Guys one thing I noticed when putting this figure away. The mustard yellow used for the color scheme is identical to Commander Bly’s mustard yellow. Therefore, you can place these two figures near each other and it will look good, albeit they are not from the same unit.

[@rogeliosanchez8883]

Interesting 🤔 thanks for the advice excellent review by the way.

[@KollektorKahn]

How did you get that so early?

[@ka-bashedfigures834]

@@KollektorKahn I live in Hong Kong, right next to the manufacturing base in Southern China. With the pandemic Shipping situation we get the goods earlier. But I’m sure it will reach stateside pretty soon. Good luck 👍

@@ka-bashedfigures834 oh lol well I love your content keep it up my friend

[@gabesstarwarscollection]

I appreciate that the back of this helmet is painted. The 212th trooper just has way too little paint on the back of it and it looks odd without at least the black line

[@ka-bashedfigures834]

Yeah the lack of paint on that figure reminds me of a person in the morning without makeup 😂

[@RustbeltCollector]

I am so excited for this figure to be released, it's certainly probably the most excited I have gotten for a Black Series clone! I have SEVERAL on order from GameStop but I really don't want to wait till 2023 haha Great review and thank you for showing us this figure so early!

[@TheBenjaman]

Love jedi fallen order, love this clone legion! 1. Its yellow my favorite colour 2. The legion markings are fantastic and super unique. Wish we got this in the vintage collection at some point. Am most likely going to get the black series one just because i really love this clone. Will also go really well with bly

[@Dillrnbng]

Really excited for this one. I love Jedi Fallen Order and will never say no to clone trooper repaints. I do share your sentiments regarding the uneven black lines too and I think that issue also shows up on the Battlefront II Jet Trooper as well.

[@ka-bashedfigures834]

Wow I did not notice about the jet trooper until you point it out. 😀

[@TammyBoy]

The paint job on the helmet is a slight improvement. The things I would change are the shoulder Pads and maybe the helmet mold.

[@ka-bashedfigures834]

Yup! Shoulder pads are my gripe still. I’m getting to be ok w then, but for my shock troopers I added shoulder pads from John Walker. As for helmet, I’m cool w these. But comparing these helmets with the resin kits and Bandai model kits, they can still improve (the actual live action look has it tapered more towards the top). So yeah I definitely agree w you on that. Thanks for tuning in!!!

[@restock_1731]

Clone repaints, I'll take as many as they give us. I can't wait to get my hands on this one. Plus this one has the black line, saves me from having to add one. Lol. I'm also looking forward to the 187th, yes, more clones. 😁. Great review Alex. 👍

[@ka-bashedfigures834]

Yeah I’m thinking the exact same thing about the black line! Now for the shoulders… 😀

[@restock_1731]

@@ka-bashedfigures834 I don't mind these shoulders, it's probably their new tight and fit look. 🤣

[@skyrider4789]

HASBRO painted the BLACK LINE!!! :) I dig this paint scheme. Looking forward to get a handful.

[@zebwhitt8056]

We need more clones like the clone paratroopers, 327th star corps and galactic marines

[@ka-bashedfigures834]

Oh yes I agree!

[@GenX_Brian]

Nice review 👍🏻 the closeups and comparison to the other clones were excellent

[@ka-bashedfigures834]

Thank you! 🙏 A picture is worth a thousand words. Although I admittedly sped through this review.

[@GenX_Brian]

@@ka-bashedfigures834 I prefer the “to the point” reviews👍🏻

[@RR_1138]

Great review buddy, the elbow guards and knee pads bug me and unglued them. Do you collect GIJoe, Star Wars are hard to troop build in the US due to them being Walmart or Walgreens exclusives.

[@ka-bashedfigures834]

Unfortunately i don’t collect Joes due to space issues 😀. It would’ve been nice to be excited about other IPs. Yeah, as much as I give credit to Hasbro acknowledging troop building as a thing, I am frustrated their actions are not immediately friendly to collect multiples. The Modal Nodes Cantina band is a perfect example. So far Figrin Dan is only one per case. Unless people buy Nalan Cheel, which is more expensive (which I did).

[@nicholasdickens2801]

I feel the gap between the black trim and the ‘T’ visor is almost none existent.

[@edgararanda1857]

I wish the clone trooper shoulder pads were attached like how the stormtrooper mold is configured. Would make it easier to customize and it would move out of the way for articulation. I’ve lost count how many times I’ve had the clone shoulder pads eventually pop off when I articulate them for pictures

[@ka-bashedfigures834]

Yeah agree. My biggest gripe about the new mold is still w the shoulders. Don’t know why they don’t adopt the stormtrooper solution, considering they came out the same time. Must’ve been different teams working on them. OR, just go with the Rex/Bly shoulders. Those were almost perfect!

[@meoldmateaustie9822]

First!

[@eg8031]

This isn’t due out until march next year apparently…

[@ka-bashedfigures834]

Yeah Hasbro tends to buy themselves some slack for lead times. I’m sure it will show up in stores soon.

[@zachduperron8543]

Is this available now at GameStop or did you get this one early?

[@alexissandoval1284]

He's in Hong Kong, they get these much earlier than everywhere else.

[@zachduperron8543]

@@alexissandoval1284 makes sense due to where they’re made. Glad that logic does apply, when will the be available in murica?

[@ka-bashedfigures834]

I live in Hong Kong where there are no GameStop. Got it from a regular mom and pop toy store. Over here we tend to get things early since we shave off some time from shipping long distance and also from big box store processing. Hope you get yours soon!

[@xelonostudios]

I hate the new molds, but I think I'll have to adapt 😥

[@ka-bashedfigures834]

Haha. I have grown to appreciate them. But yeah I still have to stick aftermarket shoulders for me to really like them.

[@zachduperron8543]

Yeah same but until I finally got one, the 212th. I can appreciate the amount of poses you can get it in. I still do hate the helmet, massive downgrade and the unpainted head glued to the helm underneath makes zero sense imo.
