1/6 Hot Toys - TMS064 -The Clone Wars: ARC Trooper Jesse

Or up until another company capable of doing similar quality figures emerges and gets SW license.

I need the helmet.

Me too...

We're about to eat real good. Mandalorian, Book of Boba, Ahsoka, Kenobi, Andor.

There will be so many big name characters you'll be begging for a break. This is actually the calm before the storm. So let HT crank out some clones in the down time while they're working on the new stuff. The clones will allow them to fund bigger projects.

Not to mention, we want these clones and have been waiting for them since HT first showed off the airborne clone troopers at conventions in like 2018

Jesse looks amazing. No interest for me though - I'm happy with just Rex for now. I would probably bite if they did Wolffe though.

*Bespin Han*....crickets...

This guy looks amazing but trying to resist Clone fever.
Been there with all of Sideshows...

I haven’t seen a single person ever seriously ask for a Jesse or Vaughn figure.

And you’re right, I do have options. Sadly, most don’t.

I asked for both, seriously.

This is another good point, the sales of troopers (Storm/Clone) in general, helps to fund the smaller requested characters. Hasbro and other companies do the same.

All of you with a crazy amount of 501st clones, are you planning on recreating that final scene with Jesse, Ahsoka and Rex at the landing pad? Sad scene, but would look awesome.

Also, a scene with Vaughn, some 501st and 332nd, Ahsoka, Rex and Maul would be cool to recreate!

 

[sithocan]

It must be done.

Considering the lengths at which SSC is going to take them out, I'd be more worried about SSC still being around tbh.

Nobody goes to that length if they're not feeling some pain.

You think Toys Wonderland is going to outlast Sideshow? Toys Wonderland is a handful of people who wait for hours in the rain to get as many first batch figures as possible so they can overcharge impatient collectors in other regions. Sideshow on the other hand is the official distributor of Hot Toys, and they apparently wield enough power to make HT change the way their figures are distributed.

I'm no fan of Sideshow's often shady business practices but they aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

Kinda wish Jesse had the usual range finder on his helmet like most ARC Troopers. Maybe the fin that some have. Its only a little thing but it would, in my opinion, make it look cooler.
(I'm not suggesting this is an error on HT's part, I'm aware it's how he appears in the show)

 

[Star-Crunch]

Well, since you’re going to be rude and show no civility in your response…

I don’t think it’s a ridiculous opinion to want a C-3PO, arguably one of the most recognizable characters in all of cinema and especially Star Wars, before a background character who never appeared in a movie and had about 4 minutes of screen time on a show.

Just because something is easy to produce doesn’t mean it should. 1/6 scale collecting isn’t about army building (because few can financially or logistical sustain it). I expect that if a company have a license, they remain mindful of what is released.

This isn’t SWTBS or Vintage. We barely get more than a few figures *teased* annually, let alone produced.

The only thing that’s ridiculous is weird excitement over another obscure clone that few will buy.

Just bought two Jesse plus one ill fated Vaughn, bring on more clones .

The juxtaposition between these 2 posts is hilarious

To each their own. I don’t think what I’m saying is crazy.

I hope people actually end up putting their money where their mouth is and buy these up. And I’m happy that it makes them happy too.

Had a couple busy days at work and checking my PO options just now. Noticed yesterday that TBA listed Jesse as sold out but thought they'd restock as they usually do. Surprisingly, it appears today Jesse isn't listed anymore in their PO category.

All I really want from Clones is Rex and Wolffe. That’s it.

I pre-ordered Jesse. I have no interest in Vaughn without a head sculpt but I'm not sure he even took his helmet off in his limited on screen time. Maybe someday I'll get him if he hangs around and I have a coupon.

I'll say this - Clones I would buy as soon as they go up would be Fox, Fives, Echo, Hardcase, Kix, Wolffe, Waxer, Howser and a generic 212th Trooper. Clones I would consider buying would be Ponds, Havoc, Colt, Gregor, and Thorn. Just for perspective.

These are going to sell.

I think the original idea was to have Jesse stand out from Echo and Fives, ARC's can customize their armor however they want and Jesse decided to go without the range finder. TCW was originally going to last longer than it did, so we would of had more time with Jesse as an ARC Trooper but Lucas then sold off Lucasfilm to Disney and the rest is history.

It is strange seeing an ARC without the range finder though lol, I think it will make him standout a bit more though.

Thinking of getting Jesse from Collectorzown. They’ve got a 15% off promo going right now. The price they list is higher, but includes everything. So basically it would work out to $280 and change.

As Jesse comes with the same visor option Rex does, I assume its attached in the same way. I'm thinking about buying a Rex helmet to scavenge the range finder off it, to put on Jesse's helmet. I know it won't be accurate but I think he'll look better.
