I just looked at the rest of my 212th Clones and none of them have a black stripe on their helmet, so I'm ok with these.

Weird.  Pretty much every one I have has that black line above the visor.

I've got a **** ton of these guys from back in the day (2006 Saga-026, 2010 VC38, 2013 Amazon Droid Factory), so maybe that is just tainting my perspective.

I'm hoping the black line was just an error on the prototype. I could probably see picking up a couple packs of these, but I don't want to have to draw a line on them all.

Definitely interested in the white clones though. I always felt the multicolor clone thing was a miss in ROTS, and wanted to see them trending a little closer to Stormtroopers. I like that (at least in the Bad Batch) they all got rid of the color right after Order 66.

I'm not surprised about a phase 2 Clone Troop builder.  Hasbro invested in the new phase 2 Clone Trooper sculpt, so you know that they're going to make some clones!

I had been hoping that Hasbro would go with another Clone unit before revisiting Clones that were in TVC 1.0.  Ones that came to mind were the Wolf Pack, the Kamino Security clones, the 12th Legion (from Jedi Fallen Order) or others.  But Obi-Wan's clone battalion is one of the most visible in the Clone Wars series, so they make sense as a choice.

I like the nod to Waxer as the officer.  But the graphic on his helmet makes him a little too specific.  I might get two of these and that'll be it.  Because I also have quite a few of the Saga Collection 212th Clones.

My bad...I thought it was higher up the helmet.  I still don't mind these too much.
This is the way.

Eh, they're ok. But I have more than enough from previous releases. I'll probably play the waiting game on this set, and if I pick any up it will only be 1-2 sets max.
