I think I made a comment somewhere while Kenobi was still airing, that I liked the lighter blue better than the blue we had on the previous figure. I still do think it looks a lot better, but I'm not getting this. I just really don't like the HT Clones. They look too cartoony on the shelf. I had the 501st figure, but I sold him, cancelled my Rex order before it even got in and I'm this (🤏) close to selling Cody as well.
 
What a complete waste of resources. They made new tooling for *this* lol. Not a fan of the changes they made to the Phase II armor. The screen used costume looks like it was intentionally left incomplete since it was only going to be seen in low light and touched up with CG. Like what are those gaps and seams?
 
I love clones, but have no interest in this, don't like the gaps in armor, don't like the teal color and it won't go with any of the TCW/ROTS clones we've gotten or will continue to get.

If they wanted more army builder and clone sales, the 212th and Wolfpack are just begging to be made. We haven't had a normal Stormtrooper on the market either, give us that.

It is an easy money maker for Hot Toys, so I get it, but I don't need it. If I wanted another 501st clone, I'd stick to Version 1.0 and get a sealed one from eBay.
 
They don’t get rid of the gap on the ROTJ scout trooper helmet, but they’ll resculpt so many tiny details on this clone. Not like the Kenobi clones have been an iconic figure for 40 years or anything.

All I see are a bunch of differences that will prevent them from blending with the dozen or so clones I already have or have on preorder. This release is an easy pass for me. And if they switch to these molds for future clone releases, then I guess I am done buying clones. Thanks for saving me money, Hot Toys.
