Another reason why the weathering would be more apparent with Rex is that his armor is also older than the other clones. When all the others went to phase 2 armor Rex kept his phase 1 and modified it!
I ordered mine in July from Sideshow and just got an email saying that it might ship in December instead of October, hope that is not the case. But after seeing this and other people’s in hand shots of him I am super hyped to get him and have him with my Cody and 501st trooper. Side note, Cody did come with the DC17 blaster pistols that Rex has.
I ordered day one, and got the same email. It just says there’s a chance he can ship in October, but he’ll ship between October and December. The window only increased by a month. It was October-Nov before the emails
@@aqwblue275 Captain Rex was suppose to be my only hot toys, but I finally bought a 501st deluxe. But it was not enough, so I found a brand new hot toys commander cody for about 380 USD on a Canadian website (tax and shipping included) I don't know if it was a good deal, but i'm happy with it. So yeah, i'm pretty exited for Rex also :D
@@canadium1478 that’s a great price for a cody. Rex was my first hot toys figure ever as well. He was the first figure I ever ordered and paid for. Been waiting for him to ship since his announcement. Ironically since then I’ve built up a massive collection and I love every figure I have. So for me rex will be the crown jewel the reason I got into this hobby and most likely the last figure standing if I ever left the hobby.
It is in fact the case. When these figures get released in Hong Kong, Sideshow usually gets them 1-2 months later. So November-December sounds about right.
I bought one for myself and one as a Christmas gift so as long as it arrives before then it’s fine. I have only things I dislike about it are the helmet, pauldron, and the lack of a dc-15a blaster rifle. Someone on Instagram designed realistic version of his helmet and it’s simply better looking. And those poses at the end were so, perfect.
I got mine last week. Overall, it's great, but I have a few gripes. I wish the holsters didn't dangle so loosely, and that the pistols secured into place (rather than just relying on gravity to keep them in the holsters). Also, that shoulder pauldron limits the articulation of his left shoulder and head. Would have been nice if it was made of a slightly pliable material. Finally, the skintone of the headsculpt is a little light (although I suppose he might be palid from wearing a helmet all the time), and his hair colour is a bit too subtle. (And yes, the collapsible stock on his blaster is too loose.)
Got my Captain Rex during the May the 4th event from Sideshow this year! Can’t wait to unbox him and display it next to my other clone troopers! Great video btw as always! 🫡
The dirty rex armour is super nice looking, and accurate to the show too, rewatch the last couple episodes of the clone wars and you'll see it clearly Rex just doesn't wash his armour lol
Yes! Finally! Sorry, I knew I had seen cabinets in videos and have been searching older videos, to finally find it on this one. Would you be able to tell me who makes those cabinets, please?
Hey Ryan! Good livestream last night! Was wondering if that big clone fighting video you mentioned was gonna be around soon, it sounds wicked! Cheers man and happy new year!
As someone who doesn’t collect 1/6 scale figs and watches Jedah’s vids because he’s entertaining, this figure is so so so tempting. I love clone wars and Rex in particular but I don’t have the budget for hot toys. If I had the cash, he would be in my collection pretty quickly
Hey bro, how are you? I have a question - my captain Rex figure that I’ve had got 3 DAYS rangefinder antenna has broken off. Do you have any suggestions besides paying 60 Australian dollars on eBay for a replacement. Is there a type of glue that you can use? Any help would be awesome, thanks for your time.
i want to purchase my first figure…and i’m torn between getting this Rex or something close to this quality..any help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated
I'm surprised you can still get Rex on SS. I stopped collecting HT so I never picked him up, but I've decided im going to get the bad batch so I went and picked up a Rex too
You've done it again.After watching this video,I ordered the figure before it goes wait listed. I'm putting together a trooper display with all different styles from all the Star Wars eras.Thanks for another awesome video.
Ordered mine through sideshow and also got the delay email. I’m thinking of buying a second Rex to keep sealed. Love this figure and great video brother!
Man, this figure is awesome! I really hope he gets released in the states soon. I want mine soooo badly! But some other collectors think he won't arrive until January. But I can only hope he comes soon, right? Great review as always!
I have a Commander Cody coming in soon I pre-ordered Ashoka Tano I already have an Anakin Skywalker and an Obi-Wan Kenobi so I'll have a pretty cool set up
So I guess it's safe to say that you'll be getting Vaughn and Jesse? I briefly considered getting more than one trooper, but settled for one, plus Rex and Ahsoka. I don't think I can justify more than $750 since I haven't even seen Season 7!
Go Braves! I finally decided to order this. Too good to pass up. Won’t really go down the Clone Wars route but might get some of the Commanders/Officers. Do you think they will do say a Wolffe, Fox, Bly etc?
I can not wait to get mine from TW when 2nd batch releases! Dear Lord! That battalion pic looks amazing! I'm definitely going to my local store today and getting at least one 501 Clone Trooper standard releases figure. Unfortunately I missed the deluxe version at my store. The owner only buys a case of each figure and someone bought four of them upon receiving them but at least he now has a case of the standard release 😁
Dont forget to grab light side revenge of the sith anakin and pose him with 501st and Rex for the pre-revenge of the sith scene: battle of yerbana in season 7. ;)
Found your channel only a few days ago, now have 6 hot toys on the way, including a 501st deluxe trooper, you're a bad influence man lol. Love the reviews dude. Edit: This review now makes it 7, this is too good to pass up to go with my 501st trooper, my god.
Hey Jedha that stock used to be like that, its not to go back for the shoulder if you know what i mean... its supposed to be that way, like a real sniper rifle..to stabilize the blaster when its standing on the ground- i think✌😁 Can't wait to get miiiine he's awsome 🤩
The marks on his armor is the successful missions he’s gone on if they were kills or brothers lost he’d be covered from head to toe lol and Cody comes with twin blaster pistols but love your content keep it coming.
Personally don't like the color difference between him and the standard 501st clones. Makes him stand out in a bad way. But this video did not disappoint, still happy I ordered him and cant wait to get him.
There are a few inaccuracies but he still looks amazing, a must have. I hate those dynamic stands though, they need to start including a crotch grabber too.
Have him on pre order. I’d rather the whiter cleaner look on Rex as they did on Cody. Would have looked more uniform with the Hot Toys 501st figure. He looks too green on the white part of his armour. I think they went too far with the weathering. Nonetheless am stoked to be getting him.
I don't think it is figure of the year contender. The head sculpt is phenomenal, and I think that it makes the price almost worth it. I think the armour sculpt looks great too. The paint apps on the arms and shoulders don't really make sense though? Why are there 2 stripes either side of the main stripe? In no media anywhere ever has rex been depicted as such. Also, if you're going to make the helmet look realistic, why does the top half not look anything like a Phase 1 helmet? it looks to be a mix of animated and realistic, which for some reason, really grinds my gears. Like, pick one. And then the paint apps on the pauldron look off too, like, the blue extends away from the raised areas, I think the black should be painted all the way to the raised areas of the pauldron (lol dunno if that makes sense. That makes it sound like I have various problems with the figure. I think on the whole, I like it, but there are just enough problems for me to say, unfortunately, no, it is not figure of the year :( I think that could actually go to the Coruscant guard. It looks utterly phenomenal, and completely ROTS screen accurate.
@@JedhaPatrol yeah also, if people love it, then that's totally fine, as you say, collect what you like! Maybe I'm looking for reasons not to buy him, cos I can't afford that much...😂 But yeah, I'm glad loads of people seem to be stoked by this
Looks great! So excited to get mine (in a decade or two I’m guessing from Sideshow). Hey, are gettin in ToysEra Ronan (Galaxy Wizard) as well? He’s out in HK and I’ve seen only one person on the planet post pic/video so far. Would love to get your take. P.S. You’re gonna LOVE Ebony Maw!
Mine arrived today. I think overall it's a good figure, but then Hot Toys doesn't really do bad ones. Is it a contender for figure of the year? The face sculpt is superb, yes. But the figure itself isn't perfect. My main issue is the total lack of weathering on the black tunic, which is pretty jarring when compared to the armour. If you look at the promo shots (for example, the one of him using the jet pack on the side of the box) the material looks quite a lot dirtier. Equally, there's no weathering on the pouch you can magnetically attach to Rex's chest, but there is on the earlier photographs. Also, I'm not quite sure I understand why Rex's armour is so different in colour from the recently released 501st troopers (I haven't been able to find any examples of this being the case during the show) and it's noticeable, in a bad way, when the figures are placed side by side (which is quite disappointing). While by no means ruining my enjoyment of the figure, these issues do - in my opinion at least - hold Rex back from being a 'great' release
Another reason why the weathering would be more apparent with Rex is that his armor is also older than the other clones. When all the others went to phase 2 armor Rex kept his phase 1 and modified it!
Jedha you’re killing me with that army of clones. I can’t remortgage my house, lol. Looks insanely amazing man.
Dude likes to flex. Shits annoying.
@@prehistoricgentlemanbird9131I smell broke LOL

I really like that they went with a realistic sculpt for the Clone Wars clones and the Bad Batch.

That shot with Rex in the front and the 8 troopers in the back was EPIC! I don't even watch/collect Star Wars, but DAMN! Magnificent.
Thanks :)

Glad you enjoyed it

Rex with the 501st troopers is just freaking insane. It must have cost a fortune getting those.
Definitely...need some more

Your clones are impressive!
I see what you did there

Good choice!
I can't be the only one that NEEDS to see rex in live-action form at least once, right?
Man, this figure is awesome! I really hope he gets released in the states soon. I want mine soooo badly! But some other collectors think he won't arrive until January. But I can only hope he comes soon, right? Great review as always!
Hopefully sooner rather than later
A friend of mine sold his Rex online after thinking the green tint from the weathering was a paint mistake, he's regretted it ever since 💀
Only 8 501st? I thought I was going overboard with 6. I guess maybe I'll have have Kamino up my numbers. LOL
more coming soon
I only wish this came with his phase one helmet too
Question: if I order a 501st this week when will I receive it??
I have a Commander Cody coming in soon I pre-ordered Ashoka Tano I already have an Anakin Skywalker and an Obi-Wan Kenobi so I'll have a pretty cool set up
Im speechless.......man your set ups with Rex and the clones are badass. I dont army build but it is sooo tempting. Great work Jedha!!
Thanks bro. It's dangerous on the wallet for sure
So I guess it's safe to say that you'll be getting Vaughn and Jesse?
I briefly considered getting more than one trooper, but settled for one, plus Rex and Ahsoka. I don't think I can justify more than $750 since I haven't even seen Season 7!
Thanks for the review Jedha, got no email from Sideshow about my Rex being delayed so hoping it will come sooner rather than later!
fingers crossed
It’s not a foldable stock on the blaster, isn’t it supposed to be a bipod?
It's a stock. There's a couple instances where its folded back in The Clone Wars.
it's definitely a stock. not a bipod
Go Braves!
I finally decided to order this. Too good to pass up. Won’t really go down the Clone Wars route but might get some of the Commanders/Officers. Do you think they will do say a Wolffe, Fox, Bly etc?
It’s beautiful, I’ve looked at this for five hours now.
Rex in effect! Can't wait to get this guy. Hands down Hot Toys figure of the year.
definitely a contender
I like your marvel and star wars hot toys collection how do u make them stand up with out their stands
Really strange. My Cody is no where near as white as yours is. The weathering on mine is considerably darker
An animated head on that body wouldn’t work simply because the armor in the animated show is completely different
ordered both Rex and Pre-ordered young Ahsoka today. shame we have to wait till 2025 for Ahsoka to ship.
While i don't collect 1/6 scale figures i DO have plans for a 6 inch Operation Knightfall display.
I'm ready to be enabled.
oooo that sounds great
Thank gid for crazy people, i feel much better now. Thanks
hahaha

Finally picked this guy up from Sideshow. Got him for about $175. shipped with a 35% off code !
What was the code and where did u find it? Thanks!
The Shock Trooper is my favorite
solid choice
Wow. That display is sick!
:)
REX!!!!! Love my Rex! I need some more clone wars figures. Not to mention 501st. I have been enabled.
mission accomplished
Great review. Where did u get that hat from?
Would LOOOOVE to see your entire clone collection.
soon
Dont forget to grab light side revenge of the sith anakin and pose him with 501st and Rex for the pre-revenge of the sith scene: battle of yerbana in season 7. ;)
oh it will be epic

yeah yeah yeah

Wow! What a cool figure. Can't wait for mine to arrive from SSC. I got the dreaded "December" email as well.
Personally don't like the color difference between him and the standard 501st clones. Makes him stand out in a bad way. But this video did not disappoint, still happy I ordered him and cant wait to get him.
fair enough. Thanks for watching :)
Cannot wait for him to lead my three 501st deluxe troopers!
yeahhh!
24:07 is enough to make a grown man cry 🥲
:)
One Rex. My first Hot Toys. Can't wait till it gets sent out.
I’ve been waiting for this review and you sir, did not disappoint! Love it! Hopefully mine will be here before the end of the year.
Thanks very much
I don’t collect hot toys or even star wars but you make all of these figures look amazing and make me want to start collecting them.
wow, thanks
There are a few inaccuracies but he still looks amazing, a must have. I hate those dynamic stands though, they need to start including a crotch grabber too.
I agree, they should come with both
I agree on the stand options
Awesome video as always Jeda. Rex looks so bad ass. Im going to have to order one aswell to go with Ahsoka. Love the videos keep them coming.
Thanks for watching
Great figure, can't wait to order mine soon
must not cave! *thank you for purchases * wait a minute, how the hell did that happen?!
I wish I had the Dosh to army build! Looks brill sir! Cheers for video as always ☺️
Thanks bro
Cody came with the pistols, idk why but he did 🤷🏾♂️
no holsters...odd
Captain rex will be my first hot toys figure hopefully it comes in October!
wow, great choice
Just realised you sound like JK Simmons. Which is a great thing.
:P
I ordered mine in April just waiting on it to ship got an email saying he's been delayed
hopefully not too long
You outdid yourself boss, absolutely stunning poses. Thanks for content like this! Ur the man
My pleasure!
Seriously badass that headsculpt along with cody n dookus easily gotta be top 3 by hottoys
way up there for sure
Im gonna be waiting for mine for some time.
I preordered him with Ahsoka, so I wont get mine until the shop has them both.
But it will be amazing
Yeah... That's sick as shit.
Awesome Jedha and I’M READY TO BE ENABLED! 🤘🏼👊🏼
Let's Gooooo
Broke my Cody helmet antenna, what should I do?
try to track down a helmet for sale, or contact the store you bought it from
Weathering on Rex resembles the sideshow 501st
yup, it does
Flexing that fives I see lol still looking for em however mainly years later
Have him on pre order. I’d rather the whiter cleaner look on Rex as they did on Cody. Would have looked more uniform with the Hot Toys 501st figure. He looks too green on the white part of his armour. I think they went too far with the weathering. Nonetheless am stoked to be getting him.
Tbf Rex has been on many missions, he’s seen a lot of combat.
Some of the reg 501st are clean in between and get dirty on the missions.
I get what you're saying, but the coloring makes him stand out on the display
@@J_NC_B I get that though the same can be said about Cody. His weathering was on point imo.
@@JedhaPatrol maybe some weathered clones are on the cards at Hot Toys as a result. See how he is in person I guess 👍🏻
I ordered mine may 23rd and it’s now January 1st and I’m still waiting
You're still waiting for 4 additional 501st's right? Gotta make that no 8 a 12!
in progress
There’s no way I can army build Hot toys figures,too expensive and I have bills to pay,but for you that’s awesome,more power to you.!!👍😊
thanks very much Gary
