Cody is literally my favorite clone besides Fordo and Rex.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Nice deep cut 2D Clone Wars reference! I love them all in different ways. -Justin

[@ReptilianRichardRamirez]

Wolfee is clearly the best clone, Cody is cool though

[@krunchy8025]

I never got myself a Commander Cody, and im not gonna hunt one down now. Im just waiting for them to release one in the Archive wave or something.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

You gotta imagine he’s gonna get a rerelease soon! Thanks for watching! -Nate

[@oscarbelmare_22]

You can pre order the release in the archive collection

[@atomixage]

Cody is still available on Big Bad Toy Store for 22 bucks.

[@adamkitbashes8067]

I want him so bad! I don’t even care about reselling him but like everyone who has him wants an arm and a leg for him :(

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Yeah it’s nuts! Hopefully he gets an archive release at some point. -Justin

[@adamkitbashes8067]

Out of the Basement fingers crossed! Hopefully in early to mid 2021!!

[@SeguraSketches]

@Apex tell me who im trying to buy

[@nathandavern7030]

I sold mine for 24 dollars:)

[@SeguraSketches]

Nathan Davern wtf

Great Review. I started Collecting in Feb of 2016 and found Cody at a Walgreen's toward the End of 2016 and actually passed on Him. After watching a few KZbin videos of Him, I decided I wanted Him. I went back to that Walgreen's about a Month later, which was in another City, and Luckuly He was Right where I left Him. Fast forward to 2018 and I was at a Toy Show at the Flea Market and Digging through a Box of Figures in Baggies and found another Cody. He was missing the Smaller Blaster, but when the guy told Me $5.00 for Him, I couldn't get the money out of My Pocket fast enough. He's Definitely My Favorite Clone, and a Great Figure.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Thank you! That’s awesome! Only $5! That must have been the worst flea market person ever lol. -Nate

[@bobavader1862]

Superb figure and review Nate. This is another figure i missed out on, he looks fantastic and have seen the prices go through the roof so hoping that Hasbro re release him. I have the Hot Toys 1/6th figure on preorder but still need to get myself a Black Series version. Stay safe Nate, all the best from the UK😎👍🏻😎

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Thank you Boba! You might as well get the hot toy, it’s probably not even that much more than what this figure is worth! Which if fucking crazy that people would pay so much for this Cody. I think we will all have a chance to get him again soon. Stay Safe homie!

[@1meansob88]

I saw this figure a few times when it was initially released. It was the early days day of the black series and people did not know if the line was going to take off. Of course it did and now everyone wants to old figures. They will release it. Be patience but if you see figures you like pick them up even if you have to eat salad for a few days it is worth it. Commander Colt is my favorite clone and if they made him in the 6" version the sw community would go crazy.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

That is very true! Even modern Red and Black boxed figures are going for crazy prices like Ezra and Qui Gon. Glad I got them ASAP! Colt would be amazing! Thanks for watching -Nate

[@lindaboreham3633]

Ours was 'loosey goosey' brand new out the box. It's a very common thing with Cody. Thanks

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Thats a bummer for sure! Same knee?

[@lindaboreham3633]

@@OutOfTheBasement Yep!.,really loose left ankle too.,have to pose him with his left leg slightly turned outwards. Hot water did little to F.A

[@genericyoutubechannel3790]

I'm just saying this because there's alot of confusion in the community about this, because in about every Bly review, the reviewer refers to the mold as an updated or improved version. The reason why the newer clones (with the exception of Bly) don't have the better elbows and shoulders is because Rex's mold is a COMPLETELY different mold. Everyone believes that Rex's mold is simply a remold or retool, but there's actually alot about the mold that tell's you that it's 100% a different mold. You can tell because the hips actually have less range on Rex's mold because the armor is taller. Also, shoulder armor tucks underneath the chest armor when lifted to the side, unlike the older clone mold. The upper arms are longer when compared to Rex's, as well. I believe Hasbro specifically made the Rex mold for characters who have pauldrons, since the only two characters who use the mold have pauldrons. I'm not sure if there's a specific reason why they don't use it for characters without pauldrons though.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Wow! Never knew that, but that’s pretty awesome. Still though even though it’s completely different they should use it for all clones or atleast the arms. Also looks like Hasbro forgot about the Rex mold when making the Purge Trooper. Bummer. But maybe one day Hasbro will realize the old clone body just doesn’t cut it anymore. Thanks for the info! -Nate

[@열가지-r2l]

I love this figure. Always a pleasure to welcome.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

It's great! Thanks for checking out our video! -Justin

[@farrelariefatx554]

Nice review! I have this figure and i love it!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Thank you! -Nate

[@jace1449]

I saw one at my local comic con last year for like 20 bucks, didn’t end up getting it, but little did I know he’d be upwards of $150 now

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Damn, that’s gotta be heartbreaking. Let’s hope for that re-release! -Nate

[@jace1449]

Out of the Basement yeah man for sure, great review, you got a new sub!

[@jackson8874]

I really want him and Ezra and some others like the purge trooper but they are being sold for 40-100$ and it’s ridiculous and that’s why I want them to be out back into the main stores for their original price

[@OutOfTheBasement]

I’m down for some re-releases! Those prices are ridiculous. GameStop, for the first time ever, made a listing on their website for the Purge Trooper. Hopefully that means it will be stocked on the website soon. -Justin

[@jackson8874]

Out of the Basement EXActlyyy I’m tired of spending hours looking for a decent price

[@atomixage]

Are you going to do another video on the rerelease Archives Cody? They actually did change the paint in a pretty nice way.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

I actually do not think we picked up Commander Cody. It's the same exact figure. -Justin

[@atomixage]

@@OutOfTheBasement It is the same mold, but with changes to paint color, and looking at mine I don't see the different softer plastic you were talking about on the arms and legs.

[@axel.1358]

Been wanting him for a long time, never paid those prices. Glad I waited cause I just got the archive one in the mail from pulse 😁

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Nice! Cody is a great looking figure. 👍🏻 -Justin

[@axel.1358]

@@OutOfTheBasement I just noticed mine has like a misprint it whatever you'd call it, mine doesn't have the gray stripe on his right arm 🙃 I noticed everyone else has the gray one both arms. Oh well, I'm not gonna bother trying to hunt down another, I'm just glad I got one at all 😭

[@bundleization]

Happy archive went up

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Heck yeah! It’s great collectors can get him again for retail price!

[@migsmully856]

Where did you buy the stand?

[@thenewfishingmemes7940]

Nice action figure

[@chrisf10440]

Will he be the same exact figure if archived? Never got my hands on him. He's just so expensive😂

[@OutOfTheBasement]

100% the exact same. He’ll just be in a different package. Thanks for watching Steven! -Nate

[@chrisf10440]

Ok cool! Thanks for the reply!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

You’re welcome!

[@chrisf10440]

Are there any expected dates for when cody comes out? Just got commander bly at gamestop.

[@LeechUFC]

Cody will probably get rereleased at some point but I don’t like the idea of relreleasing the high value black series figures from the past. I feel a big part of the appeal is the value that some figures hold onto due to the scarcity of the character in action figure form D:

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Commander Cody is getting re-released because he won the fan vote. Regardless, the value of an action figure doesn't necessarily matter to us. I want every collector to have a chance to get a figure that they want. Thanks for watching our review! -Justin

[@michaelvaldez5993]

I have Rex, Gree, Fox, Wolfe... but not Cody, unfortunately. And I refuse to pay that insane amount of money for him either. $50, maybe.. we can only hope that Hasbro re-releases him, but this time with an actual head as well. You got super lucky that you found Cody.. and thanks for the review! Really makes me wanna get one lol smh

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Hopefully we will get that sweet sweet rerelease soon! An alt head and a lil hologram of Palpatine would be awesome. Thanks for watching! -Nate

[@jesusesquivelgarcia]

I’m jelly not even I have that figure. It cost too much . Glad you got it thooooo!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Hopefully one day you’ll have it too! Thanks for watching homie! -Nate

[@arni7810]

I wonder if the archive release has the Same soft rubber issue. I hate that as welll.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

I don't think there is any rubber on it, but I could be wrong. -Justin

[@bigbunduru5136]

Sure Cody is popular, but Rex is BY FAR the more liked clone...not even close

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Yeah I suppose that’s true but a lot of people still to this day discount Clone Wars and Rebels as “just for kids” and skip over watching them. -Nate

[@atomixage]

Lol, keep telling yourself that. Rex is pretty great but Cody is best.

[@Dakotaisawesome69]

He is the only clone I don't have. And I have not found him online less than $120. That's ridiculous. Not paying that

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Agreed, it’s wayyyy to much for any BS figure. Hopefully Hasbro realizes Clone Wars has a 7th Season right now and he needs to be re released!

[@efeonem5671]

They gotta make a archive cody instead of unlike characters

[@OutOfTheBasement]

I'd be down for an Archive Commander Cody release for sure! -Justin

[@jesse8381]

The time has come.....

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Yes, my lord

[@xsquidd]

I don't know if its just mine but does anyone else find the head so far up the neck thats it looks giraffe like?

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Try heating the neck up with hot water or a hair dryer for 30 seconds and see if you can press the head down on the joint further. -Nate

[@xsquidd]

Cheers! I may just do that

[@katabellioniguess]

This might be off-topic of Cody, but my Kylo from TFA came with two left feet

[@OutOfTheBasement]

My recent RoS Kylo came without fingers on his hand. Classic hasbro

[@MK7-MephistoKevin777]

@@OutOfTheBasement LOL Sorry to laugh but that's insane, I've been lucky with most of my action figures, The worst flaw I ever got was the Patrol-Trooper 6 inch (from Solo) The left elbow simply will not bend at all !!! I did try the hair drier method, But accomplished nothing, I think the joints are screwed up Possibly melted together inside ? I dont know but that's only one figure out of hundreds of figures, Thanks for the video, I never knew Cody had soo much details on the back, the thermal detonator and other spots, Unfortunate about the soft plastic But worst of all I cant find one on eBay for under 147 US (=200 Canadian) I hope they do an archive release, Thank for the cool video

[@adamkitbashes8067]

On a side note anyone on here have an extra Cody?

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Someone get this man a Cody!

[@adamkitbashes8067]

Out of the Basement thanks 😁

[@nyipnyop]

I regret not buying the discount price of $10 in my local toy store back in 2017. Now its $70 at minimum :(

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Wow, that really sucks! But I understand, I almost hesitated when I paid $35 for it!

[@nyipnyop]

@@OutOfTheBasement Indeed. I hope they release the archive edition with improved articulations like Rex's one

[@co5seriousgaming452]

Man I just wish he had a removable helmet

[@jamesschulziii9098]

I picked this guy up around this time last year I wanna say I paid...$58? Mine was loose out of the package too. I am baffled by the gummy knees and yes,Hasbro does need to rerelease this dude.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Not a bad price for the time! But yeah it sucks the figure is aging so poorly and is one of the more expensive figures. Kinda makes it hurt just a little worse. Thanks for watching James! -Nate

[@samlopez5152]

When this figure retires, I hope Black Series does another Clone Wars Cody. The figure would have the updated Clone Trooper body with a Phase 1 and Phase 2 helmet, an accurate and detailed Temuera Morrison head mold, detailed scar, modifications to not make the head so “glossy”, and a stand that the black bottom says in silver, “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” and underneath it, it says his name, “Clone Commander Cody”, and his number “CC-2224”. Does anybody agree? Please reply below, unless it’s negative.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Appreciate you checking out the reviews, Sam! -Justin

[@katabellioniguess]

*I GUESS YOU CAN CALL THE SLOPPY PAINT WORK MISFIRE*

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Thank you for the approval lol -Nate

[@Jaylord1668]

Who’s watching this after getting the new archive Cody?🙋🏾‍♂️

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Thanks for watching! -Nate

[@toyinfiniti5458]

Crazy how cheap they are now

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Right? But it’s a good thing honestly. I’m glad collectors are able to get him so easily. Thanks for watching! -Nate

[@thenerdymechanic]

I got to say, I'm thankful for your review, especially for being so recent. I just bought one that was at an amazing price, I opened him to display him with my other Clones and I almost thought I got scammed with a bootleg shoved in a real box because he just seemed so much less in quality compared to newer clones...but mine matches your issues pretty much the same, especially with the different plastics.
