I have to assume that when Hasbro was costing this figure out, they pulled resources from articulation and gear to really pump up the paint. The lack of wrists, knees, and ankles seems odd here. The 2012 Commander Cody had a new body sculpt with awesome rocker joints, a lot of gear, a removable helmet, two jet packs, and, well, less impressive deco. With SCUBA Ahsoka, I could see how reducing the articulation improved her aesthetics, a relatively dainty figure only had so much room to cram a joint before we got cankles. Unfortunately, that cheapo pile of garbage had 14 points of articulation and a removable helmet, while this figure has no removable helmet (which I consider a plus) and only sports 8 points of articulation. It might even be better than a lot of the high-end statues and big figures I've seen, Rex is covered in "kill marks" and dirt, making his 2008 figure look like a cheapo pile of garbage. I know there should be some debate on if his helmet is too big- I'll leave that to you in the comments- but I can't deny the new sculpt is, overall, impressive and the deco is more ornate than just about any clone figure out of Hasbro. (Taken from the figure's cardback.)Ĭommentary: One step forward, two steps back. A seasoned fighter, Rex opens fire with his blaster, destroying one Battle Droid after another in the fight to save the Republic. This tough, free-thinking soldier commands the 501st Legion in many battles against the Droid Army. Includes: 2 pistols, display stand, launcher, projectileīio: During the Clone Wars, Captain Rex is Anakin Skywalker's second-in-command.
