I believe he was trained by ARC Trooper Alpha 17 not Jango himself.

oh I thought he WAS Alpha 17, Filoni said they named him rex because too many characters already had names starting with "A", like Anakin and Asohka... Either way, he's still a badass, though I still think Wolffe is better

You are correct LipSmack. Rex is the animated incarnation of Alpha 17.

I'm getting my Rex on Thursday, can't wait to compare him to the phase I version.

Phase II is far superior.

I prefer the phase II helmets to that of the phase I versions so phase II anything clone wise is a hit with me.

Well Rex doesn't exactly have a Phase II helmet. My comment was directed at Rex' helmet only as I like some Clones better with their Phase I bucket (Boil & Waxer) and some with their Phase II one (Wolffe, Fives, Echo).

So excited as well for Phase II of Echo and Fives. I'm a Clone junkie so I obviously have Pase I e&5's which I'll probably just put the Pase I helmets on when the a Phase II's are released and make them all just part of my growing 501st!
Anyways, I've got a question. Watching some reviews and comments about the "kills" slash markings. Seems like most people think that each mark represents a single droid. Personally, I think it signifies battles won and/or survived.
Which do you guys think? Individual kills or battles?

It's the number of battles he's been in, if it were droids killed I'm sure there would literally be hundreds of marks & no room for new ones. lol Now for the nit pick regarding the arc troopers..., there aren't really phase II versions of Echo & Fives, they are in fact more like phase 1.5 as the helmets are neither phase I or phase II..., they have the flared out spike on top of their helmets like the phase I clone trooper helmets plus the nose section of the helmets is more pointy than that of the phase II helmets, I was told another difference but can't remember what it was off hand. I was done buying clones as I felt I had enough but when it was pointed out to me about these really being different & really phase 1.5 well, I don't have any of those so I preordered them. lol

Phase 1.5, phase 2, phase 1, clone cadets or even clone youth brigade Echo and Fives would be an instant buy for me any day, lol!

I like both characters too, I'd like to have bought the phase I versions but I'm limited on space & when I saw the arc trooper figures I swapped my order to them as they were the more appealing for me..., if at some point in the future I do get more space, I'll hopefully find a reasonably priced phase I set & add them to my collection then.

You really need to grab them soon. It seems to me that everyone is trying to clear their stock in anticipation of the Phase II. I recently saw a listing on eBay for the phase I set for $150 NIB!

UPS just delivered my exclusive figure. This is my very first Clone purchase. Is there anything to look out for? Or any part of the armor fragile?

I've got 16 clones & I've never had or found an issue yet, they are pretty good quality & hopefully you'll not have any problems..., none that I can think of anyway.

Just be careful with the rangefinder, everything else is solid.

Wow! 16 clones and no issues. Nice to hear they are solid.
Thanks for the info! I'll be extra careful on that piece.

I've got 29 myself (I've doubled up on some troopers) and the only things that I would say to watch out for would be (and this is for any clone) would be the small, delicate pieces. Like the guy above said Rex's range finder should be kept in 1 position so you don't break it. With others, you just have to watch out for the little antennas on either the shoulders, backs and/or helmets. The backpacks that come with some are actually very sturdy and so are the jet packs.

Watched the Umbara arc on Clone Wars this morning...when that show was firing on all cylinders, it was really great....I miss it.
Looking forward to adding Arc Trooper Fives to display with Rex v2...but until then, this'll do....

Just saw rebelscum a photos of Rex, crazy how different the lighting can make this figure look. Rebelscum pics sometimes look like they have some effect on them. JTA on the left.
