The clones needs to keep coming. Phase 1 clone troopers, arc troopers, and the commanders are the reason why I started collecting Star Wars.

[@ka-bashedfigures834]

Yes! Clones are the reason the really accelerated my interest in Star Wars Black Series.

[@seanhuang532]

dude, the clone face customization is AWESOME. Hasbro!!! we should be able to do that to every clone from now on... nice job

[@keithjohnson5282]

Been waiting for months for mine to ship. Hope it ships soon, looks amazing.

[@MarkyD1967]

What a killer looking paint scheme this one has. Got a couple on preorder from GameStop, but it’s currently stuck in no man’s land and it’s anyone guess as to when it’s going to ship in the U.S. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this figure and for the review.

[@Rabid_Badger_racing]

I want more clone troopers.

[@restock_1731]

I totally agree that they should give us removable helmets with different head sculpts. I've taken the helmet off my Imperial Shock Trooper and 332nd, I'll try to paint the heads some day. I'll probably butcher it. Lol. This clone does look wicked sharp, I can't wait to get mine, eventually. Great review. 👍

[@ka-bashedfigures834]

Oh yeah I tried to paint that head when I got my Kamino Trooper- I did the best I could without having an airbrush 😂. I then made the mistake of trying to put the helmet back on. The paint got all scraped off the nose and forehead!!! That was why I requested Hasbro to cast them in flesh tone- at least that can mitigate the paint rub. That, or just paint the heads in w their magic paint that seems very resilient.

[@restock_1731]

@@ka-bashedfigures834 damn, I should have figured the paint was gonna run off the head and nose. Oh well, at least I can put the helmet back on. Lol

Great video highlighting the best parts of the figure! Can't believe I actually hesitated getting the Umbra Operative, no regrets now that I have it in hand. Only gripe I have is that being an exclusive, it skews towards a steeper price point in the Asian market, so I'm hoping for less exclusive clones and more in mainline.

[@TammyBoy]

I don't mind more Clones. Hasbro really needs to make the Super Battle Droids, Commandos, and Droideka

[@ka-bashedfigures834]

I know right? Cal Kestis has lots of enemy variants to fight: night brother, night brother archer, flame trooper, scout baton trooper, purge trooper, purge baton trooper, stormtrooper, and even 13th battalion clones. Clones have-- droid and heavy droid.

[@paddyskywalkershow34]

Amazing

[@hyperdrivecollections6460]

GameStop cancelled my preorder, I paid for it and the refunded me but what the heck? It looks awesome

[@Mrdoggy5150]

I wish they would make more clones.

[@ka-bashedfigures834]

Feelings are mutual!!!

[@lowerylow6934]

I agree must be a generational thing as i kid i always wanted clones but asian parents woudnt budge so now when im older in my mid 20s all that pent up urge is finaly has an outlet

[@ka-bashedfigures834]

Haha same here! My Asian parents tried not to “spoil me” but it made me a junkie later on in life!

[@goldenpro1096]

Nice looks really good

[@ka-bashedfigures834]

It is an absolutely fantastic figure! ❤️❤️❤️

[@goldenpro1096]

@@ka-bashedfigures834 were can I buy it

[@ka-bashedfigures834]

@@goldenpro1096 I store that I go to (Freeway toys) still has it, and you can order on their online store. BUT, it is more expensive (because of the “import” tax we have) and shipping. If you live in the US, I believe it is already hitting GameStop stores there, or at least soon. Hope you get yours!

[@goldenpro1096]

@@ka-bashedfigures834 thank you for the info I hope to get it when I have the money :)

[@rajaratiug]

Hey, so unless I'm mistaken, there's a heck for the heads/neck articulation. You have to get in with a needles nose and rotate the neck 180. Put the back of the neck in the front. This works on the ROTJ boba, giving him the ability to look up if in a "in flight" pose. Although because this guy is an arc trooper, the pauldron severely limits head and neck articulation as it is. But yeah rotating the neck peg, might be worth checking out

[@ka-bashedfigures834]

Thanks for pointing that out. Yes most likely because of the pauldron. I’m happy with it though. I tried the articulation on the jet trooper and there is a lot more movement. So just to ask you- you mean if we rotate the neck backwards, we can actually get a much larger range, like the “rocketeer” flight pose? I’ll try that when I’m home!

[@rajaratiug]

@@ka-bashedfigures834 yeah, i would try it. grab the neck with a needle nose, or something, and rotate it 180 degrees. The back of the neck will be the front and it should allow the trooper to look up a bit more. It works with ROTJ Boba, and I've tried it with the 332nd and the 501st jet trooper. It's not super drastic, but def an improvement. Have not tried it with the Arc troopers though, the pauldron looks like it would be a problem.

[@rajaratiug]

@@ka-bashedfigures834 with the clones, it's not a total game changer, it helps a bit. But try the neck rotation on ROTJ Boba, and you def get the "rocketeer" vibes. The fwoosh pointed out the neck rotation hack on his ROTJ Boba review

[@darthclueless9372]

Therein lies the problem for black series…..the collector base is split. Many want more aliens, some want more OT, others want more Jedi, even more want more clones. They will never make any of us truly happy
