I will mention (since it's been brought up across a few videos now) that the weird, green patina on Rex's armor is actually accurate to the character. Given that his armor is actually older (he welded parts of his Phase 1 armor to replace the Phase 2 issue in universe), it's just more beat up and dingier overall. This is more easily noticed in the Clone Wars season 5/6 images of him (the lighting changes of the final season definitely made things look a bit more uniform, so the effect is harder to see there).
I personally like how they chose a more dirty look for rex's armour as its been through the whole clone wars as well as being kit bashed together with his older phase 1
These reviews are just incredible I watch them at least a few times before pulling the trigger on buying one. Have Jesse inbound and saw they are releasing a Hardcase some time soon which I will just have to put next to Jesse and Rex.
Thanks for the review. You're absolutely right about the pauldron. Btw, I prefer your old white background for reviews. Can see the details much clearer (looks so clean too).
Oh it’s not an old background. If you think about it how could I film a white figure on a white background you would see nothing as the whites mix. So for bright figures I use the dark background
I think around 1:40 the blaster is supposed to blend in with the background so the blue colour stand out on Jesse but I could be wrong and gain great video
Mine is scheduled for this coming Tuesday! I'm so excited! The greenish tint on Rex is supposed to be that way. I wondered why Hot Toys did that, so I went back to a few episodes of Clone Wars. And....His armor does have a greenish discoloration! Sidenote: The colored buttons on his left gauntlet are for remote communications.
These reviews are pretty awesome. I've been thinking of getting the 501st legion clone and the Jesse figure and the stormtrooper commander and turning it into a heavy assault stormtrooper (The heavy repeater blaster being his primary and painting his pauldron black with the back pack and ammo pack from Jesse)
Savage Oppress and cyborg Maul (with the long chicken legs) will be so cool to see! Hope they get too them soon! Also, Delta Squad! Pong Krell---as well!
This figure is done so good. The detail is crazy. The weathering/distress is also extremely good. It just makes it look so much better. I do agree though. The brown looks out of place. Coffee or chocolate stain lol. The head sculpt is great too but I agree. I would show it with the bucket on. The stock for the rifle? It doesn’t make sense. And, the biggest complaint though on accessories is hands. They just aren’t delivering as many options anymore. What the heck? Aargh! Over all this is a great figure. It looks fabulous. I don’t remember what you call the shoulder pieces but your recommended suggestions would have been great as options so you can pose properly for shooting poses.
I absolutely can’t wait to get my hands on him I will say my only nickpick with him is that I wish he came with a range finder and and his story reel helmet but this figure definitely sets us up to get Echo and Fives at some point and definitely got my fingers crossed they ain’t too far away
Hi Justin, Will you review the topo studios joker 2.0 set? I think and probably a lot of other people would be interested if it can hold up to the inart joker. Their quality is usually top notch.
Clones from hot toys are always bangers now but yes that pauldron is a burden. I wish it was made out of more flexible material. Being able to pose figures like this is a must and the pauldron just hinders that
Great figure!!! As always, Hot Toys with spectacular quality, and very well cared for details. Fantastic video as always Justin. I'm starting in the world of Hot Toys and I always watch your videos before buying a figure to see your opinions. A greeting from Spain ✋🏻😊.
Can't wait for this guy! I'm not sure if this is showcased in the instructions, but did you know that on the backpack, the cylinder thing under the magnet can be removed? (The one opposite of shower head) It's a grenade!
I understand the amazing quality, design, time and effort put into these figures. But i still cant wrap my head around the 300 euro price tag, thats a whole month of food, hopefully saving a little each month ill get to afford one or two clones sooner than later.
Phase 2 Fives, Phase 1.5 Colt, Echo, Blitz & Havoc when Hot Toys? Arc Troopers just look super cool. Thos with the Bad Batch being made into Hot Toys, I kinda want to see a reg Clone Commando as bulky as the Battlefront 2 are.
Justin! I don't know if you'll see this, but when comparing the Jesse with the Sideshow Echo and Fives, are the DC 17 blaster pistols the same size? I'm working on converting a bunch of spare Sideshow parts into a new Arc trooper on a hot toys body, and I've got pretty much everything except for the blaster pistols, and the old Sideshow ones are pretty hard to come by these days. I was wondering if they were close enough in size to use the Hot Toys blasters with the Sideshow holsters. Thanks for you're time, and as always excellent review!
This is completely and utterly psychotic, but I just ordered Jesse, Rex and a deluxe 501st trooper, so they can pose with my Bo-Katan as if they're taking back Mandalore 🙂
Jesse died on the Venator while rex and Ashoka try and escape it in a Y-wing bomber.(the venator crash’s on a moon) And we know he dies because Ashoka looks over all the troopers that died including Jesse 😢. It was a sad scene.
Hi Justin, I really dig your reviews... I have been collecting for multiple years. While I really love that Hot Toys is delivering these awesome clone variants; I feel they are taking the easy way out. There are lots of characters that are missing and I would love it if you would make a video on those missing characters; figures like Andor... now that we have a series and movie; you think we'd get the main character. Same thing with Baze? I mean geez... in original trilogy we still dont have an imperial Death Star trooper or officer. Where is Bespin Han, AT-AT Driver, Tie Fighter Pilot? What about all the bounty hunters, Bosk, Dengar? While I love Mando... we've gotten 4 variants in as many years. how about Greef Karga or Migs Mayfeld? thanks a bunch
It’s not that he’s not an arc trooper, it’s that arc troopers are also clone troopers. Arc is a division of clone troopers. So calling him clone trooper Jesse is still accurate just not using his highest title. I think hot toys did that for consistency between all the clones.
Man, can’t wait to have him… still waiting on Ashoka, Luke, and clone pilot 🙄🙄🙄… they should stop doing the batch releases and just release everything all at once..
i have a love hate relationship with these videos. I love watching them, and i love the figures, but i feel like I'm being taunted because i have no money.
He is an ARC Trooper, no idea why they refer to him as "Clone Trooper" when every Clone Trooper is a Clone Trooper. Maybe just having "Jesse" is too generic of a name and they can't trademark it.
Hot Toys never misses! Whoever sculpted for this figure deserves one hell of a raise with that head sculpt.
Agreed!
Jesse, we need to cook!!!
Lol
Bruh!
@@WildPepinillo yeah mister rex clankers
And cooked they did

Yep some others have said!
I personally like how they chose a more dirty look for rex's armour as its been through the whole clone wars as well as being kit bashed together with his older phase 1
Fair enough
Since Hot Toys can make Arc Troopers in live action style. Lets hope they can make Clone Commandos in live action style.
Just like Battlefront 2
Yes!
Great as always! Weird that the ammo cartridges on the kama aren’t removable but then they add a removable detonator on the backpack
Yeah odd!
These reviews are just incredible I watch them at least a few times before pulling the trigger on buying one. Have Jesse inbound and saw they are releasing a Hardcase some time soon which I will just have to put next to Jesse and Rex.
Thank you!

@@JustinsCollection You're right. I forgot about your 501st review, but was thinking about Cody (though he was a bit off white and weathered).
Can’t wait to get mine soon too!
Noice!
I love that arc trooper comment
Haha nice
Jesse another awesome trooper 🤘🏽😎
Yes!
Awesome Justin 👌
Thanks!
I think this is the first time I heard Justin curse. That “shitty” caught me off guard 😆
Haha surprise!
1:08 he is no longer a ARC trooper ‘cuz he’s dead
Wow lol
"Hmm My finger point"😂😂
Lol

Thank you! You should do it!
I like that the armor shows weathering and wear, instead of them looking perfect shiny new.
Agreed
Rex has yellowed armor because he's a gen one and it's seen more battles.
I guess
@@JustinsCollection I know it sounds like nonsense. But next to the other clones, he is filthy. I'd imagine he always smells like onion.
Dark bacround is really good for the eyes.Keep it that way.Another cool clone trooper again.
Just for bright figures!
@@JustinsCollection u the man.
Savage Oppress and cyborg Maul (with the long chicken legs) will be so cool to see! Hope they get too them soon!
Also, Delta Squad!
Pong Krell---as well!
So many they could do!

I think he may be their best clone yet even with coffeegate haha
@@JustinsCollection 😂 yes agreed! Even with Coffee Gate lmao
Finally waited 9 years for this video
Damn!
I absolutely can’t wait to get my hands on him I will say my only nickpick with him is that I wish he came with a range finder and and his story reel helmet but this figure definitely sets us up to get Echo and Fives at some point and definitely got my fingers crossed they ain’t too far away
True I would have loved that!
Awesome Jesse figure! Nice review Justin
Thanks!
Justin! Great video. I have to disagree with you on the colour choice on Rex. He is accurate with the clone wars Rex.
Okie dokie
Hi Justin,
Will you review the topo studios joker 2.0 set? I think and probably a lot of other people would be interested if it can hold up to the inart joker. Their quality is usually top notch.
Oooh maybe!
This figure is so AWESOME!!!!! Now we need Fives!!!!!
We do!
Im hyped To get mine! Also kinda off topic but has anyone gotten their plain White clone from Sideshow yet?
I did but I’m wondering why I don’t have Jessie yet now 😂 it shows my clone pilot shipping before Jessie
@@rosssvt_1447 Good To hear. Still missing my plain White clone so im hoping it Will ship soon.
You’ll love him!
Clones from hot toys are always bangers now but yes that pauldron is a burden. I wish it was made out of more flexible material. Being able to pose figures like this is a must and the pauldron just hinders that
Yep it’s the only thing that really bugs me
Great figure!!! As always, Hot Toys with spectacular quality, and very well cared for details. Fantastic video as always Justin. I'm starting in the world of Hot Toys and I always watch your videos before buying a figure to see your opinions. A greeting from Spain ✋🏻😊.
Welcome to the hobby! I hope you enjoy collecting 1/6!
@@JustinsCollection Thank you very much!! 😉👍🏻
I need this in my collection.
Get him!
So, Codys' helmet is not the same mold as a regular clone helmet?
No
@@JustinsCollection sad
Can't wait for this guy! I'm not sure if this is showcased in the instructions, but did you know that on the backpack, the cylinder thing under the magnet can be removed? (The one opposite of shower head)
It's a grenade!
Oh that’s sweet!
Wow am I early, loving these vids Justin!
Awesome!
The still over a year wait looks so good
He is awesome!
Actually, rex’s armor is supposed to be that color because if you look in CW he had a different white than the other clones
Okie dokie
We need more Arc trooper!!!
We do!
I understand the amazing quality, design, time and effort put into these figures. But i still cant wrap my head around the 300 euro price tag, thats a whole month of food, hopefully saving a little each month ill get to afford one or two clones sooner than later.
When you get one you will
Hello brother Justin🤗✨✨✨👊🏾🤓🤓👋
Hey there!
Phase 2 Fives, Phase 1.5 Colt, Echo, Blitz & Havoc when Hot Toys? Arc Troopers just look super cool. Thos with the Bad Batch being made into Hot Toys, I kinda want to see a reg Clone Commando as bulky as the Battlefront 2 are.
We need so many more!
Justin! I don't know if you'll see this, but when comparing the Jesse with the Sideshow Echo and Fives, are the DC 17 blaster pistols the same size?

I was wondering if they were close enough in size to use the Hot Toys blasters with the Sideshow holsters. Thanks for you're time, and as always excellent review!
I compared them in a video ages ago I just cannot remember which one! I think the sideshow ones are a little bigger...
@@JustinsCollection You're the best, Thanks!
Need a Fives and Echo !
Yes!
I think the green tinge is to show that Rex's armor is older.
Could be
I never thought about this. What if Jesse had survived, would he change the republic tattoo to an empire one?
Oh true!
Can't wait for the 501st Arc Trooper Walter
Oh
Great work, Justin
Are you going to get DamToys Resident Evil 2 Claire Redfield Classic Ver. 1 1/6 Scale Figure soon? Anyway, have a good day.
Maybe!
Where are you buying everything
Depends the figure
Incredible!!!!
He is!
Rolling eyes would have been a nice touch just saying HT
Fair
This is maybe a bit of a stretch but I think he’s not an arc trooper because he just demoted rex therefore making him the new commander?
Maybe
Good soldiers follow orders.
Yes!
I really hope they make a 5s echo I would say hevy buuuut he was just a shiny we could get his training uniform
Fair!
let me honest here, for the longest time i thought PrimeVsPrime and Justin's Collection where the same person.
Oh wait what haha
is it my imagination or is the hologram base very similar to Ant Man's Pym particle pieces? Maybe I'm slow on the uptake but they look very similar.
Oh yeah kinda!
I'm sure he was no longer an arc trooper since he got promoted to captain. When captain rex got promoted to commander
Could be!
Still waiting for them to make delta squad from republic commando 🙏🏽
Yes!
Hot toy should make echo and fives arc trooper 😂
Yes!
You should do a clone cosplay made by hot toys
Specifically a hot toys one?
Hi really good live stream the other day
Thank you!
You forgot to mention that his backpack has an extra thermal detonator that slides out of the bottom left 😅
Yeah but if you know it then that’s all that matters!
This is completely and utterly psychotic, but I just ordered Jesse, Rex and a deluxe 501st trooper, so they can pose with my Bo-Katan as if they're taking back Mandalore 🙂
Noice!
Jesse died on the Venator while rex and Ashoka try and escape it in a Y-wing bomber.(the venator crash’s on a moon) And we know he dies because Ashoka looks over all the troopers that died including Jesse 😢. It was a sad scene.
Yep I’ve seen it!
I love your video man I hope i could afford a hot toys figure one day
I'm sure you will!

Yeah I guess
Do you think you will do another updated collection tour?? im excited to see how all the new pieces look on the shelves!
Of course!
What a nerd!!! Hahahhaa
Dude is a total nerd hahahaha
Omg what a nerd hahahaha
Holy u are a nerd hahahaha
I think he was technically a commander because he took over Rex's position
True!
Hello There!
General Kenobi you are a bold one!
Man, can’t wait to have him… still waiting on Ashoka, Luke, and clone pilot 🙄🙄🙄… they should stop doing the batch releases and just release everything all at once..
They can’t unfortunately
i have a love hate relationship with these videos. I love watching them, and i love the figures, but i feel like I'm being taunted because i have no money.
Damn sorry!
@@JustinsCollection still gonna watch 'em!
It’s probably just Disney not giving the permission to call him ARC Trooper Jesse
Maybe!
@@JustinsCollection I say that because the Hasbro Black Series version is Called Clone Commander Jesse
Also the reason it’s supposed to be a stock is because of the IRL weapon that was used as the base used that as a stock
Jesse died from a venator crash the only survivors were maul Ashoka and rex everyone else died
Yeah
Another video! We ballin!
You already know!
He is an ARC Trooper, no idea why they refer to him as "Clone Trooper" when every Clone Trooper is a Clone Trooper. Maybe just having "Jesse" is too generic of a name and they can't trademark it.
Yeah odd!
WHERE’S FIVES!!!!!
In the video lol
@@JustinsCollection 😂😂wrong fives those sideshow bodies are so bad
A reason why he's no longer an ARC Trooper anymore would be......(spoilers).....dead.
Lol
I'm autistic as fuck sometimes I watch this channel just to feel ok
Glad watching my vids helps!
I Wonder why the skin colour is different on Rex…..Rex is very pale compared to others.
Not sure
Because he's dead that's why he's no longer and arc trooper
Dayum
i know why he's no longer an arc trooper!
He's dead 🫡
Lol
Jesse is just another reg
Nah bro
