I'd buy one!Ĭollector's Notes: This figure is in major online and brick-and-mortar stores in the USA now. Here's hoping we get the other ones, and if they ever do a tripped-out exclusive boxed set with "wrong" color figures based on popular error action figures of the past, a grassy green redeco could be on deck. This is a perfectly good figure and I'm quite happy that the oft-avoided olive/brown-green deco was the first ranked 6-inch Clone out of Hasbro, mostly because I'm hardly sick of seeing it yet. I would suggest using the rifle as an added support (tripod) unless you are using a small-scale doll stand. It stands fairly well, although after a few days gravity can tip it over. This figure has 24 or so joints, depending on how you feel like counting today. I'm at a point where I'd rather have something that's balls-out incorrect or fabricated than the same old thing for the dozenth time. I would say that the ammo clip has more grey paint than necessary, but given the level of customization or damage any trooper could have it certainly doesn't bother me. The smaller blaster - the DC-15S - looks a bit different depending on which reference you examine. The longer rifle - a DC-15a for those wondering - is closer to the movie reference than before, but could probably use a few more details to get it right. The guns each have some grey on them, while the previous all-white version was unpainted. The armor has shoulder stripes and rank pips on his chest. Welcome to the fun world of licensed products - if you ask me, these color changes are a big part of what makes it fun.Īnyway, so what's new here? Paint. Remember, in the 1990s Lucasfilm told Galoob that Han Solo "always wore black" so the Hoth parka was made as a black micro figure. Despite this, Hasbro continued making the figure in a brighter green color for each new release up until 2012, when they finally gave the brown one a try, despite various official renderings and other licensors continuing to make it in the brownish olive green color. Since the color wasn't plainly visible in the movie not a lot of fans complained, but the 2004 Gentle Giant bust of this armor was this brownish green color. You see, in 2003 Hasbro insisted that the Sergeants were a green color - and they also say that's what Lucasfilm told Hasbro they should be.

What's most exciting about it is that one of the many color arguments in action figures continues, although it seems that the answer is now a bit more consistent. So it's good, a little chunky but that's OK. The sculpt is the same basic white clone trooper that you may have found didn't find in a store near you as part of the orange box line in wave four.
