I was actually able to find the entire wave at my local Walmart, I bought Jessie, the deathwatch mandalorian and the mandalorian supercommando captain, going back for the 332nd this weekend.
I'm quite fond of these in terms of the physique and body proportions. I think it would be BEST if they have two variations out there. A leaner slim and a chunkier body. Especially as someone who really likes the clone wars animation and Japanese anime, I'm more privy to slimmer toned characters. but all body types are welcome, I have a lot of super buff He-Man too haha
One of the best parts of the figure to me is the consistence of the paint on the helmet compared to what we were getting when the 501st ARC Troopers came out a couple years back. Those ARCs had really inconsistent visor paint based on what I've seen from my copies and others online. Some had good paint, while others like my Fives had a visor so bad I stripped the paint and redid it entirely. Meanwhile every copy of these 332nd troopers I've seen in photos and the 8 I have all have absolutely perfect visors. I'm glad they ironed out that issue now, so it shouldn't be a problem with the new Phase 2 next year.
Ah, yet again they neglected to paint the black trim on the helmet that crosses above the visor. Poor 332nd trooper will always be subject to animated/ROTS syndrome.
I just got both the new 501st and the 332nd trooper and they both look amazing, especially together. So happy to finally build up my 501st guys. Now I got to get the 501st arc Bois.
I hope we eventually get captain Vaughn in tvc. But I guess they would need to make a new Cody first since he is literally a recolor of him (it even says so on his model sheet). It wouldn’t be a bad idea to make a new Cody, that way they could also make his imperial color scheme on top of releasing Vaughn. (Hopefully they don’t go the lazy route and forget to give him the maroon on his sun visor, under his helmets visor, and on his helmets chin. (Looking at you lego).
Ima be honest, I have steered away from skinny mold clones, sold my old ones etc. Bought this guy on a whim and yea. I hate it. Those proportions, really hope the alleged new mold happens.
Yup it would be nice if you did a separate video on Hasbro moving away from Realistic Artwork for animated star wars Media. They did it for the lucasfilm 50th Anniversary Clone Wars figures
Yeah, there's chance for your order to get cancelled. My Ashoka deluxe figure with Grogu just got cancelled. Walmart sucks, they don't guarantee their orders.
I really don't like the Kenner figures, I preferred the Hasbro figures they released alongside the runtime of TCW series back in the day. Not sure why, maby its the proportions and accuracy problem the Kenner figures seem to have🤔
this is why hasbro stop looking at animated phase 2 clones still haven't painted brow trim there is a rule for clones and stormtroopers are not allow to paint their black brow on their helmet
Oof, I forgot about that Stormtrooper Han one. lol I dunno, this one still takes the cake for me. Both this and the Han are bad, but this one is bad AND lazy by duplicating the helmet. lol
The card art on this figure is laughably terrible compared to the 501st. Hasbro probably took someone’s fan art from deviantart of some 332nd troopers without permission. Just a theory I have of hasbro being lazy and embarrassing.
