TVC Special Action Figure Set: 501st Legion ARC Troopers

Mine showed up a day early.  A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

^ I see what you did there.

Got my first set. Can't wait for my opener set.

Just cracked this one open, the only thing I'm not super impressed with is all the weapon quality.  The pistols don't fit snugly in the holsters and are bound to get lost, and the larger blasters are so bendy that I'm having a real hard time getting them into their hands and staying there.

The figures are great though.

A few observations.

1) The head attaches with a barbell/double ball-and-socket joint. Makes sense if Hasbro goes to a universal head attachment even if it means one extra piece per figure.

2) Saw some reviews on youtube that Five's helmet gets stuck on his head. While my Five's helmet is a little more snug on Five and Echo, luckily it doesn't get jammed. Echo's and Jesse's helmet fits fine over Echo and Five's head.

3) These guys are noticeably shorter than Commander Wolffe. I wonder if they were inadvertently scaled to Temuera Morrison's actual height instead of the onscreen 6'. Oddly, the head on these three are ever so slightly bigger than Wolffe's.

I'm a big fan of the animated clones getting a real-life treatment. Hope we see more.

I just noticed that Fives is available on EE, with an expected date of Sept. I hadn't heard this was happening, but I preordered him as soon as I saw it as I wasn't able to get this set. Anyone know if that's been announced anywhere? I'm interested to get Jesse as well.

Fives was part of TVC Wave 4 last year.  He is being re-issued to go with the carded TVC Echo, Ahsoka, and Maul that are coming this Summer/Fall.

As of today, there are no plans to release Jesse as a single carded TVC figure.

Ah that makes sense, thanks!
