1/6 Hot Toys - MMS649 - Episode II: Attack of The Clones - Geonosis Battle Droid

[Chainedstream]

Got mine a few days ago, and looks good, but feels cheap in hand.

Felt same first time handling the SS version. Believe this version is top notch compared to that. Let’s see some pics of the clanker!

I find it odd this figure only has 10 pages. Would expect heavier interest in a clanker. Maybe due to it being the red iteration and not normal beige?

Could be the low edition size of the clone trooper and the sticker shock of the droid.

Sideshow was serving them up like hot cakes in two packs that were reasonably priced for what they were years back. The HT has some better quality to it and better paint, but it also appears to be short produced and sold out. HT made some strange decisions on this 20th anny line, may have been spooked by three potential shelf warmers with clones, droids and super droids hanging around if made in large volumes and not received well.

Super happy with these guys. I have always preferred the beige version… but having them in hand, I think I like the red better.

Awesome duo, hope you'll add the super to it and Dooku! Maybe throw in a Fett? In need of getting some droids....

Love your photo, saw it on Facebook yesterday. At first I thought you had a squad but then read the comments. Maybe one could make a backdrop with these? Would go well with any AOTC figure!

I have Jango in a case with the shiny trooper and clone pilot… I do have a super preordered. He will replace Dooku in the display once he arrives.

Finally got around to opening these guys and Mando Luke.

Glad I got 2, I just don’t think they have enough of a presence with just one on the shelf. They are so much better than the cheap ones we got from Sideshow.

Sticking with 2 though, don’t need anymore of these, might grab 3 or 4 of the beige variants though.

“3 or 4 battle droids is a good start, but what you really need is 6. 8 is an even nicer number. You can pick the variants though.”​

This is likely what will happen lol.

How does it feel in hand, cheapish?

Honestly? Not too bad, I mean they do feel cheaper than their other figures, just due to their design, the B1's are pretty much stick figures with a backpack and a gun lol.

Not as cheap as the Sideshow B1's though, which were kinda crappy to be honest.

A little, but it just what it is because there isn’t a lot to it. Very lightweight.

I got my first one on Wednesday. Second one is coming on Monday according to tracking.

First time I’ve ever bought a direct duplicate of a Hot Toys release. Two felt right in this case though. If/when the tan variant is made I’ll probably get a couple of them too.

It is only one moved around and then photoshopped into one pic. It is a clever trick that makes one seem like an army.

 

[Centrocal]

Is anyone experiencing the separate antenna attachment popping out? It wont stay in.

 

[hokietwo]

Got the first one in and these are a big step up from the sideshow versions. Really fun to pose, I do love the coloring and damage of this version. Really neat release for what it is. Roger Roger!

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Really nice figure. I had two then traded one off and then reordered to have two again cuz they just look better in sets.

 

[Joe Prince]

I got one in so far. Waiting for the second. It is a bit frail but they are walking skeletons. It is a great figure though. It is taller and lighter colored than the SS versions. But the lighter color allows for more weathering to come through. Can't wait for the Super Battle Droid!
