Hey Clint great review! I hope you don't mind my piggy backing on this thread. I did a Youtube review of him today. You can take this down if you don't want it on here.

Not a problem, Chad. This thread is here to celebrate the awesomeness of this figure in all it's glory.
Liked your review. I am now kicking myself because I didn't go to my TRU yesterday. I might make a search this weekend but fear I won't have any luck.

I believe I will front page your vid anyway.

Well thank you sir! Yep you are gonna have to be quick to catch this one. I was so thankful that guy told me the truck was coming. This was as good a find as getting the ARC troopers bp. Give it a try though you may have some luck!

This one's worth looking for, definitely...  I'm checking TRU tomorrow; I'll let you guys know if I find any.  (I'll be sure to snag all that I do see, if they're there, lol...)

Clint, I'm definitely interested in a cast of that alternate helmet.  (Looks almost like a Cylon Raider helmet to me.  Anyone else see that resemblence?)

LOL, now that you mention it, Doc, it kinda does. The mold is working nicely for that one and the casts turn out perfect.

I found the fig over on Toywiz, for $24.99...  (I think somebody else posted about that, here, too, but I'm not quite sure.  Anyhow, here's the link if you're comfortable with paying that.)    http://www.toywiz.com/2011vintagearccommander.html

Clint, will that helmet fit the head on the current Snowtrooper?

I had to ream the inside of the cast for about a min with the dremel but yes, it does fit.
Here are a couple of shots.

Has anyone else had any luck with this fig?  Scored mine today...  (I know they have another truck coming in Thursday, so, if they restock the Vintage figs, I'll see if they have any Fordo's available.  Feel free to PM me, if you want me to take a look.   ;)  )

Yes.  (I hardly ever go to Wal-mart for figs...  They never stock my local one.)
