I'm not a collector of the helmets, but I think I might get commander cody just because how spot on it looks. I don't have the same feeling for rex even though I love him more than cody in the show
The name is probably because of their codes. Cody is a Commander with the code CC-2224. The CC stands for Clone Commander. Rex, on the other hand, is a Captain with the code CT-7567. The CT stands for Clone Trooper.
Again Lego knocked it out of the park with Cody’s helmet! It looks as perfect as it can in Lego in my opinion and the possibilities for customization are endless! Thanks for yet another amazing review!
01:27 you say that but the same was true of previous helmet sets. The scout trooper helmet had less pieces than most other helmets too. Just the way it worked out! Scout trooper helmet- 471 pieces. Boba’s Helmet- 625. Vader’s Helm- 834. Tie pilot- 724. Mando’s Helmet- 584. Dark Trooper- 693. Luke’s- 675. Stormtrooper- 647. Boushh- 670. Rex- 854. Cody- 766. A lot of variety.
2:30 I think it has something to do with their designations, since the CC in CC-2224 denotes him specifically as "Clone Commander" Cody. Meanwhile CT-7567 would denote Rex as "Clone Trooper" Rex, even though he'd been promoted to Captain. Edit: what I don't understand is why the included name plaque doesn't match the box on Cody's
In the Grand Army of The Republic, both clone soldiers and naturally conceived personnel (namely Jedi) could hold the rank of commander while captain positions were only held by clones, thus the distinction. Ahsoka also held the rank of commander during the clone wars.
The name "Clone Commander Cody" might be in reference to his number: CC-2224, Where the "CC" stands for clone commander. In comparison, Rex's number is CT-7567, with CT for clone trooper.
That ball joint socket piece in light grey could also have been better suited in orange in the new Bionicle Tahu gift with purchase. However in relation to the gift with purchase, Lego designers gave away that the company has tried to mold the ball joint pieces in other colors than grey, but that these attempted recolors failed the durability tests for play. Though they have tried, the ball joint parts seem to not hold up to the Lego standards for play when molded in other colors sadly (I imagine they have tried hard in their labs to make it work)
I wish they would have thrown in some extra white pieces so that you could turn cody into a Plain phase 1 clone and remove the visor as an option (since they could have thrown in more piece's compared to the rex one)
lego fr knocked it out of the park with these 2. i prefer cody (and i’ve always thought the phase 1 helmet had to long of that mouth section) but yeah i’m very pleased with what they did here. thanks for the sick and early review
While I’d prefer a larger mouth on him I don’t think it would quite be possible without messing up the rest of the face. All in all Cody’s my favourite of the new 3 helmets and the way it captured his animated look is really impressive. I love how we’re able to get cheap-ish 18+ sets through the helmets and I’m looking forward to more in the future
These two should have come with enough pieces to make both versions, ironic that Cody gets his P1 helmet when he debuted into the SW series with his P2 helmet (first Clone Wars show).
I can’t wait to one day collect these helmets. I was wondering what your thoughts are as Star Wars collector, what you recommend collecting/invest in to grow collection based on prices vs. overall enjoyment to build or keep boxed, from small sets to ultimate collection series.
According to the LEGO Designers for the Tahu and Takua promo set, the Mixel joint pieces can really only ever be light gray and dark gray, specifically the sockets. They have experimented with other colors, and it just does not meet the quality standards, otherwise they would be recoloring these pieces left and right. Knockoff brands do have Mixel joint pieces in other colors, but of course as you can guess, the quality is not nearly as high as LEGO's standard. It is a reasonable trade off outside of just going with a standard stud connection, which may not have been sturdy enough for that antenna, even for something intended to just be a display piece.
I'm getting both, but Cody, I think, still looks the best. Maybe I'm biased because phase I armour is more nostalgic to me, but it does feel more "original" since the Rex helmet borrowes a lot from the Stormtrooper helmet in the botten part. Other than that; great review David, and I'm looking forward to seeing the result of your Geonosis MOC!
Fun fact about why it says "Clone Commander Cody" but not "Clone Captain Rex". The box says "Clone Commander" because Jedi can be Commanders as well. However, Jedi cannot be Captains. So basically in universe, they say "Clone Commander" because they have to specify what "kind" of Commander it is, however they don't have to specify what kind of Captains there are, so Captains don't get the "Clone" prefix.
I don’t go for the helmet busts, but the clone helmets do look good. Is it just me? but I don’t like that this got a review more than a month before it’s release. I could understand two weeks, but it releases in March. And it’s still January. Am I alone in this?
I don't understand why so many people are making a big deal about having a phase 1 and phase 2 helmet. Chances are that these may be the only clone helmets for a while and they wanted to present a variety and get a helmet for each phase? Why is that so hard to grasp?
I was always disappointed that they were doing it phase 1 but damn it freakin looks good. I thought Rex would be Bette but no I guess expect the unexpected, speaking of Lego Star Wars helmets, my mandolorian one just arrived!
Both helmets look fantastic! Only thing is the ball joint parts on the range finder, but that’s less an issue with this set and more so Lego’s refusal to recolor those parts so what ya gonna do 🤷♂️
Possible reason for the name difference: Since we have seen Rex at the end of Season 7 and Season 1 of TBB, we understood where he was and he technically never served under the empire. Since we have seen Cody as an Imperial Commander, they possibly named it so since he replaced all the orange markings with grey to fit the new uniform.
Phase 1 and phase 2 mixing was definitely not the right choice… commander Cody is seen more in phase 2 in SW universe and just looks better than phase 1
Brilliant review. Just also making you aware that I got a scam message saying it was from you and I’d won the giveaway, when you were not giving anything away. Just wanted to make you aware
I've avoided al lego busts, the theme just doesn't do it for me. Even as a big clone wars fan this still doesn't convince me as I like more accurate lifesize helmet like hasbro black series helmets.
Just a heads up, Amazon has also posted Cody's Helmet for Pre-Order! amzn.to/3joq1Mk
Never thought i would want this more than the captain rex one. Then i saw the leaks and hooo boy it looks so good
I think the mouth is too small
Likewise, the Captain Rex is ugly in my opinion lmao
Captain Rex's character means more to me so even if Cody looks better I'm still getting the other one lol
The mouths don’t look great but it is a very hard shape to recreate on this scale. I think that they did even better than I expected.
It's the clone wars nostalgia
I'm not a collector of the helmets, but I think I might get commander cody just because how spot on it looks. I don't have the same feeling for rex even though I love him more than cody in the show

These are the best helmets released yet
Couldn’t agree more, clone wars age is the best
01:27 you say that but the same was true of previous helmet sets. The scout trooper helmet had less pieces than most other helmets too. Just the way it worked out!
Scout trooper helmet- 471 pieces.
Boba’s Helmet- 625.

Dark Trooper- 693.
Luke’s- 675.

A lot of variety.

Gotta love the phase 1 helmets, so much closer to the Jango look he wanted on his clones
This is awesome! The mouthpiece isn’t quite as wonky as Rex’s but its still a bit small.
yeah I think that issue is worse in Rex
this is much better
If I could only buy one, Cody. It looks amazing.
Oh man! I think I might like Commander Cody's helmet a little more than Rex's. Fewer stickers is a pro for me.

Just pre ordered Cody and Rex helmets, I’m so hyped to build them 🤩
@@StudSnob Someone's jealous.
2:47 it's because there where non clone captains such as captain tarkin while the rank of commander where reserved for clones snd jedi padawans
If my mind serves me right Captain Rex avoided the order 66 and Cody became part of it! Thats why its not "Clone Captain Rex"! :)

They dropped the ball on that big time
lego fr knocked it out of the park with these 2. i prefer cody (and i’ve always thought the phase 1 helmet had to long of that mouth section) but yeah i’m very pleased with what they did here. thanks for the sick and early review
for clone commander vs captain: padawans had the commander title so its to distinguish between padawans and clones
I wish these things came with the figure that the helmet is representing. Would give me more incentive to purchase since I like minifigures most
They did a great job getting the shape perfect for this helmet. Better than any others.
While I’d prefer a larger mouth on him I don’t think it would quite be possible without messing up the rest of the face. All in all Cody’s my favourite of the new 3 helmets and the way it captured his animated look is really impressive. I love how we’re able to get cheap-ish 18+ sets through the helmets and I’m looking forward to more in the future
top 3 lego star wars helmet, no doubt!
These two should have come with enough pieces to make both versions, ironic that Cody gets his P1 helmet when he debuted into the SW series with his P2 helmet (first Clone Wars show).
I can’t wait to one day collect these helmets. I was wondering what your thoughts are as Star Wars collector, what you recommend collecting/invest in to grow collection based on prices vs. overall enjoyment to build or keep boxed, from small sets to ultimate collection series.
I will definitely grab Cody and Rex I just can't get that chipmunk look out of my head.
I think in Star Wars commanders were called clone commanders instead of just commander
Very cool helmet! Looks really good! Great review too!
Probably the better one of the 2 sets

It's Baker Mayfield with a lego review
Cody one is spot on the mouth of Rex is too messed up
When the next helmet drops, could we see all the helmets side by side in the review
If you don't want to keep staring at the box skip to 2:58
Commander Cody is my favorite star wars character so im deffinitely picking this one up
I totally get why they based it off the stylized version of the show, but personally I wish it was a he and realistic version.
Think Cody is more famous for being referred to as Clone Commander
I'm getting both, but Cody, I think, still looks the best. Maybe I'm biased because phase I armour is more nostalgic to me, but it does feel more "original" since the Rex helmet borrowes a lot from the Stormtrooper helmet in the botten part. Other than that; great review David, and I'm looking forward to seeing the result of your Geonosis MOC!
I think they might have included clone in his title because his official rank was Clone Marshal Commander Cody?
I liked it tell I saw that side thing up close
are there thumb tabs on these new boxes? I think that's unusual for a collector set.
Brix you’re always so lucky for getting such untouched, undamaged Lego boxes lmao
Preordered mine along with the new at-te!
Did you recieve the boushh helmet from Lego as well?
Pretty sure uploaded by tomorrow
Fun fact about why it says "Clone Commander Cody" but not "Clone Captain Rex". The box says "Clone Commander" because Jedi can be Commanders as well. However, Jedi cannot be Captains. So basically in universe, they say "Clone Commander" because they have to specify what "kind" of Commander it is, however they don't have to specify what kind of Captains there are, so Captains don't get the "Clone" prefix.
Lego killed it with these. Sure, the mouths are a bit small, but other than that these are 1000% perfect
Finally Clone Wars era lego sets 🔥
The Clone thing might be related to the events leading up to Order 66. Maybe it's too show that Rex is falling out of line with his "programming "
Might get them both and not even build or open them, I have no where to display them but man are the boxes cool as well
Hope someone could make some minor modifications to make the mouth area looks more accurate
Cody is a cc birth number where as rex is ct 7567 cc being clone commander
David, please consider umbra and utapau for Mocs after geonosis is done
Supposedly one of the other Lego helmets is supposed to be Princess Leia boushh helmet from the return of the Jedi
Because he is the clone commander
Best Lego helemt yet
Could the piece count be an easter-egg for the Order 66 or its just a coincidence?
day one purchase same with Rex 😍
The MANDALORIAN Helmet Looks AREOLITE when u put it next to the CODY & REX HELMET, DAVID HALL from SOLID BRIX STUDIOS! ;):)
3:00 day 12 of petitioning for the use of "are" instead of "is" when talking about plurals
I don’t go for the helmet busts, but the clone helmets do look good.
Is it just me? but I don’t like that this got a review more than a month before it’s release. I could understand two weeks, but it releases in March. And it’s still January. Am I alone in this?

I was always disappointed that they were doing it phase 1 but damn it freakin looks good. I thought Rex would be Bette but no I guess expect the unexpected, speaking of Lego Star Wars helmets, my mandolorian one just arrived!
I love p1 clone helmet!
Nice video. Cool set
Nice set
Both helmets look fantastic! Only thing is the ball joint parts on the range finder, but that’s less an issue with this set and more so Lego’s refusal to recolor those parts so what ya gonna do 🤷♂️
Still can't decide which I like better between Rex and Cody, I think I'm leaning slightly towards Cody because of Rex's mouthpiece area
I dont mind the clone commander cody name on the box cuz on the printed plaque just says commander cody
Also, maybe lego got confused cuz commander cody is the clone marshal commander of the whole grand army which means he is the highest ranking clone
The “Clone” wording thing may all go down to the designer and the way they wanted to word it as I’m sure there both designed by different designers.
I've always preffered Phase 1 over Phase 2, so, sorry Rex, but I'm choosing Cody if I can only get to buy one
Possible reason for the name difference: Since we have seen Rex at the end of Season 7 and Season 1 of TBB, we understood where he was and he technically never served under the empire. Since we have seen Cody as an Imperial Commander, they possibly named it so since he replaced all the orange markings with grey to fit the new uniform.
Love it but I wish it were bigger
I think this helmet is more accurate then the Rex helmet is
and LEGO still refuses to recolor that ball joint piece…
the front mouth part is a turn off for sure, it doesnt stick out far enough
Solid video, personally I think Cody has a better build. Rex mouthpiece needs a lot of improvement
INDEED, David Hall from Solid Brix Studios! ;) :)
What's up with the Geinosis moc. Been waiting for an update 😁
Cody Phase 2 helmet is more intricate and more interesting, lego should've come out with two phase 2s
Great review. Will you bring geonosis to Brickfair VA Fredericksburg and Chantilly or just Fredericksburg?
How did you get that clone trooper commander Cody helmet when it’s not released yet
Wow they messed up the black booklets that made the 18 plus sets look even better.
How sad but can’t say I’m surprised smh :,)
I think this is an awesome set either way, but is it just me that thinks Cody's armour is closer to yellow than orange in Clone Wars?
I will get this set
👍👍
James 😁
Phase 1 and phase 2 mixing was definitely not the right choice… commander Cody is seen more in phase 2 in SW universe and just looks better than phase 1
Brilliant review. Just also making you aware that I got a scam message saying it was from you and I’d won the giveaway, when you were not giving anything away. Just wanted to make you aware
Отличный шлем в коллекцию!
I've avoided al lego busts, the theme just doesn't do it for me. Even as a big clone wars fan this still doesn't convince me as I like more accurate lifesize helmet like hasbro black series helmets.
yoo first viewer. are you going to do a review on leia bouschh
It’ll be up in a day or two
Clone Commander Cody cause he is commanding clones? Captain Rex cause he is not captaining clones? Idk
Im sold
So the same actor has 3 helmets now to his name?
The mouth on the rex helmet looks too small
POINT RAAAAIN!
never really liked cody ever since he shot obiwan off the lizard horse thing
Geonosis when?
Only thing those helmet need is a minifigure to dispay with them!
