Yay for Photo Real! I love face printing tech, it takes the action figure to a whole new level, and that's no different for the standard release of Hasbro's Star Wars Black Series Captain Rex. So good!

I hope they release a Captain Fordo, the dual wielding Clone Trooper from the original 2D cartoon Star Wars Clone Wars.
Yes, yes, YES AGAIN. At this point I would buy ANY ARC Trooper figure they have to offer.
I can get behind that! I love ARC Troopers whether they're from the old Clone Wars like Fordo or from the new series- I'd kill for Echo and Fives in their ARC Trooper gear!
The Guardian torso is my second favourite clone trooper he proved himself and deserves an action figure
The Guardian my only thing I really want with fordo, and I can’t stress it enough, is swappable helmets. Cause he had both phase one and two armors and both were iconic
@Swanky
They probably won't do it but wouldn't it be nice if they recreated the 3 1/2 inch feature and included both sets of gear to make his phase I and phase II gear?
That flattened nose is an example of why I'll always prefer swap-out heads instead of removable helmets. It also prevents paint scrapping and proportion issues (ie original Darth Vader)
Yup, even here Rex's head is a little bit small to accommodate the helmet.
Hasbro! Release a set of heads with the photo real tech for your old figures! I'd be willing to pay $5 or so for each lol
Came here to see if my helmet was the only one stuck and had my question answered in the first 10 secs with the same reaction lol
Heh, had to go back and watch it since it's been a while, forgot all about that.
Love the look of the new face on that Rex.
2 minutes in and theres already a dislike.
...damn.
It's that GNR guy!!
I wasn't able to get the previous Rex figure (I believe it had a very limited release in the UK) but I have pre-ordered the 3D print Rex and I look forward to receiving it in April!
Clone Troopers, I love Clone Troopers and Rex is my favourite!
My only little gripe is that the Black Series figures have a 'neutral/passive' expression. It would be great if they had an 'attack/angry' expression.
Otherwise, this looks like grand figure!
photo tech is life
I'm still waiting for Bandai to do a model kit for the Arc Troopers.
Yup, that would be awesome.
and it really wouldn't cost them much either. just a few new parts for the belt and pauldron. along with new decals.
It took me all the way to YESTERDAY when i finally found one on the shelf over here in Germany .... and its so Fantastic !!!
I know I’m two years late but I finally got a captain Rex and anyway I’m so glad I’m not the only one who was super annoyed with the helmet in the box
Black Series Battle Droids will be a nice figure to have!
Yeah, they would be way cheaper than trying to army build the SHF or model kits.
The Fwoosh hopefully they don't end up like the standard stormtrooper. They most likely will.
I finally got mine and he looks great with all the clone troopers!
Omg I love that opening there are so many times where things like that in packaging happens and it’s so annoying! Great video
Haha, my first thought is always "How the hell did they get it IN there?" Thanks man.
Yup... it's a mystery. You can always just use a knife though.
Do you think captain Rex's head is compatible with jango's body???
Didn't even think to try it but I'll see what I can do.
They went the extra mile even though Rex is lacking dual trigger fingers.
A new boba fett would be nice with removable helmet. Thank you for the review Robo.
But we've never really had an official face reveal for boba, we could assume he looks like jango but they probably won't make a removable helmet boba in till we get a canon face reveal for boba.
1:49 Actually the explanation is that the Phase 1 armor was more durable and better for protection along with a better visor while the Phase 2 armor was more comfortable and allowed for more mobility. So Rex wanted the best parts from the old armor and slapped it onto the new armor.
We need more CIS Droids.
Deluxe Droideka!!
I died when you crushed, and smacked the box around! Lol!!!
PAckages go bye bye, haha.
Had the same trouble with the antenna also. Had to cut the tray to get it out.
Great review Robo!!! He looks amazing and I can't wait to find him. Thanks for the review and I can't wait for your Toy Fair coverage...
I demand a re release of the Gree figure. It should be made a Target exclusive. I also want a new Cody.
One store in about three countries in the world. Yeah, that seems fair.
Nice review! At this point I'll just be buying any black series clone that's released
I got the v2 rex with the new face print but i need the hascon one because of the extra guns.In the show rex uses the standard trooper rifle from time to time also since rex has the new print on one head i dont wanna smash the nose or cover it up because the head is beautiful! Plus i want a rex where hes helmeted and one thats maxing and relaxing on the carrier going over plans for their next mission. both ways are badass and the dirtiness on the hascon works out in my favor cause fighting with ashoka and anakin your gonna be a dirty little trooper ha now hurry up walgreens we need our General Kenobi he looks amazing!kickass review robo i binge watch you all the time you are my favorite channel for kickass toys!!
Hey Robo, love your reviews and channel. Not judging or being negative but this Rex isn't really meant to go with the Rebels. Old Rex is Rebels Era. If anything this one would go with Clone Wars animated or a Episode 2/3 setup I would think (even though there are a lack of BS6 for those films to get him next to).. God i'm a nerd. Cheers!
You are EXACTLY right. I got excited about adding to my Rebels crew that I didn't even think of where he should go. Even sadder, I have an old man Rex cast head sitting here waiting to be painted and to find a body. I even had the HasCon Rex in with my other clone commanders before taking him down for this.
Hope they revisit Rex for the release of Season 7 along with Clone Force 99 figures and a new Cody figure, Jesse also is an ARC trooper now so I'm hoping for that as well but they'll probably just focus on a few interesting figures and a lot of other ones I won't care about
The quality controll on the helmet is really bad, I've seen so many videos of people that had absolutely horrible paint decals on his helmet. I would go as far as to completely redo that helmet myself if I would actually get this one
I hope they release a Darth Malak
So much better also I wish Hasbro would give extra hands for the Star Wars Black figures since now we got the photo real on them now we need the the extra hands
Question- how easy is it to cut the trigger finger for the left hand? I have an X-Acto knife; would that be sufficient? Would I simply slice straight into the hand from the fingertips to the knuckle?
That's exactly what I use, and exactly how I did it. Just follow the sculpted line of the finger and you should be fine.
Yea it's pretty easy I just did it and I would highly recommend doing it
Only gripe from this figure Is I can’t do the signature pose where he makes and X with the blasters
If anybody is reading this, get your black series figures off amazon. I went into my local comic shop yesterday and they had absolute jack in there. They had the same three or four rogue one characters and a snoke for retail price. Not one prequel, EU or OT character. On amazon however i got the sdcc exclusive kylo ren for £25, boba fett for £25 (sold out everywhere near me except amazon), the last jedi version of kylo ren with the better face sculpt for 6.99, captain phasma for £11 and just recently captain rex for £11. They even had 4-lom on sale for £18 reduced from £32 and is currently sitting at £20 as of writing this.
Yesterday, rex was around £21 but today he was £11. Every day it seems there's another character on sale so i would highly recommend getting them from amazon. Most only take a day to arrive too if you've got prime and in some cases if you order early in the morning you can get it the same day.
Just need a Clone Wars version of Ahsoka Tano to go with Anakin and Captain Rex to complete the 501st Legion.
What's up, Fwoosh? Just wanted to say I lucked into one of these for $5 at 5 below in February 2020. I got Rex and the Imperial Guard for $5 each (I had never seen either on shelves before that day). J$H Sun 03.01.2020 4:41 PM
Can’t wait to pick that up. I was kinda hoping it would’ve been a Walgreens exclusive I always have luck w/ Black series @ Walgreens. Oh well, gotta keep a look out for 59. Thanks Robo!
April is so far away
*sigh* ......I know that pain. :(
is that when it will be released to stores?
I pre-ordered it on bigbadtoystore. I don't care that it cost more theres no way i'm missing out on rex
So far away we wait for the day
For the lives are so wasted and gone.
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on...
Missed the exclusive version so I've been waiting for this.
Oh Robo - 0:51 "I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced" 😂😂😂
Yeah Rec looks awesome. Is the head sculpt the same, just wondering if the face print tech makes such a difference, or have the tweaked the sculpt too? Also, is the pauldron slightly different too?
IM WAITING FOR WOLFFE
this will make excellent fodder for bandit kits
Since I always keep helmets on, having a dirty chest means more to me than a photo-real face, unless its a character from live-action, then I want it to look like the actor. With helmets on, Hascon wins in accessories and aesthetic, while the single wins in articulation and aesthetic (helmet off). If I could only pick one, I'd just have to go with the Hascon, that box plus the "exclusiveness" of it adds a special something that just can't be replicated in a widespread release. I would have loved to see a head swap, but I know thats harder on some BS figs.
Clone Wars is coming back!
I can't wait to get my hands on it
Very cool review my friend is going to Fan Expo and i hope to Finish off my Clones by getting Commander Wolffe yes I Finally got Rex sweeeeeeeeeeet figure love it
Why does Rex look like Gunther from Friends
So what would you suggest? Put the helmet on or put the helmet off when display it? Regarding flatnose issue
So I need a second one for photo realism. Fine. Fine. I'll be doing it!
That's some nice face printing! Most impressive....so does this mean a rerelease of all the vintage carded figures with new face print is coming???
I finally copped him after so long!
I did as well
Ahh this makes me want to watch the clone wars solo bad!!
I still need to sit down and watch the series someday.
Good video Robo, Peace and Grace brother 👊🏾
This toy isn't listed in Dorkside toys. :/
Yeah, it's sold out since this video.
RIP
Awsome review
They should redo all of the commanders with the new body
"should show up anytime now" just arrives today
Geez, where did you order it?
Hey Robo! Just wondering if the scale and design of the Bandai clone trooper kits fit in with this figure. Planning on making a few of the 501st if ever. Thanks man stay awesome!
The Clone models are so close in size to the Black Series Clones and Rex, it's almost like they were meant to go together. The only big thing is the white of the models is a stark white while the Black Series has a gray tint to it. But they still look great together.
Awesome review Robo. Have fun at Toy fair
Glad I waited for the reissue, saved me some money from the scalped Hascon version from Ebay.
Is there any way to remove the pauldrons on captain rex
Man I really want this! When will it release in the US???
Wish we got a phase 1 Rex instead.
We already have Phase 2 501st trooper AND other P2 clone commanders so this Rex goes well with them.
Would still buy a P1 Rex whenever they release it.
If you wanted a damaged box then you could have hit up mint collectors that got this with a effed up box.
hi! Does the dirty one has the left shoulder articulated too? mine is a little hard to move and im afraid to break it hehe
Yeah, mine do, have full articulation.
Robo if ever you're gonna come back today. Can you please ask the Bandai SH Figuarts guys if they have any plans on getting the NJPW license. I hope they do since they did some WWE and Kinikuman figures. It also makes sense since they're a Japanese based company the NJPW scene is booming. I really want an NJPW action figure. Thank you! Great recap btw.
There are no actual Bandai guys here, only Bluefin who does the distributing.
:(( Ok thank you still.
Is the Everet Ross and killmongerer 2 pack movie or comic?
And if it’s movie, is the kilmongerer in his tactical gear with the animal mask or just unmasked golden jaguar
Movie, just unmasked golden jaguar.
Still cool but dang
kinda hv the same problm here like chirrut imwe, i was having a really tough time getting that arrow gun thingy
I want a Clone Wars Ahsoka in Black Series form.
Who would have guessed that Phase 2 helmets can do free nose jobs.
LMAO the flat nose
Should I just drop 70 on this
wait for a rerelease hopefully
@@mctapper6172 tempted to drop 70 as well 🤣 😬
How'd you get it early
A case happened to hit Toys R Us a few weeks before release, as odd as that sounds.
Great video and it’s “indentation”!
I use pen knives to cut the plastic to remove the helmet , not sure is my pen knives damaged the helmet a not. Cause my pen knives blade very sharp. While cutting the plastic. I accidentally pok the helmet. Got feel that pen knive stuck on the helmet
Aaand now I need it, thanks Robo x)
Anyone elses left hand loose?
Robo WILL regret bending the box in a couple years
Haven't regretted it the past 5 years, won't regret it for however much longer I got.
@@TheFwoosh YOOO!!!!! thanks for replying to my comment that I left on a 5 YEAR OLD video. And I know that this is a late reply. But I have a video suggestion and that suggestion is to review the Star Wars Black Series Captain Rex from The Bad Batch. and I am aware that its a hard to find figure but as I said its only a suggestion oh and before I go I just want to say stay safe and I would regret it to.
from yours truly Alfie son of Andy.
1:27 same thing just more accessories
I got this guy for 11.00
Only problem i have with him is that his chin pokes out under the helmet.
Hello Robo
Hello!
This is the most immature question...but I wonder who # 69 will be?
When did these come out what the hell. I looked for one today on e bay and they cost 100+
Soup 2 years ago, and im also trying to find a captain rex, hope you find him for a good price! 😊
100 quid is how much he is worth today.
Loyal West Briton yep, hopefully they make another Rex in the future
@@semelatifofalism5833 hope
New sexy Rexy!
New and improved sexy Rexy!
Lmao, f*cking package, right?
Gets between me and plastic!
I like
First
I don't care if they do end it one day but this "news" is just wrong.
0:10 what kinda scam is this. Jk jk not kidding
Stop making troopers. Random, pointless variants. So dumb. The characters are terrible in the shows and movies. They should've cast a better actor for the clones. Its just a cheap cash in- Ooooo here's Rex, Mike, Sandy with new yellow highlights or an extra weapon or the rainforest version, the sand version, the blue version. Enough.
Calm the fuck down, if you do not like this video then don't watch it, but I liked it.
Damn I thought I was on www.autismspeaks.org
for a second
