1/6 Hot Toys - TMS 023 - The Clone Wars: 501st Battalion Clone Trooper (DELUXE VERSION)

[TurdFurgusonsHat]

With how hot these are selling, and how well Rex and Cody have done, do we think there will be more named Clones made by Hot Toys? Fives, Echo, Jesse, Kix, Hardcase...they'd all go with the 501st figures that are selling out everywhere in just hours. It wouldn't be THAT much RnD for Hot Toys to produce some specific Clones to go with the generic ones. I know anyone's guess is as good as any, but it is within the realm of possibilities that we'll see more of the heroes from the show?

Echo and Fives as ARC troopers only ones who have a shot.

Only reason I'm not buying multiples of these is I'm saving up for those guys. Completing the 501st gang.

212th Attack Battalion Clone Troopers would probably next after the 501st.

I fear HT is now seeing what Sideshow saw a decade ago. Clones will be the new Iron Man. Move over Spidey!

How did that work out for Sideshow?

Would hope HT has more sense.

I feel like Fives the a no brainer, but why do you think he and Echo are the only ones? Jesse was also an arc trooper and got significantly more screen time than Echo. I feel as though Kix did too, even though he was a medic. That's why I felt those four specifically had a shot. They were the most memorable outside of Rex and Cody.

Many years of easy money!

HT releases day glow disco neon china milk gold variants of iron man. They have no sense.

I guess because Echo and Fives were always sort of portrayed as a duo, I think from the beginning of their story all the way until they became ARC troopers together if i am remembering correctly. It also probably doesn't hurt that the existing Sideshow versions of them sell for over $1,000 apiece.

Ended up ordering 4 deluxe instead of 2. RIP

same, two to flank Sith Anakin. The rest will team up with Rex and new TCW Ani and the STAP.

Wait, what happened with Sideshow? I think I heard in the past the Clone figures hurt them, can someone elaborate?

There are people here who know better than me as I didn't buy any of their clones besides Rex. I get the impression that the line did well at first, but Sideshow made too many clones which eventually hurt their sales and turned off fans of Sideshow products who wanted more than just clones.

Awesome. I'm thinking two with Ahsoka and Anakin, two with Rex. I will have to cut off at 4, because lord knows we have a crap ton more iterations on the way.

The kids who grew up with TCW are now earning their own money, so might turn out to be a different story for HT. Case in point, those insane eBay prices.

Jesse's helmet will be enough for me to put over a stick in front of Ashoka.

Hmm, would've preferred a cradle stand than dynamic. I won't be using the jetpack with this clone (wrong armor deco for a jet trooper even for P1).

Just doesn't look right. Did they use jetpacks in Umbara?

They used jetpacks in the siege of Mandalore which these are based on.

Why does helmet seem small very slightly? Is it only me?

Is there any design difference from the movies (excluding accessories)?

I think (valid for all HT clones) they make side portions of the torso armor more barrel shaped than it should be.

Umbara was such the pinnacle of clone battle, great episodes. Looking forward to those inevitable 212th Battalion Clones though.
