The soft kama and sculpt designed allow for the legs to move in a good range, but again, the lack of ball-jointed hips is pretty lame. These shortcuts do impact the overall availability of posing options, and that’s a bummer.
STAR WARS BLACK SERIES CAPTAIN REX FULL
Rex also only has swivel hips, when many clones and troopers benefit from the full ball-jointed treatment. The waist is a simple swivel, while many clones in the past had the ball-jointed torso. The figure is super-articulated, but is missing some movement in a few areas. Despite there being some available options for bodies from previous clone figures, Hasbro went in this direction, and the result is mixed. The sculpt is mostly new or retooled, and along with the helmet, essentially make this one of the very few new figures in the Black Series Phase II line. The figure looks great, overall, but there’s a lot to take in, and not all of it is good. The Hasbro effort was so confusing during this period in time, but I knew that one figure I was looking forward to was this one.
I had already owned the 5POA version from the strange and upsetting Darth Vader line look. At the time of release, I still hadn’t watched The Clone Wars, but I loved the Phase II design for Captain Rex. After all, my internationally renowned 501st focus collection demanded this figure be included. I believe he sent me this figure, which was the one that I was looking most forward to. I stopped making regular toy runs looking for figures, and I pretty much have Chris to thank for sending me figures in the mail to help me with my completism - or at least my evolving definition of it. How does it hold up 3 years later?Īlong with many collectors, my passion for the hobby waned during the Black Series run. It wasn’t the home run that we might have hoped, and the community seemed split over the release. It was a long, strange trip for Captain Rex, but after a bunch of fits and starts, Hasbro finally brought a realistically-styled super-articulated version of the character to market.
