He'd still look a lot different from a regular clone trooper. Different shoulders, rank on chest, additions to the helmet dome, etc. as well as the paint job being different. May as well just wait for a regular 212th clone trooper.
My Cody has officially been picked up by UPS and is on the way....along with the Rocklove Grogu necklace I got for my wife, who is obsessed with Baby Yoda. Very excited to have Cody on the way, after all this time.
Here's hoping we get a Christmas Miracle and the Beskar Mando and Child make it into Sideshow for the end of the year too. Would be an awesome way to end an otherwise terrible year.
This figure is INCREDIBLE. I have him standing next to my OT Sandtrooper....Cody blows him out of the water. And I love my Sandy
This Star Wars era has a much more intimidating + detailed look to it, the shelf presence is unreal. The look like they're straight out of the movie.
I wasn't going to buy Rex...but having Cody in hand has changed my mind. I am buying EVERY single clone HotToys makes xD I was that nerdy high school kid with a collection of 50+ Hasbro clone action figures. Some things don't change
Cody is complete awesomeness...I cannot wait to pair him up next to Rex! Side note: Gun hands are incredibly tight--getting these pistols in his hands was tough!
It's a real shame about the fat suit though, it's really restrictive on a clone for posing, especially when moving the thighs forward. I'm not sure how easy it would be to remove it. I'm not saying Hot Toys should necessarily ditch the fat suit but they could experiment with the cut to aid poseability. Cutting some of it away from joint areas could make all the difference and give us the movement while maintaining the necessary bulk to stop the armour sliding about too much.
The only other nit pick, which I think others have mentioned, is the fixed right-hand forearm armour. It would be better if there was enough movement to hide the wrist peg a little. I get why it's fixed on the hologram arm but not the regular arm. Other than that it looks incredible and the head sculpt is a knock out.
potatoes212 I noticed your Kotobukiya clone there. I always liked that one. I bet fat suit Cody is jealous of the pose.
