone body but still noticeable.

[@BoldHorse]

Ah...If only he had phase 1 helmet included.

[@sebastianurquidi6558]

Wow. This is honestly a huge step forward. Nice to see this from hasbro.

[@commandercook]

This is gonna be so great for customization. Even stuff like the bicep swivel is just gonna make stuff easier.

[@shakestheclone1995]

❤ Stoked for the new X-Wing wing on Patreon too. Now we just need three more and a fuselage 😂.

[@haysian.smelt.customs]

I’m really hoping these shoulder pads hold up over time, I just had one of my original 2020 stormtroopers shoulder pads tear off from the o ring. I thought maybe it was just cause it was a couple years old and I messed around with it all the time but I bought a rocket launcher trooper just last week and it tore right out of the box.

[@TheFunkyJawa]

Happened on one of mine too. It's a flaw for sure.

[@jonathanhampshire6856]

The same thing happened to my Bad Batch Wrecker and Axe Woves. The soft rubber just sheared away. Hardly posed them when it happened. I ended up glueing the shoulder pads to the upper arm.😐

[@russelllemieux]

Waiting on the preorder ...shessh gonna get some paint amd make some 501 st legion

[@gunnar83]

Im tempted to get a pauldron from etsy to put on this figure to make a custom captain wilco from BB season 2. I just don’t know how to paint or dry brush lol

[@kobeosborne8947]

Can you swap the hands on previous clones so you could have some left handed clones?

[@Goobo_1138]

I’m positive you could but you could also just slice the trigger finger on the older clones

[@kobeosborne8947]

@@Goobo_1138 I don't really like modding figures

[@simonmaverick7018]

Great thousand yard stare on the new clone. 😀 All we need now is every clone ever released on the new body. 😂

[@simonsaid6682]

The jaw looks darker like a beard, curious if this head is the same as 501st Appo

[@Thunderprime07Theprime07]

Wow it's so good, now I whish they make a new hope darth vader with the new update joints(i have the white vader which if I not wrong uses the esb body and I think this is exclusive only for the comic line)

[@natthannguyen6723]

This is perfect for Clone army!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@1313Podcast]

Everything they improved about this figure were complaints I had about the previous rendition. Can’t wait to get this guy! -Tommy

[@TERMICOBRA]

Luke do you think this figure will ever go on sale or do you think with all the customs and army building he'll sell out of retail before that happens? I think I might buy a handful of these guys.

[@LandspeederLuke]

Hard to say. Prob the same as the way the other mainline clones sold

[@TERMICOBRA]

@@LandspeederLuke Thanks for the review man. I didn't realize he had a bicep swivel. Shoulders/knees/finished head/chest armor overlay/dual trigger fingers are welcome upgrades. This generation Hasbro Phase II blows the knock offs out of the water!

[@jedimastergarcia87]

Surprised you never got the Arc Clone Trooper figure from walmart :P I actually found one at a local toy store and glad I got one, probably one of the more unique looking Clones I have so far next to Bad Batch red and black Clones, I forget their names

[@markrussell3414]

Excellent pickups of the new star wars figures keep collecting and may the force be with you all star wars fans the force is strong with this one landspeeder luke

[@notamethadict]

so can the legs move forward without you having to rotate the thighs or is it like the 2020 body were you have to rotate them to move them completely forward

[@wayneduckett1961]

Got eight of these on order.😊

[@stefanbcpalmer]

Please for the love of god could they update that half animated half realistic clone helmet😂

[@frikistation7982]

Can you swap the whole head? It would be interesting if you can put the phase 1 head in the phase 2 body...

[@jace9763]

I really want to know this too. I prefer the design of the phase 1 helmets and buying a few extras of these guys might be an easy way to get that perfect phase 1 trooper for now.

[@counciloftheclones4610]

What if they were to release a clone accessory pack with stuff like grenades, a back pack a blaster with grappling hook etc.

[@lukestoybox6613]

Helmet actually looks very good! A surprise to be sure.. but a welcome one.

[@MarcusJAurelius]

Would be GREAT if Hasbro let you use this figure for selfie series.

[@borgurman]

The way they wrapped the clone trooper tho

[@odbade1999]

the headsculpt paintwork looks like a decade old with no photoreal

[@pletho79]

Shame about the unmasked head. Is there a good head in TBS for unmasked Jango Fett?

[@Skywohka]

I noticed the faces look WEIRD. Look very pre-2020. Glad you brought it up.

[@ritmobello8712]

Is the head sculpt the same as commander appo? Better, worse?

Better bulk in the body and legs on this new one. Too bad it didn’t come out before the commandos

How much does it cost for retail ?

[@LandspeederLuke]

$25

[@marshallvorwaerts]

My view on this fig totally changed. I probably won’t get it anymore. The face is horrible. The lower legs and feet look off and reversed. He doesn’t seem to be in line with the rest of the CW clones that got their visors right on the black line that goes around the head. Damn. I wanted to do an army builder of this next to my 187th clones but nope. I’ll rather get Fives and Jesse now. Thanks for the review!

His face looks like Captain Rex. 🤨

[@randyf25]

Looks like the latest and greatest for P2 Clones, just surpassed the old Bandai model kit for the helmet at least. Hoping for a 2.1 P1 clone some day. That old helmet is still ugly, Bandai model kit still superior for P1s.

[@amirshahiran3745]

So this articulation Clone Trooper is a same phase 1.

[@fardicus0004]

Anyone notice that the phase II clone is holding an E-11 stormtrooper blaster on the box art? Sheesh Hasbro, don't make your lack of source knowledge so obvious. 😂 Otherwise, love the figure. Can't wait for mine to come in the mail. Thanks for the awesome review!

[@Vortex_7114]

this clone action figure is LITERALLY PERFECT, FINALYYYYYY

[@HertsTV]

A great improvement to be sure, just wish they would have redone that trash helmet sculpt 😢

[@HK-47Resurrected]

Absolute Trash sculpt. I don't understand why TBS collectors have celebrated it since 2020. They brought it to TVC and TVC collectors immediately complained.

[@NuteGunray]

@@HK-47Resurrectedwhat Tvc sculpt?

[@Rebel_Scum1138]

The profile picture changed

[@jonathanhampshire6856]

I've been wanting them to give the Clones (& Stormies) removable helmets with painted heads since they brought out the new moulds a few years back. The face print looks weird, but better than nothing. He looks very starey. I might shavey beard like that.😂 Bicep swivel is welcome. The 0-Ring shoulder pads have sheared off on a couple of my figs. Maybe use tougher plastic. The knee pads look good. Sticking them to the upper leg was a weird idea. Now give us some alternative hands Hasbro. Fists, gesturing, relaxed, maybe one with a thermal detonator, ready to lob at some clankers.

[@devinsenrick]

Phase 2 clone looks better than the clone cammandos.

[@shincedon655]

Figure looks awesome so long as you keep the helmet on, that face is just bleh.

[@sithspartan6248]

Face doesn’t bother me too much to be honest, but it should’ve been a little better. Either way he’s keeping his bucket one lol

[@Nixlplix]

Another disappointing figure to me. His left elbow will not bend, and his face has a black smudge on his jaw. Otherwise it's pretty good.

[@alexmartin3143]
