Star Wars Black Series Captain Rex Hasbro HasCon Exclusive

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

There's a lot of good in the Clone Wars animated series. There's also a lot of filler. But if you can power through the filler you will absolutely be rewarded with a lot of really great Star Wars characters and adventure.

[@ToyBro]

The non-filler episodes are in general quite good. For every good story arc we get a filler arc that is just awful unfortunately. The arc with nothing but droids and that little bug guy still make me shudder.

[@VolkswagenGamer]

I like that one. Gregor is a badass.

[@omanlew16]

Toy Galaxy I think rebels made fans enjoy a lot of prequel movie characters that were meh before Rebels. maul, dooku, Palpatine, anakin etc.

[@yokaicustoms]

What I appreciate most about the Clone Wars is 1) they manage to rehabilitate Anakin from the prequels. He's no longer an obnoxious, immature brat. He's a strong but flawed leader and 2) Ahsoka. She's wonderful and by the end of the show she probably ends up being the strongest character. Show starts off a little weak but really gets its legs later on.

[@l1m0b0at3]

Toy Galaxy anyone ever watch naruto haha wanna talk about filler

[@DevonPalmer98]

Rebels to me is like 7/10 while clone wars is a 10/10, makes the prequels way better

[@ToyBro]

The tally marks on the box and the figure are his brothers lost in action, just FYI, not his kills.

[@PonchoChief135]

Toy Bro I was always told the marks represent all the battles the 501st have won

[@yokaicustoms]

Source?

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, I'm hearing a lot of conflicting sources. Battles, fallen comrades. It's surely not Battle Droid kills, that would be a hell of a lot of tallies.

[@ARC117Studios]

That is not true. It is most certainly a kill count. Count how many there are. It's not a kill count of his overall tally from his career, he started doing it when he received his new armor.

[@zknightman74]

maybe its per thousand kills

[@CrazyPlatinum92]

Bring the republic commandos

[@graefx]

That would be an amazing 4 pack.

[@NoahR_]

graefx I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

[@CrazyPlatinum92]

graefx I hope it's not exclusive

[@spikespiegel2830]

Robo: You haven't seen Clone Wars?!? Dude. If you can find enjoyment in Rebels, you will effing LOVE Clone Wars. It starts off kind of uneven, but not nearly as uneven as Rebels. And the character development, storylines, animation, you name it; it's all top-notch. That show actually makes the Prequel era pretty kick-ass. You need to check it out before it gets yanked from Netflix, dude.

[@wraith1701]

Robo-Killah: Watch Clone Wars, man. Seriously. The series is great on its own, AND it adds some much needed context & character development to the prequels. For real. Check it out, man.

[@TheFwoosh]

Looks like I'm watching Clone Wars, haha. Now I need to track them down.

[@smsno1]

You mean you haven't seen the clone wars? Whaaaaaat!!!!!

[@CrazyPlatinum92]

smsno1 that's blasphemy

[@arc7744]

I AM GETTING THIS BEAUTY NO MATTER WHAT!! NOTHING WILL STOP ME!!!!!!!!!!

[@CapLives]

Now that we finally have Rex and that traitor Cody, we need Fives, Wolf and other high ranking clones. And the mini gun blaster(I love that thing)

[@ryantheanimator1156]

Those photos at the end look awesome! Great job, Robo.

[@Ocram_sokart]

That's what I was saying the dirt should be scattered sure good mud stains. But similar to a firefighters helmet shine disappears and matte dirt/smoke uniform across.

[@HENRYGAUL]

And btw, The Clone Wars....oh man. You gotta check it out. Great, great cartoon. Curious to hear what you think.

[@ThatOneWookiee]

The Fwoosh you missed something!!!! His antenna/sight moves up and down just like Sabines! Great review as always. I regret buying so many FO stormies and OG stormies and not any clones. It would be nice if they released more single carded or packed ones.

[@TheFwoosh]

You know, I saw that it plugs in and on the inside of the helmet I could see the inside of the plug, but I couldn't get it to turn, only bend at the base.

[@neon_lavander]

what I find funny is that on the slip cover it shows the clone wars rex ( disernable by the kidney plate and belt )and the figure is what a movie design would look like

[@someguy7567]

If you can't commit to watching the whole of the Clone Wars I suggest you watch episodes 7, 8, 9 and 10 of Season 4. They really focus on Rex and his soldiers. Would highly recommend.

[@DanielLopez-fj9yz]

If you can get into Rebels then clone wars will blow you away the last few seasons at least

[@theguardian3431]

Looking forward to a Captain Fordo on this mold!

[@pnrcomps]

picked up 4 Rex at Hascon, fortunately only 1 was slightly melty, but pretty bad that Hasbro let this slip...especially since you had to wait online like 2 hrs to get them.

[@ravensman49]

Love the outside photos

[@someguy7567]

The issue with the right hand being a trigger finger and the left hand not being a trigger finger (and the accompanying articulation) has been a problem for 3.75" Rex for years.

[@jerretzwicker599]

Making removable helmets never seems to work. They should have just done two heasd. He still could have held the helmetted head like an empty helmet.

[@TheFwoosh]

That's my preference too, completely.

[@Dovahkiin0327]

Jerret Zwicker I used to have a 4" storm trooper that had a removable helmet. You could take it off and see a head sculpt under it and the helmet fit perfectly

[@mrfister1234]

The jaina solo figure is the only figure that has a removable helmet that works lmao. Beautiful figure too btw

[@Verithiell]

"So I sliced the index finger away from the rest of the hand" ~Robo, Mr. Lowering-collectors-value-of f-gures-since-early-childhood.

[@TheFwoosh]

Haha, I just want plastic!

[@garyphillips3406]

Now we need a 6" Commander Thorn. The four pack gave us an orange, green, blue and red clone trooper and we can have Cody (orange), Gree (green) and Rex (blue) leading them. "red" needs his commander.

[@arbyforthelossmostofthetim1340]

Gary Phillips red should be either fire, thorn or fox

[@conradojavier7547]

Now, we need Another Rex, & Another Ahsoka Black Series to feel Era Appropriated.

[@ivana.3162]

You need to watch Clone Wars. I love Rebels cause it is linked to events of the OT. I love the Prequels because they are tied in to Clone Wars so yeah. Rex is one of the reasons why I love Clone Wars and why I like Rebels more than I originally have when it started.

[@JackieTheBold]

Hey Robo the EE exclusive Order 66 clone 4 pack is definitely worth it imo. The 501st clone goes great with Rex, the 212th clone goes great with Cody, and since there aren't any Kashyyyk troops yet the 442nd clone goes really well with Gree.

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, I'm getting more and more interested by the minute.

[@kiskacor3694]

A phase 1 helmet would have been nice.

[@TheFwoosh]

Definitely, but it wouldn't have matched the torso with the welds and such.

[@ARC117Studios]

Kis Kacor It wouldn't match. He welded the two phases of armor together, where as his Phase I armor was just plain. It would be a very easy repack for Hasbro to make. Repaint some things, a few new sculpts, bam. Let's hope they do it.

[@nickmackie7743]

When are you reviewing gree??

[@graefx]

Love Clone Troopers and really happy with the articulation improvements. Looking forward to the standard release. Hope they nail all the same paint apps. I'll have to go check Gree and see if his shoulders have improved range.

[@TheFwoosh]

Gree just feels stiff to me. Love the look but he's can't seem to stand at ease very well.

[@kevinolivares1526]

Awesome review man! Ill "try" to get one online if it isn't sold out in 1 minute lol

[@Tyler-bg7rf]

His left hand really bothers me. Rex is known for his dual wielding and he needs double trigger fingers and up and down hinges for both hands. I couldn't care less about his face underneath when we can't get him in his running and shooting pose

[@thenyandiamonds9339]

Hasbro has had this problem with every rex fig since 2009 it was disapointing then it still is know.

[@Mannie_Bothans]

He looks soooo good. And man, you really need to watch Clone Wars asap. Season 5 is the best thing of Star Wars for me in all of the canon.

[@brettcruise296]

The definition of excellence. Thank you Robo you're the best in the biz.

[@anonymous2ndchannel891]

So, quick update, while I'm waiting for the genosis droid to be shipped from japan ( Yeah, it's gonna be a couple weeks, I am working on a diorama. I am going to make the sarlacc pit and I am making it to the 6 inch scale so that it can go with my Kylo Ren. Yep, Kylo Ren is my only black series so far. (I have unmasked and star killer base exclusive)

[@BanthaPooDOOM]

Nice review! I hope to swipe one up on the 20th when it goes on sale on the Hasbro shop. The weathering looks great in my opinion!

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, I love it too. You can see brushstrokes super up close but they look great at a normal distance.

[@floydfreeman1318]

Out of the package Rex had rickets

[@mikiej14]

I think I will wait for the photo real. The wait will be rough.

[@wolfboiiii]

THIS is a must have! but, i don't think i can grab this exclusive , i have to wait until the regular realise .... DAMN IT!

[@gmoney1664]

Looks great and sooo flag we've got a Rex at last!

[@PDiddyA]

Loving the outdoor pics... any idea if Figuarts are doing this figure? If you watch Clone wars you will love it but don't fall too much in love with the series as it was never finished 🙁

[@TheFwoosh]

I doubt Figuarts does this, they haven't released most of the Phase 1s they've shown. I would love a line of commanders and captains though.

[@ltlocus]

cant wait for the repack of this. It looks so much better as far as the face sculpt and no warping. I Just feel bad for people who paid a lot for a sub par version.

[@shawnhenryhobbyman3965]

Awesome Figure

[@eddievelazquez5221]

Always loved his character design! To be more of an exclusive that would be cool if they included all of the different phase helmets, but hey a man can dream😅 GREAT REVIEW

[@BLKSRS]

Mine is on the way, can't wait!

[@billbarman]

Is the range finder supposed to actually articulate? It looks like it does but I'm afraid to try to force it on mine

[@TheFwoosh]

It looks like it should, it's definitely a separate piece plugged in, but mine doesn't want to move. It just bends at the base.

[@TheLeatheryman]

If you love troopers, you'll love The Clone Wars.

[@Commander_Shepard.]

Is the plastic material different from usual Clone Figures?

[@TheFwoosh]

It may be slightly softer but not that much different.

[@Slaker117]

How hard do you think it would be to remove the pauldron and kama? I really want to use those to make some custom arc troopers.

[@TheFwoosh]

It should be that hard, it's only a little glue in the back.

[@Metalpug79]

For any fans of The Clone Wars animated series in this comment section... should we suggest Robo watches Clone Wars in the air date order, or in chronological order? All opinions welcome... do it for Robo!

[@TheFwoosh]

Man, there's two different orders?? C'mon!

[@abimanyuwddn]

yesss. because sometimes you get a flashback episodes and you just didnt notice it being a flashback until you watch that whole episode. and with that many names of the clone troopers, sometimes its confusing and a little hard to remember, but the whole series is very great. it brings a whole new perspective for some prequels character. especially obi wan and anakin

[@abimanyuwddn]

by the way great review as always robo! cant wait to see the face print thing on the next rex

[@Metalpug79]

The Fwoosh www.starwars.com/news/star-wars-the-clone-wars-chronological-episodeorder here's the Chronological order. It's mostly in the early seasons. Some of them you wouldn't even realize that an episode was from an earlier or later season. Once you get in the middle of the series it's pretty much done jumping around

[@CowabungaCat555]

Chronological might be better just to spread some of the weaker season 1 episodes out a bit. Course I've never done it myself so I don't exactly have anything against air date order.

[@tylergates772]

Fantastic looking figure. Going to try to grab the eventual retail release for sure and also try to get the exclusive on HTS as well

[@_Vegtio_72322]

Are you going to slice the finger for commando wolffe to if you order him or get him locally?

[@TheCollector5150]

Unfortunately they just pulled Clone Wars from Netflix but I'm sure its probably available on Disney's streaming...maybe...who knows...but yeah, Clone Wars is awesome! I skipped around through the filler when I rewatched it and it still just blows me away.

[@NoahR_]

Eric Sartin It's still up. I was watching some the other day. Seems like it's on a monthly renewal.

[@TheCollector5150]

Oh nice! Good to know!

[@CG_95]

So is the photorealistic rex gonna be a regular release or did they scrap that for the Hascon exclusive?

[@TheFwoosh]

As far as I know the photo real release is still on for next year.

[@heichun1999]

Those heat issue is terrible...

[@noirerequiemii101]

Very cool diorama photos at the end btw Robo!!!

[@AlexMendoza-du8gd]

One of the figures I have also has a leg issues like this one. How do you fix it exactly? It annoys me so much.

[@TheFwoosh]

Heat, then hold it where you want until it cools, or run it under cold water.

[@darthdevious]

Oh, I am gonna try my damndest to snag one at midnight on the 20th!

[@Verithiell]

BTW, too abd they didnt fix the elbow articulation withcommander Gree...

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, aGreed. See what I did there? I'm so stupid...but yeah, compared to this Gree is a bit stiff, hard to stand in a natural position. But he sure is pretty.

[@alexsouth9433]

I heard this version of Rex has more accessories than the eventual in store release, do you know anything about that? I am trying to decide which version to get. I really want Gree now.

[@TheFwoosh]

I've heard that too. I'm guessing the retail won't have either the standard blaster or the long rifle. Or both. He's gotta come with the pistols.

[@alexsouth9433]

I can live with that as long as he comes with the pistols. I might wait for the new face tech.

[@ethanstarr5561]

Loved the review. Can't wait to get my hands on this guy!

[@Diamondarmy76]

Real quick question. (Probably stupid) im new to doing things to figures so how would i go about slicing the index finger away from the other fingers?

[@TheFwoosh]

Just take a blade and cut along where the fingers should be separate. It won't be perfect because of the sculpt but it'll work.

[@Diamondarmy76]

The Fwoosh thank you

[@joeycoolproductions3173]

Dang I want this

[@johnallen4030]

When are you going to show your displays? They must look nice

[@TheFwoosh]

I may keep that to a first of the year type of thing, give enough time for the displays to change drastically before showing them again. That and give me time to dust, hah.

[@SpoonDude]

Uuggh don't like those orange red gold lines on him... would love to get this when it officially releases tho with the better face paint apps

[@whitespyder9]

This is a fantastic figure. However, I don't understand why it's taking Hasbro so long to pivot to face printing tech on the Black Series figures when they're already doing it on Marvel Legends.

[@TheFwoosh]

Two different factories and departments. Hasbro Hong Kong approached the Marvel team a long time before we actually saw it, takes time to convert. When it went over so well the Star Wars team decided to implement it too. Better late than never, I guess.

[@noirerequiemii101]

Damn the clones are the only time I break my OT figures only rule DX

[@rms13r]

Super happy this was on my feed :)

[@slactionhero3060]

Is "Riding the Dewback" a Fwoosh euphemism?

[@TheFwoosh]

I can neither confirm nor deny that.

[@omanlew16]

Are they going to re-release all the older Black Series with the new photo real tech? You mentioned you would get Rex again when they do him with the photo real that's why I'm curious now

[@TheFwoosh]

I doubt it, they will probably move forward with those character in different looks.

[@mr.nobody5669]

will it receive a regular package release

[@TheFwoosh]

Yup, next year, with the photo real tech for the face.

[@yomellamoronaldo]

Will it come out later on in a regular wave of Black Series?

[@TheFwoosh]

Yup, should be in the next assortment coming in January.

[@yomellamoronaldo]

Awesome! Thanks Robo!!! :D

[@thecoles5090]

I love captain rex he is awsome

[@MichaelZillacraft]

This figure will get a single card release right?

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, next year at some point.

[@jacobchavez3274]

Will this be back in stock or its just a one time thing??

[@chino1moreno]

Awesome figure!!!! I need it

[@Sullixio]

you can buy extra Jango fetts for pretty cheap, and put his head on the clones.

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, true, those may work with a repaint.

[@schoolprojects1835]

How cool would it be if they made all the jedi and sith characters from the clone wars in the realistic design that they are doing especially characters like darth maul, savage oppress and Ahsoka

[@denisogloblin]

I dreamed about this character. But I could not wait. And I made myself out of the clone of the BANDAI clone. I looked at the review. And now I think I did better than HASBRO.

[@Magikknight76]

Fantastic review brother!!! He looks like an amazing figure. I can't wait for the photo real one...

[@TheFwoosh]

Me neither. Because I totally need TWO of these, haha. Hasbro...

[@usersays8599]

anyone know when they'll be releasing Captain Rex on open market?

[@TheFwoosh]

It'l; be next years sometime.

[@mattchu42069]

Missing out on clone wars man established sw series by far

[@CalebsCaveofCollectibles]

Love the review as always! Bring on that photo-real!

[@TheFwoosh]

Agreed, I can't wait to see what they can do with it.

[@luisenriquegarcia6499]

Where do you bought it

[@EZCompanyCollectibles]

Robo...one of dem lucky dudes who knows lucky dudes who gets stuff

[@TheFwoosh]

I'm definitely a lucky guy, can't deny that.

[@FUELEDmag]

Damn man I love your reviews I'm so getting this but I'm kinda pissed that I want it so bad I actually want the photo real but I'm gonna get this as well... just wondering if I can alter or repaint this one to resemble fives and echo lol but I have to see how much more I would have to do to make him fives and echo when the photo real comes out haha. I highly recommend you watch the clone wars it's amazing and sad how these guy go from domino squad to becoming arc troopers etc.

[@bjrnhalfhand2258]

This is the one I've been waiting for. I think it's a death tally for his closest brothers rather than a kill tally.

[@FUELEDmag]

Bjørn Halfhand yea probably fallen brothers or missions or battles fought

[@hamandjam9322]

I just got my rex in the mail and the box it came in was crushed...so I took photos and opened it up...and the fig box is crushed too...the fig itself appears fine...but this is one I wanted for mint in box...so anyone that knows please tell me what I can do about it if anything...I know they're sold out and I dont want a refund...I want a replacement...please tell me Hasbro save some sold out product just for situations like this...?...or do I chalk it up to the game?

[@johnthompkins9593]

Face looks real enough for me.

[@thesarge5605]

Robo... you need to watch The Clone Wars... it's a great series IMO... Rex is one of my favorite characters from the series... & this is a good looking figure (heat damage aside...) but I think I'm going to make my own from a Bandai kit... I've only got 2 Black Series figures... Ashoka & Sabine... only because I very much doubt Bandai will make kits of them... & you can't knock those kits for anything other than maybe how the instructions aren't always clear on how things fit together... Great review as always Robo... I always look forward to your videos...👍👍👍

[@TheFwoosh]

Thanks man! And yeah, I prefer the kits, but Hasbro gave it a damn good try.

[@ghost5624]

On the 20th of what, this month?

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, September.

[@ThatGuyStephen-zx7pc]

Who responds to your Facebook page messages? And does the scope on the helmet move?as usual great video and love my articulated icons the shinobi figure is awesome..and solitare is a beast.. great work on these figures brother.

[@kbthetoyhunter1351]

Awesome video bro

[@axevictim1018]

Will he come out normally

[@ToyBro]

He does, he comes out next year but he won't have all the guns and of course a regular box.

[@someguy7567]

Toy Bro just to be clear he'll have his two pistols.

[@axevictim1018]

Toy Bro thanks 😂😂😂 I was so worried

[@kringle1369]

Awesome video as always Robo! Damn, now I need Rex, as well as Gree (which my tru still beligerently have not restocked since Force Friday. My Cody, & the phase 1 clone captain are real lonely!! Take Care man. Catch ya next time!

[@kuldipbinning1989]

Great review.

[@HENRYGAUL]

Hey Robo. Great review as usual. Damn, man. I'm sorry he arrived in such shitty condition. I'll hit you up about that. Great review though.

[@AntonymicallyCorrect]

Just remember: unless you are a RABID Godzilla fan, you can pretty much skip the 'Zillo Beast' arc at the end of season 3. It's 90 minutes you'll never get back

[@2682shark]

That head looks like Jango's head

[@KingInBlack24]

The Clone Wars is fucking great

[@KingInBlack24]

And now I want clone wars anakin and obi wan with the printed faces.

[@KingInBlack24]

And mace... And why haven't we gotten a kit fisto?

[@SpoonDude]

Venom_24 Oh man I'd love a Clone Wars Anakin with a movie likeness.

[@Brian-mi5kg]

dang this might be my first prequel figure
