Title: VC 45 Phase 1 AOTC Clone Trooper review
Post by: CloneSniper78 on March 16, 2011, 05:06:46 PM
Hello everyone. I am totally stoked about this new clone trooper I picked up today. The packaging he comes in is very nice. The card art shows the battle in the arena from Ep. II. Attack of the Clones.
The whole figure is a new sculpt and his helmet is removeable. His weapons are also a new sculpt and they come with paint apps. In the pictures shown below I compare the VC Clone to the old Hawkbat and Legacy style clone troopers. I'll just list the articulation and then show you the pics below.
Ball jointed neck
Ball hinged shoulders
Ball hinged elbows
Ball hinged wrists
Ball hinged torso
Ball hinged hips
Ball hinged knees
Ball hinged ankles

The only point where the Legacy style clone has him beat is in the range of motion of the shoulder. But I would rather have the more realistic looking shoulder armor myself.

continued... notice the smaller pockets on the belt. Elbows bend more but the shoulders do not. His knees bend just a little bit more than the Legacy clone.
