I think I need another one- I am a big fan of the first helmet, where they were the "good guys."

Man...phase 1 helmet on the Shiny looks sooooooo good.

It's actually from the Kotobukiya Clone pvc fig. His pose is so cool and he is almost precisely to scale with HT figures. I do wish we had toe-flexion on a lot of figures.

yeah, Kotobukiya labels them 1:7 but most seem to be 1:6 or very close to it.

I know the "whiskers" around the mouth are the main inaccuracy, but I honestly don't mind. I bet they made a decision that from afar it doesn't show up if they make it too thin. Or mass production of a mistake sent them down a path they couldn't return from. This same discussion is hot in the Clone Pilot forum. I am just glad we have these clones in 1/6th scale. The beauty is that there is just enough dirt and wear on them to look like they have been through something and not pristine.

The frustrating thing is that a decade ago Sideshow managed to get the phase1 helmet correct..... so why HT fail????

yeah, I really don't know--what I do know is that someone somewhere either was told to change it, or had to get approval for producing it, possibly from Lucasfilm themselves. HT might have just sent their designs off and got the thumbs up through an email from Lucasfilm and went to town. I mean color and sculpt inaccuracies are all over the place with so many characters. The people at the production stages of these things are not as eagle-eyed as we are about these things.

You are glad. But you could have been more glad.

this dose of reality hit super hard. I will have to inhale another dose of this white coke to temporarily get rid of the buying remorse.

How’re you liking the figure DC?

superb, I like it way much better than 501st and Coruscant one, the white just looks soooo good.

Glad to hear. 501st is still the favorite for me but there’s no denying there’s something special about the all white armor.

Looks like you’re going to need more shelf space.

All white clones just reminds me of downloading the new trailer on DSL dial up, courtesy of the AOL disk service, for the next 40 min and looking for a blank Zip storage disk to save it on.

I'm quite surprised that the armor is kinda worn out with slightly battle-damaged touches.

Yeah they don’t like to do all clean armor. Too many people complain if there’s even a little speck on it.
