good soldiers full of orders
all right guys here he is on the shelf here it is the new bad batch captain rex very excited to have
him in the collection he's in that new fancy box with the red sort of haze at the bottom indicating
it is from the bad batch waves let's spin it around on the back there we've got a lovely
artist rendering i'm loving the new the new little cape piece and stuff very nice and we've got
a little writer which states clone com try again clone captain rex served the republic
during the clone wars he viewed military service as an honor and he always completed his mission
awesome alright guys let's break him out of the packaging and take a closer look
so here is captain rex out of the packaging looking absolutely stunning it is such a great
figure there are a few issues with it though i will talk about in a moment but first of all
aesthetically looks very nice especially in the pose i'm currently using and the way i've got him
stanced but like say there are a few little bit of issues that i will get to um i know this figure
is very hard to come by in the united states as this is actually a walmart exclusive action figure
and obviously distribution in america is a little bit different to here in the uk
obviously we don't have walmart so here in the uk this came to our online retailers however stock
was hard to get hold of it wasn't an easy figure to get this time round and this was
even one of the figures that i pre-ordered this is actually one of the last figures i pre-ordered um
well it's the last figure to arrive on pre-order i pre-ordered it a long time ago but the stock
just wasn't there over christmas and it seemed to take forever to arrive even though i saw
some of my friends already had it very weird i know distribution's a thing but yeah oh god
crazy but i'm finally glad to have it and it is a nice upgrade from our previous captain rex which
we will look at today because this is the original captain rex that i got the one that came in the
big blue box was it has con exclusive or something i remember the big blue box uh this one came in
and he came with a load of weapons but um yeah we've got the old one and we've got the new one
so we will do a little bit of side-by-side action as well first of all the figure itself let's look
at the articulation so what i like about this figure first of all is the fact that the helmet
does come off pretty easily it's not like the old one that took forever to come off obviously
meaning that it's not as tight so the face sculpt shouldn't scuff up as much as the other one did
the head is on a ball joint so you can make him look up down left and right all that stuff
there's no pivot in the head though it is stiff so it's just left and right action and up and down
arms lift up the side hinge and also rotate there's double hinged elbows on this one
with rotation at the bicep and hands are on ball joints we do have a way swivel that it is hindered
by a lot of the weapo well of the uh close cloth pieces and the belt and stuff so it is a little
bit hindered legs duly forwards backwards uh there is double hinge knees on this one and the feet are
a rocker and pivot with display holes should you wish to use a display base not that you're going
to need to i've never had never trouble standing this one up so first of all the helmet has been
upgraded on this one he does come with the new visor pieces so they do move independently so
you can move them together like so or you can push that one back up and just have the visor
piece down or vice versa and it does pop off though from time to time which is annoying
so please be careful
that one's warping now as well it's like popped out and it's like staying out now oh i hope not
uh but yeah the design on the helmet's pretty nice got a bit more um scuff than the previous
one and it is a little bit bigger in case you were wondering because i know a lot of people are going
to ask so this is the old figure this is the new helmet and it does fit on obviously perfectly
um a little bit looser than you would probably like but for displaying it's going to be fine
all the clone troopers though i noticed have the same problem especially when they have
something around their neck like this figure and this figure the helmets don't sit flush
so both figures have something around the neck and this one especially because it's got a big
cloth piece when you put the actual helmet on you can still see the bottom of his face
so you have to kind of have him looking down or away on your diorama shots
so that you can't see the bottom of his face now that does annoy me a little bit but i'm
i'm actually going to be taking this shawl off of this figure i like it don't get me wrong but i'm
probably going to use this on a custom elsewhere um so i'm probably going to remove this today so
we will look at what's underneath the figure as well i'm just going to take the helmet off for now
just to make things a little bit easier and we will remove the guns from his hands and
i am quickly going to remove this cape piece as it will come off uh the actual neck piece here
is actually actually quite loose as it is it's only tied on with a little bit a few stitches so
nothing too major and that already is pulling off over his head pretty nice
so yeah i'm just going to quickly go ahead and remove that and see what it looks like without
okay and this is what it looks like underneath without the um the hour pieces without without
without the shawl and he does have slightly different armor pieces to the previous model
as well he's missing his big blue pauldron which irritates me a little bit i'm gonna say
i wish he still had it but yeah it wouldn't have fit underneath the cape and i don't i don't i'm
not sure if he still had that at the time of bad batch i can't quite remember but this this cake
piece is very nice to be used on another thing i'm tempted to put this on calcus this because i
hate the orange jumpsuit version but i like i like carl kessler's character and obviously in the game
you could put different shawls on him i think this one would look very nice uh i might even put it on
his original figure in the blue actually but yeah it looks very cool and it's obviously very nice
and yeah i like that i like the cloth and this is actually very easily removable with just a few
stitches as you see it's already pulled away here at the side so i mean we could very easily take
that hood bit off if we didn't want it but yeah for me for me i don't want this on my captain rex
just because this is going to be my new captain rex going forward the helmet sits better when
you don't have that cake piece underneath and i think this is just a great version of captain rex
and i might use the older one take some of these pieces off and just turn him back into a regular
trooper uh we'll see but yes either way a great new addition to the collection and i hope you guys
agree what are your thoughts on this new figure though let us know in the comments down below
do you think i'm crazy for taking the shawl off i know it's a rarer figure it's harder to come by
should i put the shawl back on him am i am i making am i am i causing sacrilege here

great perfect addition to the line let us know your thoughts in the comments down below and
