Title: Clone Wars Maquettes ARC Trooper
Post by: Nicklab on June 9, 2004, 11:08 PM
Has anyone seen a full size image of the ARC Trooper yet?  I saw an image of the ARC Trooper's head in the most recent issue of Previews.

Again, taken from AFX's website:


Red Clonetrooper (http://www.shopafx.com/stwaclwaarct.html)

Pretty cool and with that, I am now buying the whole lot of 'em.  I'm still trying to figure out how I want to display everything and might go for one of the posters to display behind them while they are positioned on one of my tables.  I wonder if these will be previewed at Comic-con??

I've also got those on order, but I really hope they don't see what you wrote about the exclusive!

Updated with shots of the new Gentle Giant Maquette of the ARC Trooper Captain.  Very cool and comes with an extra hand you can attach without a gun but since I broke mine (don't ask), he'll just hold his gun....

Sweet collection you have there Beth.  I see you also received the "error" ARC Trooper with the missing red chin paint.

I didn't even notice that until you pointed it out....I knew there was something about his face that wasn't quite right but I was so upset about the pin breaking off from the rifle hand, I never really thought any more about it. 

I have a high production number so I am assuming there must be more error's than there are correct ones.

The error is going around.  Check out this article (http://thejawa.com/nuke/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=838) with some info from Gentle Giant on the subject.

I think they are lying. I doubt any of them are correct. :'(

Here's a question
Has anyone thought about customizing the Arc Trooper so he is the grey/blue and putting both his guns on and keeping the red one with the gun and hand??
I was looking at mine and really considering it.
What type of paint would i use for it??

I'm not customizing a piece that retail for $80.  I'm not made of money.
