Five?! FIVE?!! How dare you, HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME WANT TO BUY 2 MORE NOW! 🤣🤣🤣 Seriously man, great indepth review. The kama bunching up is a little irritating, but i managed to get them to look right on my 3 by giving them a good tug. What a great design. So many to choose from in the game, and I hope HT gives us more unique Clones from it. Congrats! 💯🍻🤘🤘🤘
🤣💀 Can you imagine 5, omg!! 😅 Thanks for the info on the kama, I didn't want to pull it much because it seems like there's a strap stitched onto it which I didn't want to damage, but yeah I'll probably go back and gently try and smooth it out a bit more. Infinite clone variants really aren't there, I just to need to work out how to create infinite space 😅 Cheers for watching mate, and massive thanks for sharing! 🙏😊
@TK421Collectibles NGL, I entertained it, and I think I'm good with what I got. I gave the kama on all mine a decent tug, but I was also prepared for something to break. It didn't fully smooth it out, but it was just enough where it didn't look so bunched up. Use caution. My pleasure on the share. 😁🍻🙏
9:04 That looks really good.
🙌🏻👊🏻
I’d like to see the ARC Troopers utilize the components on their pack at some point. If I had to guess, it’s mainly long range communication pieces, but I have no idea.
Grats on getting lucky! He’s a random one for sure. He demands attention in any display he’s in making it harder to figure out. 😂
Awesome review! 🎉
This is a very good point! We hardly ever see troopers or clones doing much with the backpacks do we (that I can remember anyway!).
Yes we both lucked out getting our hands on this one I think! Thanks for checking out the vid my friend, really appreciate it as always! 👊🏻
That is really going to pop on display, I'm trying to not go down the rabbit hole of clones but this one is really tempting, I'm pleased this week I managed to get a executioner trooper at a great price .... gr8 review as ever Chris
Wise to not get into clones tbh! Because they are spread across lots of different shelves I didn't realise there were quite so many already! Ah mate congrats on the Executioner Trooper!! I love that trooper, massively underrated! 👊🏻
Wicked cool
👊🏻😃
Very nice difficult decision to choose which option.
Cheers mate!! I'm constantly changing the helmet at the moment cos can't decide! 😅 Thanks for watching! 👊🏻
Aint he magnificent? Got mine two days ago, and it just reinforced my desire to get a second one. So many figures, so little money....oh, the humanity!
Great vid, my friend.
Two would be great wouldn't it!! But yeah too many figures incoming so need to be a bit careful with the pennies!! Cheers for watching Daniel 👊🏻
Fantastic think i keep saying this is my favourite for every review! Love the cody style helmet...all of them really i would have to swap them out once every 2 months! Looks so good with the other clones ....nice one !
Ha yeah every time I get a new figure in I always think it's the best thing ever! 😅 I definitely get new figure hype quite bad! And yeah I'm going to have to put the helmets all within reach so I can swap them round regularly, they're all so good! Thanks for checking out the video 👊🏻
Another beautiful review!! That weathering on the helmet is soooo good!
Thank you mate!! I thought the armour was going to be pretty pristine but was really pleased with how weathered it is overall, looks so good! Thank you for checking out the vid, I appreciate it 👊🏻
No doubt this looks cool, but I’m saving my money for more display cases. Plus I’m not a huge gamer, so before this release I didn’t know about this variant. I’m just glad everyone seems to be having a great time!
If you never played the game then yeah I can understand why it's an easy pass. Plus display cases can be very pricey can't they!!! Thanks for watching mate, even though you're not picking this one up 👊🏻
Even tho it wasn’t in battlefront 2, an umbra first order stormtrooper would look amazing. That color way would make first order even better.
It's a good point, other armors would very cool painted up like this wouldn't they!! I'm a bit of a purist when it comes to OT troopers though, I just prefer them as they appear in Episode IV! But yeah as one-off variants, awesome!! Thanks for watching 👊🏻
I got mine through TBA on launch day. I definitely paid more than retail, but it was worth it. Mine is being displayed in the Phase 1.5 helmet and dual wielding DC-17s.
I have a full squad of Coruscant Guard including three customs of the three classes from BF2 (Officer, Heavy and Specialist) so he’ll probably be with them.
Yeah I prefer the Phase 1.5 helmet (although in the video I forgot that’s what it’s called 🤦🏻♂️😅). Your setup sounds amazing, especially with this guy joining them!! 👊🏻
❤🤯💥🤩 You said it this guy is like no one else ! really really pops, I genuinely like all 3 helmets and this is one figure that definitely needs to be rotated, why limit yourself to just one look👍congratulations on getting him I know he is very much sought after and that unfortunately scalpers will be looking for funny money which is a pet hate of mine. Delighted he has made his way safely in to your stellar collection if anyone deserves to have got him then it’s your good self … massive congratulations 👍Enjoyed hearing your thoughts, as always looking forward to more great content to come on the channel, mind how you go 👍
Thanks Andrew!! Yes the scalping is not good, makes the whole thing a bit more stressful than it needs to be! Don't think Hot Toys should (or even needs) to announce its limited... they could just release it and then only collectors who actually want the figure would buy it. But saying its limited suddenly a lot more people want it because of FOMO! Thanks for watching mate 👊🏻
The release of this figure gives me Hope that there will be a great chance that fives ,arc echo and many more other arc trooper will be released soon 🤩🤩🤩also hope they can also release some clone commandos in the future as I think most of us will want an entire hot toys delta squad👍🏻
Yes!! Would love to see Hot Toys expand on the whole Clone Wars line tbh 🙌🏻 And yeah Republic Commandos line would be cool but not sure it will happen, but like you say there's always hope!!! Thanks for watching 👊🏻
Congrats on getting one mate! I was able to source one from HK after all. I refused to miss out on this release!
Ah congrats to you too mate!! Yes I think I would have been a bit cross if I'd missed out tbh 😅 So unique, just had to get it!
Cheers for watching 👊🏻
I so wish I would have been able to get one… I was logged in and ready on sideshow and right when it hit the time I was 4000 in line. Didn’t even have a chance. Now it’s far more expensive than I’m willing to pay. Glad you managed to get one tho, it sure does look stunning. I’m just looking forward to when we (hopefully) get more arc troopers. My most wanted figure would probably be Fives. Hot toys absolutely NEEDS to make him! Great review as always man! 😁
I find that Sideshow queue system quite frustrating but it does seem like it's the fairest way really, although I bet most of the 4000 ahead of you in the queue weren't *genuinely* wanting to get this for their collection! Which sucks for me and you who ended up with high numbers!!! But yeah fingers crossed for more ARC troopers (and clones in general tbh!). Thanks for checking out the video mate, much appreciated 👊🏻
Not personally a clone guy myself but I can appreciate how cool this looks. I really dig the black and yellow and this for sure is going to stand out on the shelf for sure! Crazy the hype for this figure and how fast the price jumped once it sold out. Congrats on scoring one my friend and great review/breakdown as always!
Mate it was crazy! You could see the price going up in realtime as supplies started to dwindle 🤑 Awful really because it just adds a layer of stress to the hobby that no-one needs 😅 Thank you for watching mate, especially as Clones aren't your thing 👊🏻
Glad you love it Chris. I'm not a clone guy (as you know). It certainly has a shelf presence. I'm not a fan of the matt black finish on the armour.
Hey Paul, appreciate you checking out the video even though you're not a fan of this one! 👊🏻
@@TK421Collectibles Always glad to give you a "like".
Mine arrived today! Looks amazing! Good video mate
Yessss! Congrats mate! 😃🙌🏻 Cheers for checking out the vid 👊🏻
@@TK421Collectibles cheers mate! Keep up the good work 😁
Good review....and a new record set! I actually received a figure BEFORE Chris put out his review! LOL. I don't have the numbers of figs in my collection to make the helmet choice difficult - the Commader helmet. its badass. I'm going to do a mix of troopers in my display - as soon as I finish renos and get around to building it. Let us know where yours ends up. Cheers. YNWA
Ah great glad you got yours!! Everything pretty much shuts down here for Easter weekend so it took a bit longer for mine to land! I went for the Commander helmet in the end too! Although I'm itching to switch it up already!! 😅 Thanks for watching mate and for the continued support!! 👊🏻#YNWA
How are you coping without one of your kidneys Chris lol?! Congrats on the pickup - you did well to get one! Must admit, this has grown on me, but personally didn’t want to splash a lot of cash on this one. I’m hoping to pick up further down the line at some point, when hopefully the price may have dropped (like Arena Fett). It certainly stands out on the shelf and looks great next to the other clones. Loved all the comparisons - definitely a great feature of your videos mate! Phase 2 helmet on this is definitely the way to go! 👍🏼
Well that’s the reason we have two kidneys right? One is to trade for Hot Toys 😅😅 But yes it was a bit pricey for a trooper, and I agree it’ll definitely drop in price like Arena Fett at some point so hopefully you can grab it at 👍🏻 Cheers for watching David! 👊🏻
Not a clone fan too but yeah this one has such an incredible presence ! Absolutely Stunning ! Phase 2 is the best so far !!! Hopefully for my wallet, concerning the movies I stay with the OT with a few exceptions... 😅 Thanks for your review TK, you are the best Bro 😊
Staying with OT figures will definitely be easier on your wallet, for sure!! 😃 Thanks for watching even though you are not a clone fan! 🙌🏻
@@TK421Collectibles Always a pleasure to watch... I love your videos Bro. Everything is well made, the way you present figures, simplicity, very smart ! I think you doing awesome job man, really appreciate. Peace
🙏👊🏻
Top figure! Nice vid Chris!
Thank you mate, cheers for watching and commenting 👊🏻
Is he Umbra-leavable? 🤣🤣 Great review as always. I didn't bother as I don't collect this era
🤣😂💀 definitely umbraleavable!! Thanks for watching mate, even tho you’re not picking this one up 👊🏻
That's Phase 1.5, not Phase 2. The Jesse figure has the Phase 2 helmet. Granted the grill piece on the front is inaccurate to what an ARC trooper helmet should look like, but Clone Wars was pretty inconsistent as well.
Argh yeah you’re right!! Cheers for the reminder 👊🏻
I skipped this one. If low price, opportunity, and extra space all meet at a crossroad in the future, I might pull the trigger then. Like most troopers, they look great in multiples!
I hope the stars align and you manage to grab it! Price seems to be coming down slowly but surely. Due to all the reasons you mention is why I could only (just barely) get one tbh. Multiples just aren't feasible for me, but you're right they look great don't they!! Thanks for checking out the vid 👊🏻
Just love the way this guy looks. The color scheme on him just pops, would be great is the display .Personally, surprisingly I love the phase 1 helmet the most. HIs expensive and hassle to get but personally , he's totally worth it as long as not the over the top prices we see now . Waiting for mine and from what I see here , cant wait. Awesome review as always mate.
It’s an amazing look isn’t it, so awesome!! Honestly I can’t choose between the helmets 😅 it’s a shame the price went crazy, hope you get yours soon mate 👊🏻
A shower head!? So the Arc Trooper is responsible for his buddies taking a nice shower from time to time? I am sure this attachment serves something else. But for what is it really? I have to investigate when mine arrives.
Well, I guess he will look quite nice next to my Arena Suit Boba. On my shelf, Mandalorians and Clones live peacefully together.
Yep, the imperial and republic troopers with those backpacks were renowned for being the best smelling battalions in the galaxy! 🚿😂
But really, I don’t know what it’s for in-universe, but the prop for the ANH sandtrooper incorporated a shower head sprayed black 👍🏻
Great idea I’ve been wondering where to put this one in the collection but may add next to Arena Fett too! Thanks for checking out the video Sandra! 👊🏻
Got a hot take, I'm really disappointed in hot toys, it's because apparent now that they just spray all the blasters with silver speckle paint and don't bother weathering them anymore. Compared to the properly weathered weapons they look like toys. That's a problem when you start churning out loads of figures you end up making compromises with production quality to speed things up.
I know what you mean, but with the clones the weapons were originally based on the animated series, so in that respect due to the art style they are pretty screen accurate. But it will be interesting to double-check the weapons when a proper live-action related figure next releases 👍🏻 Cheers for checking out the vid mate 👊🏻
@@TK421Collectibles I'm sure there is some recent figures that have these paint jobs, stuff from Mando, bobba, I think. Could be wrong lol. Always dude, keep up the great work 👍🏻
@@TK421Collectiblesunfortunately these blasters are based on inaccurate movie props, hot toys has used the wrong blaster carbine and rifle for every clone
@poky3933 Thanks for the info! So is that from a weathering perspective or the actual design/look of the blaster? I do tend to overlook the finer details in *everything* tbh 😅 so I then find this kind of information really interesting 👍🏻
I'm confused by the addition of the Cody style helmet here. Not only is the Umbra Operative never shown to wear that helmet, but the markings on the face plate of it are completely different to the markings on the phase 1 and phase 2 helmets.
Never thought about that tbh but you are right, the shape of the other helmets lends itself to the patterning but not so much the Commander version! I guess they wanted to have Phase 1, Phase 1.5 (I got the text wrong in the vid!) and Phase 2, with the Phase 2 being the Commander. Interesting decision by HT! Thanks for checking out the vid 👊🏻
A shame stand out pieces like this get hit with the artificial scarcity when we have guaranteed bargain bin troopers like the Scout Trooper Commander hitting the market.
The scummy business practice sours any love I would have for this figure. I'm gonna keep an eye out for it but not expect to get it for a reasonable price.
Hey Hank, yeah I agree it does spoil the hobby a bit! I don't think they need to highlight the fact its limited, just produce a low number and release it like normal, it will sell out and Hot Toys will have made the same amount of money selling to the distributors. Making a big thing of it being limited just inflates the price and at the end of the day it's the collector that loses out. I hope you get to pick it up at some point when the prices start to come down, which I'm sure they will! 👊🏻
