Star Wars Disney Clone Commander Gree Helmet Review and Comparison

[@Jedi_flodux]

Helmet looks fantastic! And I feel as if Disney is the more true to scale version. I loved the phase 2 helmets by Hasbro but they are a bit bigger than the other helmets they produced. Regarding what you said about Disney giving us more phase 2 helmets: I agree, I have a feeling that their exclusivity contract with hasbro is winding down. Hence why we see more things such has these helmets and things such as the c3po head. This was apparent to me when I noticed the black series lightsabers/helmets really slowed down in production. I feel as if they don’t make even 1/3rd of what they used to

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Yeah, I think you may be on to something there, Flodux. I would have expected Hasbro to have pumped out a few more Phase II variants by now since they already have the mold. I wonder if the have a non-compete clause in place with Disney so they don't end up producing the same helmets. In any fashion, we, who love the Phase II helmets, win with two producers out there going at it! Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video as well. I appreciate it!

[@CollectingStuffNThings]

I really enjoy the color scheme of this helmet. I have been on the fence whether to pick this one up or not but after watching your video I am getting it. Thanks for getting this early and giving us a look at it. Good luck with the move, I know what a pain in the butt that can be. Look forward to the next video.

[@PaulsCollectibles]

I agree, Ryan. As an Army veteran, I was happy to finally see some camo clones for sure. And I'm glad I was able to help with your decision-making with this video. It has a couple flaws, but overall, this helmet displays beautifully. Plus, I've always been a fan of the Phase II clone design. Thanks for the kind words as well. Moving to Montana in the middle of the winter, from Arizona, is definitely going to test my patience, and my marriage! haha! We'll see how it goes.

[@tabletopstudios66]

I just went to Disney world and picked this up. I was on the fence for a bit, but looking at it again, I couldn’t pass it up. I compared it to the ROTS images of Gree online, and every detail lined up. Anyone who goes to Galaxies Edge should 100% pick this one up.

[@PaulsCollectibles]

I agree, Tabletop. I think that for the money they are charging for these, you can't find a better deal on a well-made product. I'm glad to have this one in my collection and I hope they continue making more of the Phase II variations for us. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video!

[@tabletopstudios66]

@@PaulsCollectibles No problem! I really hope they make Commander Bly next.

[@marcelloneria7547]

I was on the fence with this one, but you convinced me to place my order. Thanks!!

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Oh, good to hear, Marcello! I'm glad this video helped you make the decision. And thank you for stopping by and checking it out!

[@troy242]

Thanks for the review!

[@PaulsCollectibles]

You're welcome Paco. Thanks for stopping by and checking it out!

[@SG12gk]

The look is absolutely amazing, and that’s another great review all great points. I’ve seen many not happy about the front side vents being there when only the back ones are in revenge of the sith, does that matter much to you as I’m sure it would only make a slight imperfection to the accuracy

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Thanks for the kind words, Shay! I appreciate it. And yeah, I've seen other comments about those inaccurate vents. They don't bother me, per se. It's clearly just a repaint of the 187th Battalion helmet. What does seem a little off is the painted on vents right behind them. I feel they should have chosen one or other. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video!

[@yes51472]

Woah. The metallic look gives it a less toyish vibe compared to that disneys 187th' purple trooper helmet. hopefully hasbro launches Commander Cody's helm one of these days. I'd be all over that one.

[@PaulsCollectibles]

This one is a good looking helmet for sure, Fizzacles. And I agree. They do a really good job of making plastic look like bare, shiny metal when they want to. And I would LOVE a Cody helmet as well. That would be great!

[@Chasing80sToys]

Looks great. Love your collection of helmets🙌

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Thank you, sir. And to be honest, the helmet collection is in bit of sad state right now, because I am slowly packing up the collection room to move houses. Thus, there's boxes on top of the cabinets and the helmets stands are missing. I can't wait to get it all set back up again in the new house!

[@gag-dodgers]

Good review 👍

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Thanks, Gabe!

[@gag-dodgers]

@ ur welcome

[@SeriouslyStarWars]

Awesome review Paul! The commander Gree helmet looks great!

[@PaulsCollectibles]

This one does look really good, Christopher. That bare metal look they gave it in places sure did come out nicely! Thanks for stopping by as always!

[@stuartdavies10]

Another great video Paul, thankyou.

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Thank you, Stuart! I appreciate the kind words. They're fun to produce and share.

[@MattsCollection]

If I were to get this helmet, the first thing I would have to do is check to make sure Gree's head was not in it. Nice looking helmet, Paul. Thanks for the great review!

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Haha! No doubt, Matt! Don't want to inherit a bio hazmat situation for sure! And thank you for the kind words. I've slowed down on the KZbin thing for a number of reasons lately, but I do still enjoy talking about, collecting and producing the helmet videos. And as always, thanks for always stopping by and supporting me!

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

Excellent job. I expect nothing less from you 😜😂❤

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Thank you for the enthusiastically kind words, Ricky!

[@cirespeedreviews]

Awesome Paul, very cool to see it reviewed, looks good, but kind of odd the different whites that's on the side, and on the back, but the silver and green looks great. 👏

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Thanks, Cirespeed. I appreciate the kind words. And yeah, it was a bit of a shock to me a while ago when I realized that he has a creme color and a white color on his helmet. And I agree. The silver on this looks really good and is shiny and reflective. I'm surprised at how well they can make plastic look like bare metal. Thanks for stopping by as wlaways!

[@michaelhendrickson1893]

Great looking helmet. That would look good on a full size mannequin. Would look great next to your full sized stormtrooper. A before and after troopers

[@PaulsCollectibles]

That's a great idea, Michael! I have the Stormtrooper statue and the Transport Trooper statue. I would definitely like to look into getting more life-size statues depending on the space I have for sure. They look great and people are wow'ed when the see them!

[@ayeitsjonjon]

If they ever do Commander Bacara, I'm snatching it

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Oh! No doubt, Jon! That unique look of his would be cool to have for sure.

[@juliangarza4863]

Just ordered mine, I wish I could show you a picture of the collection I’m slowly putting together

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Congrats, Julian! I bet the collection is a thing to behold for sure!

[@marksamson4990]

At the end of the day, you only get what you pay for. Cool video Paul 😊

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Truer words were never spoken, Mark! And thank you for the kind words. I appreciate you stopping by and checking i out.

[@Gforceracing20]

Hey Paul!

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Sup, Gforce!

[@garymoore1975]

OK, after seeing the size difference, I’m glad I didn’t order this one. Did you consider picking up the Ren helmet?

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Oh, that's interesting, Gary. The vast majority of those who comment on these Disney helmets prefer them because they are smaller, not the other way around. Glad to hear that I am not the only one who doesn't mind the larger size of the Hasbro helmets. And no, I don't have any of the Kylo helmets. I've just never been a fan of the design, and the sequel trilogy was not amongst my favorites. So, with rare exceptions, I usually just end up sticking to the trooper helmets.

[@William_Foxwell]

i wish they were not sold out, this helmet looks stunning

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Hey, William, I don't know where you are located in the world, but the online Disney Store here in the US shows that it is still in-stock and available for purchase. Hope this helps: www.disneystore.com/41st-legion-clone-commander-gree-voice-changing-helmet-for-adults-star-wars-417143255417.html?isProductSearch=1&searchType=autosuggest-popular&siteSearchTopProduct=1

[@zombiehunter1152]

Hey Paul I think that helmet has batteries in it already, cos if you see where the batteries go in. There’s a pull tag to pull out, so the batteries can touch the terminals so the batteries don’t go flat, looks great tho.

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Oh! Look at that! That's a good point, Zombie. I'm from the "*batteries not included" generation, so I'm always surprised when they are included, and I never think that's an option! haha! Thanks for checking out the video

[@zombiehunter1152]

@ I always watch your videos bro 👍

[@EinfachNoah]

i prefer the smaller tighter helmet as it doesnt look as goofy. i would have liked to see a comparison of the helmets on you to se how it looks on a human

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Yeah, I am finding with my two Disney helmet videos now, that you are in the majority there, Noah. Most are saying they don't mind that it opens up at the back since it is smaller than the Hasbro versions and looks more "screen accurate." Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video.

[@dylancloud1469]

I want this mainly because it’s in Thrawn’s office.

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Oh! I'd forgotten all about that, Dylan. That's an excellent motivator for sure!

[@kombatevolve]

Does it bother u that the helmets r different size?

[@PaulsCollectibles]

It doesn't, Combat. I don't mind because I feel they represent different versions of the clones we have seen, whether in live-action or animated. Plus, I have multiple versions of several helmets and they all always seem to vary slight.y. It's just the name of the game. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video!

[@1LuminousBeing]

So the size is screen accurate, and your eyes aren't visible through the visor, right? 🤔

[@PaulsCollectibles]

I talk about the size comparisons throughout the whole video, Joshua. That's really up for you to decide. And I put the helmet on under harsh filming lights at the end of the video. Check it out and see if you can see my eyes.

[@1LuminousBeing]

@ perfect, I was weary with Jazwares after I saw their Revan mask. The visor was pretty clear, good to know Gree's is dark enough.

[@ZeroHunterToys]

I want one. My favourite clone trooper.

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Oh, I did not know that, Matt. And where would you put it if you did get one? Your background seems to be dominated by al those beautiful Hot Toys at the moment! haha!

[@metadude1234]

I hope this comes back in stock for Disney AU; $150 for a helmet with free shipping? Sign me up The Ebay prices are $250+ XD (without free ship)

[@PaulsCollectibles]

That sucks to hear they are out of stock over there, GimpedLoco. Last I checked, they were still in-stock here at the US Disney Store online, so hopefully you'll get more in stock down there. This is a good looking helmet for the price and looks great in-hand. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video!

[@davidnorris8724]

I just got it🤦🏼‍♂️ Commander Gree-n🤦🏼‍♂️🤣

[@PaulsCollectibles]

I see what you did there, David! haha!

[@collectorempire_km]

I would be tempted with this helmet but the front vents are not accurate to the source material. They shouldn’t be there at all.

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Yeah, Collector, a few other people have mentioned those. It's clearly because this is a straight repaint of the 187th Battalion helmet. The thing that cracks me up is that they have those vents, but then they painted on more right behind them. They should have just chosen one or the other. haha! Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video!

[@collectorempire_km]

@ no problem and yeah, if they got rid of the front ones and kept the back ones, then it would’ve been accurate haha. Laziness but ultimately, wasted some paint / sculpting with the front ones.

[@paulbuhagiar7332]

The Disney helmet is miles better than the Hasbro (mine has been retired now). Aside from the size difference, and the Disnney version looking more screen accurate, if you look at the top of the visor, the Disney version is flush to the helmet, while the Hasbro has a huge gap!

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Yeah, these two different versions of the Phase II Clone helmet certainly have divided the collectors for sure, Paul. I like them both for different reasons. The worst thing about the Disney helmet is that back piece that separates out and leaves two HUGE seams on the side of the helmet. Overall, the Disney versions do look really good, though. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video!

[@CaseyPriceForsakenhero]

Can't wait to get my hands on c3p0!!

[@PaulsCollectibles]

I have seen tons of videos and pictures of it. It looks really cool and the voice sounds are actually good!
