I went back and looked at season 7 when Anakin goes and commits a war crime when they are under the bridge and it clearly this one. Comparing to the other troopers who also have jet packs it’s much dark and has that same color scheme. It just may have been more noticeable in the light on mandalore but this is for sure the same jet pack before mandalore.
CT-7567 looks glorious! The live-action interpretation of his sculpt is nothing less than perfect IMO. Loads of accessories that can be shared with other 501st troopers were a great touch. Give us Ahsoka and those two will be front and center of my SW display
Technically Rex is an ARC trooper though, so his armor being similar in some ways makes sense. This is why he's allowed to customize it so dramatically compared to some other clones.
Awesome review as always! Just a note - The way the pauldron is painted is exactly the same as the prototype, so exchanging it wouldn't help - A bit of black paint should though!
I really hope that the cross-compatible macrobinoculars means they have Commander Bly on the cards. I love my old SIdeshow one, but I wouldn't mind an update!
I believe the reason his armor looks greenish is because it's more aged and weathered than even someone like Cody's who's seen quite a bit of battle himself. Rex's armor is even older than Cody's he kept his armor from phase 1 and welded the pieces of the phase 2 armor he liked to it.
Rex with the macrobinoculars just immediately jumped out at me. THATS Umbara Rex, taken directly out of my imagination from what was represented on screen.
Hi Justin! Well, this is the figure we’ve all been waiting fir. This is such a perfect figure! It has all the specific things we’ve come to expect in this figure but for me the body type and head sculpt are the exact replica of Morrison. So overall I have to say Temura from the very beginning was the perfect person for the original clone. His overall image has become so important to Star Wars and the fact that he’s essentially represented in so many places, it’s nice to see how perfect this head sculpt and body are. Thanks for comparing the different versions and thanks for the video 💎😊
There are some parts that don’t make much sense like the blue on the pauldron, the weird green weathering, and the animated/realistic rangefinder. I’m fine with it being animated but if you are going to do an animated figure at least make it accurate to the animation. Other that that he’s quite a nice figure.
I think that Rex is a little more than slightly taller than Cody. If you put them side by side standing straight up, it’s pretty evident. Not only is the helmet a factor, but also possibly the figure used for Rex and the other clones hot toys has made besides Cody. The torso seems longer, and the armor for the chest sits higher as well as opposed to Cody’s. Nonetheless super excited with both figures.
I think both versions of Rex have their place. Hot Toys hands down made an awesome live action Rex. The Sideshow one I think is a good alternative if you want a more animated style Rex. But if your looking for just one Rex to go with, Hot Toys nailed it. As a gentle reminder for those who critique HT Rex, remember that a live action Rex doesn’t exist. All things considering, they did a great job.
I hope hot toys gives us a clone accessory pack with extra pistols and a lot of head attachments. An entire display with macrobinoculars on would be amazing looking since im pretty sure all the clones had some on umbara
Thanks for this review, especially the comparison that helped me decide! I do have the Sideshow version (which is displayed with Anakin, Obi-Wan and another 501st trooper) and was waiting to see how it fared next to HT. Honestly I'm not feeling the urge to replace Rex. I agree about the floppy body. And the HT head sculpt is a definite improvement. The visual impact is very much the same, however, and I prefer the pleather kama.
I know I’m late to the party. But the stock for the DC-15s blaster carbine is meant to go all the way back. It is indeed a stock. In the movies they never show any clones folding the stock, but in Clone Wars you see it a few times. Clone Commander Trauma is probably the most well known. The one commander who gets killed by Savage Oppress before he kills Jedi master Halsey and his padawan Knox.
i mean the anakin figure is taller, you can't really count the top of rex's helmet as its a helmet, so going off the visor and shoulders anakin is taller
I made a rule to only have 5 hot toys at any given time. I own beskar mando with grogu, and THIS BAD BOY! hot toys is so so so so insane, man. IMMACULATE! I had to see what others said, and this video is great. But I wonder what my other 3 will be. Maybe maul, luke, bossk???? Hmmmmmmmm. this video is great!
Hello Justin, Nice to have the rex review from you that i was waiting for! Definitely waiting for mine to arrive to join Cody! Two figures i think were perfectly well made! Thanks a lot Justin i have to say this figure is perfect!
I keep coming back to this, and I get the feeling I'm gonna regret skipping out on these clones waiting for Phase I versions.. Goddammit Hot Toys, they already have the Phase I mold
people forget that Star Wars blasters especially episodes 4-6 used WW2 weapons as a base and made them more sci-fi, that DC "bipod" is actually a foldable stock, take a look at the German MP-40 or the Type 1 AK-47. this is just my reasoning for it, I could be wrong but im confident im not.
Wow, Rex is even better than I expected. I am curious though, how come you have yours now, I ordered mine from sideshow and due to a production issue it's been pushed back
This figure is 10/10! I too got my Rex from Toys Wonderland, and my pauldron has the sloppy blue paint in it. If Hot Toys and TW decide to do something about it great, if not it's not a deal breaker for me.
It's a superb portrait alongside a good but not great figure, imo. Three fairly big issues for me: the lack of weathering of the tunic (it's far too clean compared to the armour), lack of weld lines on the cheek of his helmet and the significant colour difference between the white of Rex's armour when compared to the 501st figures (doesn't look right when they're posed next to each other, and I don't think it's screen accurate).
Just a cool fact, the reason why the marks on the right hand are more wonky, is because clones are right handed, and he had to write those marks with his left hand
I feel like you can customize it where you can switch the sideshow rex blue and black shoulder pad and shoes or boots to the hot toys then it will be on screen accurate.. to be honest the shoulder pad and armored boots on sideshow rex is better than hot toys
I love the figure, hell mine arrives in a few days. But I do not prefer the green tint to his armor its just kinda throws off the look when i've got 3 badass 501st troopers in white and blue and then rex ol' boy over here with green and blue.
Just ordered my Rex, only other clone Iv got is a shock trooper so don’t think they will pair well, but I’m more of trooper collector just love Rex and glad I got him :-) have mostly imperial troopers and droids, only actual characters I have is The Mandalorian and grogu, jango fett, and now captain rex
Hi Justin, I have a question to ask you. I am trying to decide between buying either Hot toys captain rex, or Arc trooper Jesse. Which would you say is better?
![[Sub Thai] APT. - ROSÉ & Bruno Mars](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/bYjhzP8x_uc/mqdefault.jpg)
I like how the “mouth piece” is smaller so thats actually accurate to captain rex’s helmet it is very impresive most impresive
Yes!
I love Rex he is my favourite character
@@JustinsCollection if I could show then I would show you my captain Rex dewing I did I am very good at drawing
Its called vents
The jet-pack he comes with is a Death Watch one…he borrowed one for the Siege of Mandalore. Great Review!
Oh nice!

Damn right he does! I heard Ahsoka may be coming out very soon!
Who are you, General Krell? Shut your nerdy mouth and call him Rex.
@@turbkeysamdwich1880 ARC Trooper Fifty-Five Fifty-Five, stand down.
"CT-7567" Alright, Krell.
I’d definitely recommend more clones 😎😬
I’m hoping for more Clone Commanders.
Haha YOU would 😉
4:42 it's a swing back stock. In the clone wars there are a few scenes where you see the clones using it as a stock.
Nice!
Just like the Sterling submachine gun the Stormtrooper's (and later clone's) blasters were based on!
Technically Rex is an ARC trooper though, so his armor being similar in some ways makes sense. This is why he's allowed to customize it so dramatically compared to some other clones.
Oh cool!
You are correct
he aint an arc trooper
@@_SWFB Yes it claims he is according to wookiepedia All versions of him have completed arc trooper training. I honestly had no idea.
@@mortalwound2945 He said in one of the episodes to an arc trooper (maybe fives or echo) “That’s why you’re the arc trooper.”
I love the black backdrop. The richness of the black made all the details on the white armor pop! Great review-
Thank you! It’s very hard to get perfect but I’m happy with how it looked this time
OH.MY.GOD!!! He came out incredible!! I really hope Sideshow starts shipping ASAP
He did!
I’ve had this figure preordered since they revealed it back in August of 2020… haven’t gotten it yet, but I’m so excited.
Damn!
I also haven't gotten mine. Got an email a couple months ago about delays and another again saying it wouldn't be here till late this year
I think I personally would have preferred the animated Rex head, however the amount of detail they put into this love action alternative is stunning.
Oh ok
Love your channel Justin. Thank you for bringing us all this information 🙏
My pleasure!
Yes yes yes and YES 🙌🏼! Can’t wait for this! Amazing review Justin! 🤘🏼👊🏼. Rex has such an amazing presence in a tweaked museum pose! Wow!
You're going to freaking love it!
Awesome review as always! Just a note - The way the pauldron is painted is exactly the same as the prototype, so exchanging it wouldn't help - A bit of black paint should though!
Oh ok!
Those face sculpts are out of this world. I’d love to watch the artist do the green mold.
Agreed!
I really hope that the cross-compatible macrobinoculars means they have Commander Bly on the cards. I love my old SIdeshow one, but I wouldn't mind an update!
That would be dope!
I hope so!
I’ve loved Rex since I first saw him in Clone Wars. I love your videos so keep it up!
Nice!

Oh ok!
Tony : We have a Hulk
Me : We have Justin's Collection
Haha love it!
ITS THE GUY FROM MY CHILDHOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Yeah!
Just picked him up brand new for $100 very excited
Oh sick!
There needs to be a live action captain rex one day, this figure just proves it would look amazing
That would be dope!
Are u happy now
@@Jadenz_ ecstatic, Rex looked amazing. Don't even get me started on armored anakin
@@Jadenz_ ecstatic, Rex looked amazing. Don't even get me started on armored anakin
@@kyleyuen245 lmfao tbh I didn’t like the Rex armor in live action, they shoulda just used this hot toys as reference, but anakin looked amazing
Yooo really cool figure not gonna lie, and love the fact they include the 332nd helmet option.
Yes me too!
When i saw cody, a big smile came across my face, but then i saw Palpatine, and that smile quickly faded
Damn haha
I have watched the clone wars show 3 times I love it
Awesome!
Rex with the macrobinoculars just immediately jumped out at me. THATS Umbara Rex, taken directly out of my imagination from what was represented on screen.
Nice!
I really want lesser known Clones, like Thorn, Crys, Oddball, Vaughn, or even Fox (so we can put him on display being killed by Vader lmao)
Fair enough!
It looks great
It does!
Just wanna say 4 seconds into the video...and I already love it!
Thanks!

He is one of the most iconic faces in all of Star Wars I think!
Got mine yesterday, love it so much
Nice!
Just bought Clone Wars Ahsoka and this one too! So excited to get them next to each other!
Nice!
the blaster smg has a stock that flips back, and kinda resembles the skorpion (gun) wire stock
Yep
Thank you for these detailed and timely video reviews Justin! Much appreciated!
My pleasure!

very nice! I posed mine with ahsoka, Cody and some 501st clones :D
Noice!
Looks great, can't wait for mine to actually show up sometime this century.... I'll be displaying mine with Ahsoka once she arrives.
Fingers crossed!
the up close comparison is very amuseing
Thanks haha

I wonder if the Ahsoka show will finally give us a Morrison Rex. He's said he wants to play the iconic Clone.
@@CardboardSliver if temura appears as rex in the Ashoka show he will probably be bed ridden and old as hell. Like Bill Gates type old.
Man we need a cad bane figure 🤤
We do!
I hope hot toys gives us a clone accessory pack with extra pistols and a lot of head attachments. An entire display with macrobinoculars on would be amazing looking since im pretty sure all the clones had some on umbara
That would be dope!
I've been so excited for this to come out just for your review lmao. I don't even plan on buying one
Thanks Bree!
I always like rex because he reformed.
Nice!
considering the blaster is based on a sterling machine gun, its most likely a stock as thats what it is on the real steal weapon
Oh ok!
Thanks for this review, especially the comparison that helped me decide!
I do have the Sideshow version (which is displayed with Anakin, Obi-Wan and another 501st trooper) and was waiting to see how it fared next to HT.

Hmmm so many choices!
It would be awesome if Hot Toys continues with the Clone Wars line! I would love to see Commander Bly Figure!
Agreed!
That is some insane detail
It is!
i have been waiting for this figure for foreveror
Haha nice!
Dang this awesome figure just makes me want a live action Rex even more!
Me too!
Mine just came in and wow was that wait worth it
Nice!
Hello Justin, Nice to have the rex review from you that i was waiting for!
Definitely waiting for mine to arrive to join Cody!
Two figures i think were perfectly well made!
Thanks a lot Justin i have to say this figure is perfect!
They so are!
Got mine today, and aside from a few minor inaccuracies he's great. Tempted to get a second one to kitbash a Rebels version.
Get another!
I don’t wanna spoil myself because mine still takes like 2 weeks but I’m coming back here when it’s in my shelf!
You’re going to love it!
@@JustinsCollection he finally arrived and yeah, I love it :D now I can finally check out the review!
I keep coming back to this, and I get the feeling I'm gonna regret skipping out on these clones waiting for Phase I versions.. Goddammit Hot Toys, they already have the Phase I mold
I don't think they'll do them again in Phase 1
Thanks for the fantastic review!
My pleasure!
My favourite to
Nice!
Wow he looks amazing!
He does!
Am I the only one that only remembers Rex having a jet pack in like 2 episodes
Probs not!
Is the magnetic pouch pleather?
Yeah
Cant wait for mine to arrive, and then ahsoka, clone wars maul and clone wars anakin, gonna set them up nicely
Awesome!
The DC-15s has a folding stock
Ok!
@@JustinsCollection Great Videos btw
Great video waiting on mine,
Awesome!
Gonna make this my very first Hot Toy. Sideshow has it for 25% off right now 👍
Dope!
i like white background, as always, good review
If I used it here you wouldn’t see him, he is white lol
I mean, in the show I'm pretty sure they use the stock/monopod thing as a zipline hook
Maybe
The pistol holsters are supposed to flop around
Ok
Damn, they should give variety in hand gestures, loved the variety SSC did for theirs, but solid figure
Hot Toys at least needs to give their clones fist hands. I really miss having those when I repose my clones.
@@NoahR_ for real
It would be nice!

I was captain Rex for Halloween as a kid
Nice!
Hi Justin, I have ordered from Toys Wonderland as could not wait and is on its way. This will sell out fast, what an awesome figure, great review!
It sure will!
Wow, Rex is even better than I expected. I am curious though, how come you have yours now, I ordered mine from sideshow and due to a production issue it's been pushed back
He is!
Finally has come in 🙏 took way tooooo long for this figure to arrive
Yes!
Great as always! Thumbs up!
Thank you! Cheers!

It is definitely accurate for the color. Look up rex clone wars and almost all the images have a greenish stain to the armor
i live in Canada and i can’t find him😖 but i did just get the deluxe pack of a clone trooper and i’m very happy with it
Link in the description
the sideshow jetpack is the basic 501st jet trooper jetpack.
Nice
I just got this figure and he is my first hot toys ever. Do you have any tips on putting the blasters in the hands?
Heat up the hands first
@@JustinsCollection thank you, that worked like a charm!
DUDE I pre-ordered mine on day one! I ready hope I get mine soon, he hasn't arrived yet
Nice!
This review is great, glad I’ve got one coming but my one gripe, Rex was an ARC trooper 😊
Thank you!
💯 % agree! He is outstanding. I can’t wait to get it. Best review bro 👍🏻
He is!
Just a cool fact, the reason why the marks on the right hand are more wonky, is because clones are right handed, and he had to write those marks with his left hand
Ah interesting!
Love your reviews. Great stuff. Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽
Glad you like them!
Me in my terrible clone voice: Oh my gosh so cool
Lol
I feel like you can customize it where you can switch the sideshow rex blue and black shoulder pad and shoes or boots to the hot toys then it will be on screen accurate.. to be honest the shoulder pad and armored boots on sideshow rex is better than hot toys
You could maybe
I need this
Get it!
those side flaps are like mousepads xD
Lol
I love the figure, hell mine arrives in a few days. But I do not prefer the green tint to his armor its just kinda throws off the look when i've got 3 badass 501st troopers in white and blue and then rex ol' boy over here with green and blue.
Fair enough!
On the gun the clone blaster is based on in real life, the piece is a front folding stock. But no clones use it that way so it’s no big deal really
Nice!
Just ordered my Rex, only other clone Iv got is a shock trooper so don’t think they will pair well, but I’m more of trooper collector just love Rex and glad I got him :-) have mostly imperial troopers and droids, only actual characters I have is The Mandalorian and grogu, jango fett, and now captain rex
Worth it!

Oooh yeah I might have to pick this up…
Get him!
Hi Justin, I have a question to ask you. I am trying to decide between buying either Hot toys captain rex, or Arc trooper Jesse. Which would you say is better?
Rex is my favourite personally
Awesome, then I will get him. Thanks for the reply!@@JustinsCollection
Technically if the 332nd helmet is included shouldn’t this be labeled as commander Rex?
True!
