![]() ![]() I always wondered (but I don’t remember reading it anywhere, so maybe someone can help a fellow nerd out) if Vader made the 501st his own BECAUSE of young Anakin’s relationship with Rex. The 501st would eventually become known as “Vader’s Fist.” I know that the blue paint on his armor implies the 501st Legion. My point is, I don’t dive too far into that kind of minutia (instead, saving it for obscure Jedi/Sith “facts”). All I know is that the Star Wars Black Series Clone Captain Rex looks exactly like I imagined he would, and that’s a good thing. I know I’ve mentioned it before, maybe here or here, but I am not the kind of guy who can tell you the dimensions of the Phase II helmets vs the regular Stormtrooper’s helmets vs Vader’s helmet or Boba Fett‘s helmet, blah blah blah. In turn, this allowed Rex to not comply with Order 66, It was this breeding combined with the framing and death of Rex’s friends that allowed him to find his own inhibitor chip and destroy it. These were clones bred with a lot more independence and cunning than the average clone. ![]() Rex is part of the Kamino clones, designated CT-7567. This had the potential to trigger me, but I quickly realized that I have so many of the standard clone/trooper blaster rifle and heavy rifle, that if I needed to pose him with them, I could just grab those from some unfortunate peon in the Grand Army of the Republic. I saw immediately that we were only getting half the blasters in the standard release as the Hascon Exclusive had in its package. Needless to say (but I’ll say it anyway), when I saw they were releasing him as part of a standard wave, I was ecstatic. Well, that’s a lie, as Steven Wright once said, “Everywhere is within walking distance if you have the time.” I’m a huge fan of the clones, the cartoon Clone Wars and if you haven’t figured it out by now, most anything that can be filed under “Star Wars.” Yet, I was sad because I don’t live within walking distance of the HasCon. I initially saw solicits for the con-exclusive Star Wars Black Series Clone Captain Rex last year and knew I had to own this guy. ![]()
