I want to get rex really bad but can't pay those after market prices insane! I have Bly and all the other Commanders and have the Bad Batch Rex but that's not the same as the old school banger Rex. Oh plus I have to get Fox. I might just break down and get OG Rex.. Wish they would re-release him.
was one of the few who managed to score a preorder of this guy from BBTS....even when BBTS was canceling preorders, mine still stayed up....Says it's arriving in 3rd quarter, though it already feels like it's 3rd quarter now lol fingers crossed he ships!
I grabbed Rex and Ahsoka at Star Wars Celebration 2019 for $25 each. It was a great find! I also ran into Donald Faison and Bobby Moynihan who were also hunting for Black Series.
Idk if they have moved on from soft goods kamas. Look at the purge troopers from Kenobi. I think when it's an ARC Trooper, due to the detail they just go with plastic.
I'm so happy I have both the Hasbro con exclusive and the photoreal. It really is one of the best figures and still holds up very well compared to many of their other offerings. To touch on the Bad Batch Rex, if you notice they swapped the lower legs. I reversed them, and it looks much better. The only bummer is now the tick marks are reversed.
Just picked him up today. Wasn’t cheap but had to have it. I wanted to look up comparison videos to see which one I got and apparently it’s the red box version. Has the photo real head. Thanks for the chat.
I’ve got about 5 of these Red Box #59 Rex’s mint in box. I remember finding a bunch of them at GameStop and Ollies marked down to something stupid like $5, so I bought a bunch thinking I’d army build some 501s. I have 3 opened on my shelves (helmet on, helmet off, Bad Batch/Clone Wars shelf, etc), a couple mint in a protective case, and like 5 more in storage. Crazy I know considering how much this one became in demand, but eventually it’ll get re-released again and flood the market. Isn’t Rex pipelined for rerelease? Anyway, a classic figure with vintage “we’ll never see this quality paint apps/weathering ever again” details. 😬
Yeah, It’s long overdue for a new updated Captain Rex with the original photo-real head that is the best Temuera likeness ever! Praying that Hasbro finally makes it happen sooner than later!
I got mine as a loose figure for 65$ absolutely worth it. He was in pretty great condition too! I still need to get a couple 501st troopers to back Rex up. Great vid guys!
I'm glad I got Rex when he released. I'm in the UK and hit ebay @ £40 even back then. I don't feel like I paid too much either because he's just pure quality.
...and just think - I probably wouldn't have this figure if my Rebels Hera Syndulla wasn't missing her boot holster - I would never have had a reason to contact Hasbro. And the customer service lady said, "I have a Clone Captain Rex I can send you for your troubles." And sure enough, they sent me the Hascon version free of charge. It is one of my favorite figures and certainly one of my favorite characters. I feel extremely fortunate to have him in my collection. It is indeed a BANGER.
This Rex figure is so good. I have the Bad Batch version, but it just doesn’t compare! This Rex and Fox are the two Black Series figures I’m truly missing from my collection. Even though I’ve been collecting since the line started, I didn’t watch TCW until 2022, so I was never interested in those figures. Since then, I’ve tracked down all the ones I wanted, except for Rex and Fox! Hopefully I can get them one day! Can’t wait to see you guys rip on Farmboy Luke lol. Also loved Nate at the end, lmfao.
The weathering on Rex is next level, even next to the other Clone Commanders, and how often do we get it that the mainline release is head and shoulders better than the convention exclusive?? I am so glad I got him so early on in my collecting days :)) great choice guys!
I happen to have the figure myself. He's such an masterpiece and a banger in the Black Series line-up, and despite the flaws he has, he will still be the best Captain Rex figure in the line ever.
Hello Justin and Nate another banger figure that I don't have. I missed out on the original Captain Rex clone figure but I do own the Bad Batch version. Since I don't have the original Rex I'll have to take your word on how amazing that figure is. It would make sense for Hasbro to rerelease Rex and make some easy money, but the problems of the original's distribution and so many retailers cutting back on black series figures because of back stocks of sequel figures and Rough One's over production. These problems caused Rex to fall into major discounts at Ollie's and 5Below. I missed him and now that Hasbro has different paint applications we may never get this figure available to us again, but I'm hoping. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this figure gentlemen I appreciate it. Take care, Tom Toilet Paper, I can only think of Denngar the only figure I out right refuse to get for my Black Series collection. It's interesting that for awhile his Red and Black box was going for $80 or $90 dollars, and now his Archive is going for $13 to 18 dollars. Oh how this lack luster character has fallen. IMO
To this day this figure is my best in the wild find. I wasn’t lucky as some finding him for $5 at Ross or whatever but I did find him for $30 at a local retro toy store. He’s great. Only downsides are the pinned joints and the chin showing thru the bottom of the helmet. I just got fives and completed all the arc troopers and am now displaying all of them and Rex without their helmets on. First time I’ve displayed Rex that way since I picked him up a couple years ago. They look so good together on shelf.
rex/bly body is a masterpiece. only improvements is to use the 2023 clone versions legs, cause it has better articulations. i hope they do an archive release for fox and rex, the only two commanders i dont have yet
Just started dipping into black series a bit more with transformers my main hobby being slow at the moment and just bought a pre owned captain rex for ninety dollars on ebay , Yeah I know taking my chances with this but I have bought older transformers figures for close to or more before and so far all my ebay purchases have been great so I'm definitely looking forward to this figure .
No it would of been Jango Fett , Darth Vader and Jyn Erso back during rogue one and only picked a few here and there over the years it wasn't until recently that , I been getting a little more into collecting and with my income tax I was able to get Rex , Jesse and Fives and a few others that got me into the hobby a bit more
Toilet paper... Toilet paper... Dengar? What's wrong with the Dengar figure? Sure it's a little bulky which somewhat hinders the articulation but I don't mind at all. He's just gotta stand on my shelf and look good with the other ESB bounty hunters.
Great video boys, Rex is a certified Black Series banger but I can’t justify paying those prices he goes for so my Bad Batch poop troop with a custom pauldron will do! Hopefully he gets a rerelease soon and I also hope we see a P1 version 🫣
A Phase I version would be excellent! I also agree with not paying those astronomical prices. Honestly there's no standardly released Black Series worth paying over $100 for. Thanks for watching, MrCawfee! -Justin
Love this Rex figure. Anytime I do shots of him I can't resist getting upclose shots because he hits so good with the weathering and sculpt. (Thanks for using my photos my Bro's!🙏) I think the soft goods Kama on Rex is the perfect kama for the line. I get that Echo for ex: needed the plastic Kama for all the sculpt on it so it works but would love a return to soft goods version in the line. In comparison to a figure from the same era like let's say....FARM BOY LUKE 😉, Rex is lights years ahead for sure! Great Episode fellas.
What's up, Fiiiiiig! Thanks for checking out the new banger and again, awesome shots! Way better than Farmboy! Have a great rest of your week, my man! -Justin
I missed out and want this guy so badly... do you think it's worth giving in and paying the crazy price or should I hold out in the hope's they ever re-release it? Probably a bad question..
@@OutOfTheBasement it's a good point and I appreciate the advice, I'm just going to hold out in the Hope's they re- release it or maybe a new Rex that is hopefully as good as the red box version 🤞
I love the figure but wish his chin didn't stick out of the bottom of the helmet 😅 I was hoping they would fix it for the Bad Batch version but i think it's just the sculpt of the helmet and the shoulder pads that kind of get in the way of each other or something. It's a great figure though! I hope they do a rerelease so more people can have the chance to get one
Another banger of a video. Couldn’t agree more, Rex is no doubt a banger. It’s unfortunate though because I do not own this figure . Maybe one day. But with his rise in price it os unlikely.
Yes thank you to somebody who directed me to a site that still had availability! Got him and Fox. Rex was the holy Grail figure for me! So glad to have been able to snag one.
@@OutOfTheBasement Interesting... I am intrigued. I call Dengar "Toilet Paper Head" so that was my first thought. I think he's a great figure though, so it was a long shot I suppose. I look forward to seeing which figure it is! 👍🐵
Shame, they don't make um like they used to, rex and bly are my favorite clone figures in the black series, I don't like the new clone figures mostly couse they make them inaccurate to the films and show.
Yeah the newer clones appear to be somewhat based off the animation. I wish they would've stuck with the theatrical look for the new clone sculpt. -Justin
🫡 "what do you normally say" 😂 Rex is awesome. I remember back when he came out I wasn't into BS, I only had Greedo and Boba Fett at the time, but I remember seeing Rex for like $20 on Amazon and I was like "pffff it's Rex I gotta get him." Then that made me wanna get all the Commanders, then all the Bounty Hunters, and then it spiraled. Thanks Rex!
