Hot Toys - Star Wars: The Clone Wars - 1/6th scale Captain Rex Collectible Figure

[DarkChocobi]

Phase 2 clones alone guaranteed the inevitable destruction to our wallets, and folks here still have the audacity to incite the idea of more phase 1 variants (which Hot Toys have already gradually initiated - phase 1 shiny, phase 1 Fox). This is pure madness!

@Pose Mastery Though I've already watched it, plenty of people haven't, delete the photo for now.

And probably, the current Rex is good enough.

Wait I wanted to see the photo, put it up spoiler-tagged.

WARNING: Don't look until you've seen Ahsoka Ep5

Spoiler

Do you think HT will make him? Like we got the new live action 501st

 

[momaw]

There was also the Phase 1 Rex. More likely they release that imo

 

[Gipetto0812]

Spoiler

I’d say current phase 2 Rex is good enough. I’d be more interested in Phase 1 now that we have a live action look at him

I'd be surprised if so only because it is currently available and I'm not sure what they would add.

Man, there was a lot in last night's episode.

I could see them do a new helmet, make the visor like the live action, and give the armor more range of motion like they are doing with the 501st legion clone from Kenobi.

HT likes their flashback sequence characters, reusing parts from previously released figures, so far their track record:

Deathwatch Mandalorian (The Mandalorian)
501st Legion clone trooper (Kenobi)
KX Enforcer (Book of Boba Fett)

Spoiler

[The Kenibi trooper is all new parts to match the new costumes used in the show (also used in Andor and Mandalorian season 3)



The Ahsoka troopers seem to have differences from previous live action Disney clones such as the shoulder pads, so may new partially or entirely new tooling if HT do any. If they invest in such tooling for Rex they may make more clones from the show (regs and 501st in phase 1 and 2, 332nd phase 2 and of course phase 1 rex)to maximise return on investment./SPOILER]

Spoiler

multiple differences to the point of needing entirely new tooling for everything despite looking similar

The pauldron is at least now canon.

HT hasn’t done the obvious with their new 501st tooling, like there were the live action Coruscant Guards from Kenobi that didn’t get a figure. I hope they at least make one version of Rex from Ahsoka.

 

[Dave_W]

I honestly don't think HT will go that deep into this show. Ahsoka, Baylan, Shin, Thrawn and Ezra. They haven't done the jetpack troopers from Mando S3 like we thought they would and I think their window has closed. HT has moved on.

That was the first thing I said to my wife after the episode ended.

They might have if there weren’t a lot of trooper figures sitting around in warehouses.

Even the OG 501st and CG took a long time to sell out. And Rex is still around. Only ones selling out are newer production figures with smaller runs.

There’s definitely been a draw down in terms of Clones being produced which is good. Best to give some space instead of churning out releases endlessly which is the mistake Sideshow made.

Probably won’t see Clones ramp up again till the ROTS anniversary. So I wouldn’t really expect every variant from every new appearance being made. Which is for the best in the long run.

Still hoping for a Phase 1 Rex though.

Spoiler

Funnily enough, Rex has his upper arm armor on the wrong way. The indentation should be on the back and the smooth part on the front. It looks like the left and right pieces got mixed up at some point, and they just rotated them so the blue stripe lined up with the rest of the armor on his arm.

took them nearly 7 years to release that ANH sand trooper sergeant. So, nothing is virtually off the book at this point.

However, the only one fig remains almost impossible to see light is Baze Malbus from RO, and that I'm sure.

Phase 1 Rex

 

[DarkChocobi]

Still hoping for a Phase 1 Rex though.

Phase 1 indeed is a nice addition, but I prefer the 212th battalion to be made though. More 501st at this point seem to be kinda overwhelming.

Agreed, we definitely need the 212th.

Might not happen till ROTS 20th at this rate, but I know we’ll get them eventually.

Give me a 212th Deluxe with a destroyed Crab Droid base.
