Title: Saga-064 Commander Appo the army builder
Post by: Dressel Rebel on September 1, 2006, 01:57 PM
So basically what we have here is an SA clone #41 501st trooper.  Pop off the head, pop off the pauldron, pop the head back on.

I'll take 20 please.

I remember reading someplace that a few folks were hoping that would be the case when he was revealed at SDCC.  I'm sure glad to see it still looks that way... and especially glad it's not that AT-TE sculpt again.

Yep, take the pauldron off and you get a Comm. Appo. I guess Hasbro thinks all Commanders have pauldrons.  ::)

I was hoping and dreading the same thing. Nice to have this one on one of the two most articulated clone bodies, too bad this is the third try at this figure.

I finally found the Tact Ops Trooper last night at Target.  But then I remember this Appo was coming out soon.  I passed on them last night.  I would just rather have an SA version.  I think they just gave it a pauldron to spice it up a bit and make it different looking that the Tact Ops.  No big deal.

You do know the pauldron is removable, right?

Post by: Darth Broem on September 2, 2006, 01:45 PM
Yeah, I noticed some people at other sites getting upset about the pauldron as well.  I assume it's removeable like all the other pauldrons?  Unless you are a carded collector I don't see what the problem is?  Maybe a Jedi sliced his pauldron off camera or something  ;D

Actually, he is seen wearing that pauldron in a comic book.

...Although I can't seem to find an image of it.

Yeah, but if I buy alot there will be a ton of useless pualdrons.

Maybe you mail them to a customizer that needs them?  Or picth them.  Or give them to the homeless!  Just joking around.  Happy it's Labor Day weekend!

That's like me being upset that I have 30 extra sandtrooper backpacks and pauldrons from converting him into dirty VOTC stormies.

Custom fodder is a wonderful problem to have!

So? If you don't need them just throw 'em away.

Post by: Jesse James on September 2, 2006, 10:51 PM
I'm hoping to get this one in some heavy quantity...  I've been relegated to the figs from a couple K-Mart packs and a lone TE Gunner repaint so this is great for me.  Definitely the army builder of all the repaints that people will clamor for...  I like the pauldron to set it off some and it's something extra, but I think Hasbro was clearly intending this to just be "an excuse" to put the 501st out in a new format and slightly different and a unique character (in theory) that they can X off their list... 

I'll take 30 anyway, if I can find that many.  The way Utie Clones sold though, I just hope this is shipped heavily.
Title: Commander Appo?

Thanks,

hmmm, oh! you mean plo koon and aayla secura from the ROTS Final 12? oh, yeah, they warmed like heck, I know. And after all, its just a clone figure that is crucial in finishing off the recreation of a major scene in ROTS. No, not that big of a deal. It'll warm like HECK!   ::)

gosh! gosh! gosh! gosh! gosh! gosh! gosh!

yeah, right after Hasbro releases an SA Porkins!  :P

Actually, they kept the pegs quite toasty, at least in my area.

And after all, its just a clone figure that is crucial in finishing off the recreation of a major scene in ROTS. No, not that big of a deal. It'll warm like HECK! ::)

I wouldn't consider that scene a "major" scene.

gosh! gosh! gosh! gosh! gosh! gosh! gosh!

Calm down.

Have you taken your Ritalin today?

yeah, right after Hasbro releases an SA Porkins! :P

He has a better chance of being given the SA treatment than Passel Argente.

Post by: Happy Noodle Boy on November 24, 2006, 10:19 PM
Dude,

sorry to be one of the few dissenting votes on this figure, but don't like it. Repainting it and putting a pauldron on it just doesn't cut it for me. If that's the case I already have 3.

Just pop off head, put on pauldron from Clone Commander on an SA #41, buy a paint vile for like $1.35, a paint brush.......and presto change-o! You have an APPO!

Sorry guys, I'm passing on this one!

Cody will warm, no kids want a holo figure. The only appeal of this figure is from us.

Around here Saga figures come out to about $7 each.

On topic I'll buy a few. I like the #41 better than #6 anyways.

oh, more than that. where can you get a figure for $5.99 anymore, let alone a clone!  :P

i still cant wait for this appo!

Wow! People are touchy with making some effort.

Welllllllllllllllllll. Since this is the COLLECTIBLES SECTION, I assumed people COLLECTED figures and would already have an SA 41 and a Commander.

Didn't realize collecting meant you have a HISSY FIT over a suggestion. Come on, seriously, no one has these figures to fiddle around with?

REMEMBER, THEY'RE TOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Smile. You'll feel better. Take a deeeeeeeep breath!
