It’s important for everyone to know these ARF helmet designs were made by Talon Illustrations (artist) and Mandalorian Business (3D artist) using the design language of the theatrical clone troopers to bring the P1 ARF helmet out of TCW and into a realistic interpretation.
Hey man as a fellow 212th fan i just wanted to say that the p2 212th decals were actually seen in the clone wars show with a p1 helmet. Thats actually why waxer and boil almost look like they are p2 decos
You good. lol It woulda been cool if they were there but I have a personal theory as to why the Phase 1 legion decos were so simplistic (for the most part). Kamino formatted colors on Phase 1 armor to signify rank. Once the Republic knew of the army and had more structural and creative control, they decided to have colors signify which legion/battalion/corps they belong to. However, Kamino's painting set up for clone armor was set up for simple stripes for the ranked colors. Once Phase 2 came around, designs were made more unique.
The Neyo one is definitely worth it. The helmet is exceptional, the best of the bunch I think, and Coruscant Customs on Etsy has the shoulder straps and armor piece.
It’s funny though because the actual origin of the phase 1 212th might be the Republic Commando ARC trooper mod where the normal troopers had 212th markings.
I literally just got Hardcase, Boil, the 212th medic, and 212th P2 ARF! They're actually surprisingly good quality, the only issue is the P2 ARF helmet comes off too easily and Boil's shoulder pad comes off, and his paint is innacurate, but otherwise they're good. Also, I don't feel any sort of guilt buying these figures that are never going to be made.
I feel like KO Lego clones are already pretty close to this quality, its just that Lego as a medium is VERY specific and particular with quality and design, and its much harder to replicate something from a medium thats so precise. Action figures are less precise and thus minor quality differences are less noticeable.
The sculpt is good, but the color difference between the helmets and the bodies on the 212th figures is absolutely atrocious and has actually kept me from purchasing them.

Right about to comment this 🙌🙌🙌
Thank you for the review. I was waiting for someone to review the new molds before I gave them a try
Very tempting to get these figures as I’m getting back into the 3.75 figures
Hey man as a fellow 212th fan i just wanted to say that the p2 212th decals were actually seen in the clone wars show with a p1 helmet. Thats actually why waxer and boil almost look like they are p2 decos
Nah man they never showed up like that, normal troopers just had the stripes. Waxer and Boil were the only two with a similar pattern.
@Jcc2224 yeah I just watched it back and I saw waxer and boil in the background and thought they were p2 deco regs. My bad lol

Wouldn’t be the first time fan designs have been stolen
I think those hands are from the newest TVC Captain Rex
I wish these alieexpress clones used the non removable helmets from the 501st 4 pack
I almost think this is a clandestine operation by Hasbro to get away from royalties
I've been slacking so bad on ordering these. I really want the 212th ARFs for my 212th AT-RT.

Could you post a link to these?

I can't seem to order any of these 3.75" clones from Ali express here in the UK, it says "this item is not available in your area".
Do you have a good rec for army building 3.75 battle droids?
Very fartworthy AliExpress 3.75" clone haul😂❤
STILL haven't copped any of the aliexpress clones yet, probably should lol
I hope someone starts something this high quality with lego figures soon
I feel like KO Lego clones are already pretty close to this quality, its just that Lego as a medium is VERY specific and particular with quality and design, and its much harder to replicate something from a medium thats so precise.

the weird thing is they have a different neck post and it’s too long to swap the current clone head on to it. Very strange.
Bro you need to do re-dos or the every clone ever they some of your most popular videos and certainly some of my fav to watch
No plans to remake them. Sorry!
Aliexpress doesn't show these figures for me, only from the US can you order?

@@Jcc2224 Yea it says "Sorry, the page you requested can not be found:("
Works fine for me. But that is a USA link. If you're international I dunno if I can help!
sadly the new 3,75 bootleg aliexpress clones arent available in Germany
How you know these released?
You just gotta keep an eye on the Aliexpress listing!
@@Jcc2224I can't seem to find the link to these.
can you make more gundan i love gundam ill do any thing to get a gundam video
no, more Star Wars :D
I'll be doing a vid on the Aliexpress Gundamtimus Prime they put out here soon! lol
The one thing I can’t stop looking at is the helmet being a bright white while the armor is an off white.
yes that's my only peeve with them.
I believe it’s an anti yellowing measure, so when the helmets eventually yellow, it’ll match
Seems to only be an issue with the 212th figures oddly enough. Dunno why.
Yeah I just pulled the trigger on one of those 501st airborne troopers for $30… what gives?
You bought it, I bought it, so the buyer is what gives! lol
We are so giving! 🫶
Its annoying these dont ship to the uk 😠
The sculpt is good, but the color difference between the helmets and the bodies on the 212th figures is absolutely atrocious and has actually kept me from purchasing them.
Pretty sure it was your hair, as it wasn’t Asian.
