Title: Sideshow Collectibles 12" Commander Bly
Post by: Phatty on September 22, 2011, 06:36:17 PM: I got this bad boy in the mail the other day, and am every bit as pleased as the rest of the Commanders I've received. Like the rest, Commander Bly comes with his Phase I and Phase II helmets, as well as his human head. In addition, again as per the norm, he comes with a wide variety of hands, feet, and weapons. I was lucky enough to get the Exclusive version, which comes with an exclusive base that I think really sets these guys apart from the rest. Without further adieu, I present to you all, Clone Commander Bly...

CC-5052 clone marshal commander Bly 327th Star Corps

"Get the order and execute it. Let the generals sort out the rest."
?CC-5052

Clone commander 5052, also known as Bly, was the leader of the Star Corps of clone troopers assigned to Jedi General Aayla Secura. He served with her on the exotic world of Felucia when he received Order 66. The executive command, originating from the Supreme Chancellor on Coruscant, identified Secura as a traitorous enemy of the state. Demonstrating his unerring loyalty to the Republic, Bly and his troopers raised their rifles and opened fire on their commanding officer, coldly killing the unsuspecting Jedi.
Bly was one of the first generation of clone commanders to be trained by the ARC trooper Alpha. The ARC troopers were a specially bred type of clone, more independent and with less docility tampering than the standard trooper of the line. Alpha’s training program emphasized independence and outside –the-manual thinking.

Post by: Tamer on April 09, 2012, 06:20:41 AM: Fiala it is just fantastic to see you back! I was wondering what my Austrain Friend was up to. Your new Bly looks spectacular.

I can really see why some folks sell of their Hasbro Collections and go Sideshow all the way. The detail is amazing. Thanks for sharing your review Christoph. On the front page.
