Product Information

This roleplay item with premium deco, realistic detail, and series-inspired design is a great addition to any Star Wars fan’s collection. The legs are a little better on the posing front, but are still held back a little by the armour shape around the hips.

Due to the angles used for the box, there is a significant amount of tape in use which does look unsightly although they have avoided use on the front and the art panel. This may prove problematic in the future if all Exclusives are numbered in collectors being able to secure all the figures in a run and to then display the artwork montage if they wish. Like all Galaxy Collection releases, the art panels will line up with the next figure to be released from the movie to create a larger montage.

As the image only uses the accent colour and then a grey scale finish, it is difficult to differentiate this Lieutenant to any other Phase 1 Clone. The Clone Trooper Lieutenant has 18 points of articulation - two more than a normal Black Series release. The figure sits in an inner tray as normal, but now the outer window is part of this inner piece and is not attached to the box. This new design moved away from a fully uniform look for the series and introduced accent colours for each movie or show within the Star Wars Universe.

Both weapons do the job, but we have seen from other releases that adding some paint apps in terms of gun metal colours or picking out details like the scope does help the weapon. The blue is applied onto the armour and within the blue applications are scratches and wear to signify damage. The coloured rank officers, as seen fleetingly in Attack of the Clones as the army left Kamino, are now complete with Green Sergeant, Red Captain, Yellow Commander and now Blue Lieutenant.The sad part is that this release was preceded by the brand new Clone Trooper body (Kamino Phase 2 Trooper) and will be immediately followed in the Attack of the Clones series with the new updated body on a base Clone Trooper. Considering this is a re-release of a 5-year old figure with a splash of blue - some additional effort in the blasters would have been appreciated. What is frustrating is that an updated elbow joint is available - as used on Captain Rex - but has not been used. Far superior to battle droids, clone troopers formed the backbone of the Republic's new military that waged war against the forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Quantity however is not the same as quality and the Clone Trooper is very limited in movement - hence why a new body has been designed for 2020.
