A few years ago Id have been happy, but knowing significant improvements were available and not used is disappointing - even if doing so would have left him looking different to the other 3.It stays consistent with the three ranked Troopers already released - although they still look mismatched side by side due to differing shades of white plastic used across the four of them. Far superior to battle droids, clone troopers formed the backbone of the Republic's new military that waged war against the forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Quantity however is not the same as quality and the Clone Trooper is very limited in movement - hence why a new body has been designed for 2020.

The sad part is that this release was preceded by the brand new Clone Trooper body (Kamino Phase 2 Trooper) and will be immediately followed in the Attack of the Clones series with the new updated body on a base Clone Trooper.

Out of the box we have the usual Phase 1 body that has been in circulation since 2015 and cast in white with painted black undersuit.
