Sorry but no interest in Phase 1 Fox, such a weird choice when he have Phase 2 Coruscant Guards.

Pretty sure it had something to do with HT getting the license and then SS becoming the distributor. I don't think they would have entered into agreement with each other if SS was a direct competitor.
Not 100% sure on this, but I think it's close.

It's definitely a weird choice and I think most would've preferred Phase 2.
Could be an indication they're only making figures from the TCW movie though.
Oh well makes it an easy pass and money saved, becoming a common occurrence these days.

Sideshow got Hot Toys's foot in the door with the license. And for a while Hot Toys wouldn't make figures Sideshow had already done well though that's in the past.
I don't think the Hot Toys license agreement specifically stipulated cancelling out Sideshow's. Sideshow continued to make figures, and still does if barely.
I think Sideshow just realized there was no point in spending resources manufacturing their own line of figures when Hot Toys is more popular and doing all the work. They could just sit back as the distributor which makes more sense from a business standpoint.

The last two years we've gotten them around 12-1 am EST, not sure if that will change, we'll find out in a few hours.
I hear him say 'Bad Baby, don't squeeze me' but not the other thing.

It was really nice of Hot Toys to pick a Clone Commander who's only logical Clone Trooper pairing right now - AOTC 20th P1 - is the only Clone they didn't make nearly enough of.
HT exists to frustrate fans, I'm convinced of it. That's a feature not a bug, to them.
It’s just so funny that so many people were asking for a Fox figure but they give us the wrong version lol. Can’t make this **** up.

I’m not up on Fox, but would a TCW bucket satisfy, or did his whole look change? They might include both.
No, his whole paint scheme changes including the shade of red. Can’t see them doing completely interchangeable armour.

Phase 2 Fox: Awesome red armor, cool helmet, involved in dramatic political intrigue and one of the best arcs of the series.
Phase 1 Fox: Gets tricked by a bunch of turtle droids, arrests giant purple space Hutt in the movie most people forgot about.

Probably not, which might've factored into the choice.

I agree, while this armor was cool in The Clone Wars movie, the TV series' phase II armor blew this look out of the water completely. The chest armor colourway and all was pretty unique and its a shame if they don't do that version at all.
It's also an odd choice given the Coruscant guards are phase II armor...
