Rex and lando just arrived. I hope I can get my wife to go to bed early so I can open them up in peace. Here is a huge glass of wine to help you relax...

Got him earlier today but finally got a chance to open him, the reviews and photos don't do him justice.
Besides some of the inaccuracies with the armor and him having a little bit too much green, he is pretty much perfect with perfect articulation. He goes with the 501st obviously, but looks great with the Coruscant Guard as well. My favorite spot with him so far is with Cody though, the blue and orange just bounce off one another.
Bring on the clones Hot Toys.
EDIT: The holsters going all over the place is a bit annoying, hopefully they fix that with Jesse and future commanders/ARC Troopers, any recommendations on double sided tape for that? Or can I get away with any brand. Thought I'd ask before I do it.

I’m not bothered by the green too much, but I don’t really understand that design choice.
I wait till the hubs is at work and its my off day. It is Unboxing Day, NONE SHALL PASS.
My Deathwatch Mando got shunted to another freighter arriving later at the spaceport, i confess to some annoyance. Its cold, let him in!!

Worn out armor, Rex saw a lot of actions and still manage to survie.

Great figure, good value, odd green tint as others have said. I was surprised the pauldron was glued to the armor and the ammo pouch is magnetic. The helmet accessories are interesting and can be shared with the 501st trooper as those earpieces pop out too but take a bit more force. The earpieces also pop out of the Ashoka helmets. I bought a few extra figures for the accessories so one is going to be an experiment in tint removal, I’ll report back if i have any luck.

So has anyone received theirs from TW recently? I ordered second batch and there is something wrong when my local store has him already before me.

That's very interesting! Can you post pics of the whole figure once you remove the green tint?
Mine is 2nd batch from Toys Wonderland. Mine finally shows as having been reveived by the post office after being in Limbo since 10/22.

That's ridiculous! Did you receive an email from them with a tracking number? I'm definitely done ordering from them. I'll just buy them from my local store for now on.
Yeah. Tracking number was sent 10/22. But then about the same time SSC sent out emails saying they received their shipment early, I also received an email from TW saying the second batch had been delayed to 11/15. Odd, isn’t it?

I'm the same. Had a couple of orders with TW and received shipping number with no movement for minimum a week.

I'm not really sure I believe that's the problem. I'm mean the YouTube creators all get their figures quickly. Granted they all order 1st batch. But still, shipping isn't a problem for them.
