Clone Wars 2010 ARC troopers battle pack
« on: October 09, 2010, 08:56:28 AM »
ARC troopers

Comments:
Advanced Recon Commando (ARC) troopers are highly skilled clone troopers who take on some of the toughest challenges faced by the Republic army. As the most elite members of the clone army, ARC troopers are deployed on highly dangerous missions that require independent thinking. During one mission, ARC troopers team up with Captain Rex's battalion to attack an army of battle droids that have taken control of a strategic city.

the pack includes:
* Captain Rex (with new head sculpt, helmet and sniper rifle)
*ARC trooper commander (with movable rangefinder, new ARC blaster rifle, two ARC blaster pistols and a new gauntlet)
*two ARC troopers (with brand-new phase 1.5 helmets, shoulder pauldrons, kamas and backpacks)

Captain Rex:
Captain Rex is tough, disciplined and always focused on the mission as his top priority. He aims his sharpshooter blaster to clear a path through the droids.
The figure comes with a repainted version of the Commander Bly head sculpt and a series accurate helmet design. The new sniper rifle with movable bipod looks very nice.

articulation:
*ball-jointed neck (helmet is removable)
*ball-hinged shoulders
*ball-hinged elbows
*ball-hinged wrists
*ball-hinged torso
*swivel hips
*ball-hinged knees
*ball hinged ankles

ARC trooper commander:
Like the men under his command, the ARC trooper commander faces even the most threatening situation with unfailing courage.
The figure comes with a new helmet with movable range finder, the new kama from the "Anti-Hailfire Squad battle pack" commander, two of the new ARC blaster pistols, a brand-new ARC blaster rifle, a new shoulder pauldron with ammo pouches and also with a brand-new gauntlet (or arm device).
The figure reminds me of Captain Fordo from the original Clone Wars cartoon.

articulation:
*ball-jointed neck (helmet is not removable)
*swivel range finder
*ball-hinged shoulders
*ball-hinged elbows
*ball-hinged wrists
*ball-hinged torso
*swivel hips
*ball-hinged knees
*ball hinged ankles

ARC troopers
The Advanced Recon Commandos are given specialized trainig that encourages independent thinking and unconventional approaches to problems.
Definitive the highlight of the pack. Both figures come with the new phase 1.5 helmet with movable range finder, new shoulder pauldrons, new backpacks and also with new kamas. Both figures have new forearm sculpts. The red version of the ARC troopers has also a new shin sculpt (armour) and an additional chest armour.

articulation:
*ball-jointed neck (helmet is not removable)
*swivel range finder
*ball-hinged shoulders
*ball-hinged elbows
*swivel wrists
*ball-hinged torso
*swivel hips
*ball-hinged knees
*ball hinged ankles


A great pack and a must-have for every Clone collector. Only the paintwork looks a bit sloppy and could be better.

Really intressting pack, im a clone fan thats probably my reason to buy one, indeed the paint job could be best, all the extras like the backpacks, new rifle etc its by far the most intressting for me.

Cool review man!!!

I just may have to get this set when I find it.  I've pretty much cut out most basic figure collecting, but this set does look nice.

I have purchased this set and a few others from EntertainmentEarth, but they havent arrived yet.
I have so far only managed to buy a Rex figure from this pack from ebay, and I am very pleased with the new head and helmet as well as the sniper rifle. His paint aps are very nice as well.
I really like the look of the other ARC Troopers in this pack and cant wait to have them in hand.
Great review, and nice pics.



Slight comparisons of the ARC Troopers Rex, Mail Away Rex, and a standard original CW Rex.
