Seriously Lucasfilm wanted it to be NOT accurate? as with the Stormtrooper helmet?

As I stated before, look at the promo photo, the screenshot from the film utilized for the background, the first Utapau clone behind Sideshow's prototype. His bucket is essentially identical to that of the prototype. So what's to say this isn't a unique helmet sculpt for the Utapau trooper? If that were the case then all you whining know-it-alls would be.... wrong? The horror!:horror
 
It means that what we get is what LFL says we get and that even if SSC sent them a screen accurate sculpt they might say to change it to be less accurate.

And as has been shown multiple times, from multiple angles, the two are not the same. There's no such thing as 'essentially' identical. Things are either identical, or they aren't. These two helmets aren't.

And if it were the case that just this one helmet out of all the various legions were somehow different from all the other identical CG helmets, that would be truly amazing. And you would be right. So what? You like cookies? We'll send you a whole box.
 
I think the main draw for getting the EX base will be when you get many different troopers from different legions and display them all together with their bases.

True, but being as I'm not wanting to go Clone crazy its not a winner for me. But, still glad others are happy with it... that's all that matters.
 
Hey guys, sorry to add fuel to this fire, but I'm going to have to add my name to the list of people disappointed by this figure. I'm not an anal retentive fanboy or a whining know-it-all, or whatever other names are being flung around this thread, I just happened to notice that something was really off about this figure. At first I couldn't even put my finger on it, I just knew something was wrong, and for someone like me, who is not a hyper accuracy nazi, to notice is bad news for this figure.

I even showed a friend of mine the pics, he doesn't collect figures, and he noticed right away something was wrong. Like me, he couldn't pin-point it at first, but just new it "didn't look right."

I've since figured out, like others, that the bottom half of the helmet is all kinds of wrong. Considering how Sideshow seemed to knock it out of the park with Vader and the Stormtrooper, this really bummed me out, I was so looking forward to Sideshow doing clones.

To make matters worse Sideshow decided to cheap out with the undersuit. The boots are a problem for me aswell, I'm not sure if it's been mentioned, but the boots just sort of end at the ankle strap, making look as if they're wearing clone slippers. The boot should go up into the leg armor should they not?

This is something I really didn't want to say but, aside from weapons, it looks as if Medicom did a much better job with the clones.

Anyway, that's enough belly-aching.
 
Sideshow's paint and weathering on these is also superior to Medicom.

Holy crap! You mean we actually agree on something?!:p If it turns out as good as the prototype looks, it'll definitely be better than Medicom's weathering. Not by much, but just enough to count!

1) Wrong, I've seen nothing from an actual screenshot of an Utapau trooper. Still waiting for that one.

2) Can I get Little Debbie Brownies instead? Not a big cookie fan.:D

It means STFU and preorder the figure, stat!!!

Precisely!:gun
 
All the clones had the same base helmet.

Have a close look at the following image. Look close and hard at the first film Utapau trooper behind Sideshow's. I hear what you're saying and what everyone else is griping about, but I'm seeing the actual screenshot of the Utapau here, and the helmets look the same:

If someone would like, find this actual scene in the movie, do a capture of it in a higher resolution and let's compare.
