By far, Rex is the strongest of the Clone Commanders we’ve gotten, and I’m really happy that I was able to get a hold of one.īlack Action Figure Tags 00s 80s 90s Aliens All Time Toys A New Hope Autobots Avengers Avengers: Age of Ultron Bandai Batman Batman: The Animated Series Build a Figure Captain America Christmas Reviews Classified Series Clone Trooper Clone Wars Cyclops DC DC Collectibles DC Direct DC Universe Classics Diamond Select Toys Excised Fantastic Four Funko G.I.The one thing that I have toyed with and we'll see how I feel about this, this is probably a spoiler, Carrie Beck, but I gotta give them something. It took its sweet time to get here, but he was certainly worth the wait. Fortunately, Hasbro’s been working to get out re-freshes of some of the harder to find figures, so I was able to get in on a preorder for one of those. But, try and try as I may, I had no luck with that. I couldn’t get the exclusive, so I was definitely down for the mass release…or I would have been if I had been able to find him anywhere. So, as noted, I’m a pretty big fan of Rex. Like with Wolffe, to have Rex properly dual-wield them, you will need to free his left hand’s trigger finger from the other three, though. Rex is packed with his twin blaster pistols, which are the same ones we saw with Wolffe, and are a very sensible choice for Rex, since he was usually seen carrying them. It’s a fun little touch, and I’m glad it was included here. All of the base work is cleanly applied, he’s got some pretty solid weathering on the armored sections (though it gets a little heavy on his helmet and the belt), and he even has all of the tally marks, like his smaller version, no doubt tracking his kill count. Rex’s paint work is one of the best Black Series offerings I’ve gotten. Fortunately, the helmet is very nicely sculpted and stays on tightly once in place, so you never have to take it off if you don’t want to. Like Wolffe, Rex features a removable helmet, which is reasonable enough, though I can’t say that Rex’s animated design has translated all that well to the realistic styling. The articulation is definitely my favorite aspect of the new sculpt, especially the shoulders, which actually slot into the shoulder socket, rather than just pushing upward. As much as I like that old sculpt, I definitely appreciate the changed-up design here, which has sharper detailing, slightly more balanced proportions, and a much more-improved range of motion on the joints. This figure, on the other hand, uses an entirely unique sculpt. All of the prior Black Series Clone Trooper releases I’ve looked at have drawn from the same pool of parts. The figure stands 6 1/4 inches tall and he has 31 points of articulation. This Rex, like his smaller Black Series counterpart, is based on his design from the end of the Clone Wars show, as they approached the Revenge of the Sith aesthetic. Noice.Ĭaptain Rex was initially released as an exclusive to HasCon last year, before seeing a proper release as figure 59 in the main Black Series line-up, hitting stores in the same early 2018 assortment as Island Journey Rey and DJ. Introduced during the second Clone Wars cartoon, Rex has become one of the biggest break-out characters of the entire prequel era, and is, for me, one of that whole shebang’s most redeeming aspects. Amongst them was the focus of today’s review, Clone Captain Rex. Even before breaking that rule so many times over, I had a small few exceptions. When The Black Series launched, I was sticking to a pretty firm “no prequels” rule. He viewed military service as an honor, and he always completed his mission.” “Clone Captain Rex served the Republic during the Clone Wars, often taking orders from Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano.
