I look at the Clone as the "throw away" of the wave... He's the costing out filler. It's like if we got Fleet Troopers at some point, with a new head or something, and the helmet was maybe too tight now... At least they gave us something cool as said "filler" to balance out the wave's overall cost.
This isn't really a cool figure, the helmet is eh...
I like removable helmets, personally, and would rather have them than not. Then again I don't plan on buying 90 of this trooper to replace my army. 1, maybe 2? Short of a good sale and plenty of these hanging about... If they screwed up Evazan in a big way I'd be far more annoyed, but I don't care I guess. I agree though, anything for $10 is pretty much excuseless when it's bonered up. I don't see the helmet as a massive deal though. Had it been goofed on the Death Star Trooper, I'd likely be far more annoyed since he was basically an all new figure replacing something that's pretty weak to begin with, without major adjusting.
