They love the 501st so much they even decided to paint the 212th Airborn trooper blue!

Now see you must be misremembering they were totally blue in the movie!what!?
Where's the orange one? The 'real' one.
wait, this is real? Not a photoshop?
What is happening.
It's 5th Fleet apparently not 501st, but as far as I'm aware they never actually appeared in the movie, just concepts.This is so stupid. The 501st was never on Utapau in any media. They were on Coruscant and Mandalore during the Battle of Utapau, and we never saw the Beehive helmet on any of those guys in live action or in The Clone Wars. Idk what Hot Toys was thinking here, but hopefully people don't buy it so they aren't encouraged to keep making everything in 501st colors.
It'd be cool if the released the 212th first.That's hilarious, a ROTS concept art / BF2 2005 Sharpshooter Airborne, would have thought the chances of that were basically 0 - that's actually really cool, since the blue looks a good match for the original 501st release I'm actually rather tempted if it actually releases like this. They should definitely give him a sniper rifle to complete the BF2 2005 look.
212th must surely be coming soon anyway now, doubt it'll be a much longer waitIt'd be cool if the released the 212th first.
