Ohh right! I only remembered the jet troopers at Yerbana
Thanks, this calls for a rewatch!I'm now 50/50 on getting Cody. I'm already deadset on completing the 501st line up. Pretty sure getting Cody will open the 212th can of worms for my wallet.

Yeah, they use them in both battles.

The trooper?s chest still seems a bit chubby. The Sideshow version was a bit slimmer and, lo and behold, I think their last take on the 501st clone trooper was better than this release 
And since Hot Toys was involved in the R&D with Sideshow's clone troopers I wonder how much, if any, of the parts are reuse.
All that said, I've already ordered the deluxe

Kind of hoping they release a CW Mace Windu before, or instead of, the PT version. Really really need those purple 187th Clones. While we're at it Plo Koon, Wolffe and the Wolfpack.

Isn't CW Mace just movie Mace but wrist armour on? They could release 2 figures in 1 with that.

Yes, they are and so are Rex and Cody. The right one is photoshopped.
But maybe I'm wrong and this roundness is accurate to movies.

Exactly! He?s the next most logical Jedi release. It feels like perfect timing for him.

Mace can have 3 variations
- Movie I(Blue saber),II,III
- Clone Wars Tartakovsky (different clothes similar to Anakin TCW)
- Clone Wars TV series with the wrist armour on

I don't think there's any reuse. They only helped Sideshow develop the specialized armored body starting with the armored Obi-Wan.
That's a weird error. It feels like Sideshow's site has been off a bit more than usual lately.

Thanks for the video link. Is it just me or has Hot Toys upped their weathering game. Both this, Ahsoka and OG Mando have some very good fine detail weathering on the armour. More detailed than I've noticed on previous figures.
I'll need to have a look back at some of the figures from a few years ago to see if it's as good.
Anyway this looks great, as does Ahsoka of course.

I was thinking the same with the weathering. I'm likely gonna grab a deluxe set of this and give the 332 helmet that comes with Rex to my SS Deluxe 501'st for two troopers with variations in weathering.
This set really makes their prior offerings feel pretty underwhelming in the 'extra's dept. Really tempted by this one!

Yeah I feel like Ahsoka should have come with a nice base topper with some sticks to put helmets on.
