And on top of that this is based on TCW’s artstyle, not even accurate to live-action and how commando armour would look there (not to mention that this is a reuse of Hunters armour which is noticeably pretty different from standard commando armour
I don’t overly enjoy that it’s based on the animation model and not the actual model from the games which is ment to represent what they would look like in live action, it’s just going to look weird next to live action characters which is hot toys whole thing with Star Wars
Even the animated one is not like that his armour is simply hunter repainted while in the show their armour are not 100% like hunter like the shoulders, knee pad and crotch armour
@@Darktrooper-mt5qu hunters amour is a reuse of the animation models used for Gregor and delta squad from earlier episodes of the clone wars it’s the exact same with some proportional changes it’s just annoying that hunters is now seen as the definitive one
As good old legends fan and multimedia I hope to God they don't use this body armor for delta squad and even regular white republic commando. It's missing elbow armor, waist is different, shoulder pads has different design and much more bigger, gloves are way off has chunk for mini vibration blade, thigh are different, shoes need to be much chunk, wrist is different. Knee pads are different. I can go on lol. I'm glad they now decided to do commandos but man... for doing live action is just disappointing for me. Thank you for the review tho glad you enjoy it but man just a hasbro moment for me.
All these differences are because this is a reuse of Hunters mold who has modified commando armour with different proportions specifically for him. And this is based on TCW’s artstyle and not even live-action
I think overall, it makes sense for this version of the commando to look the way it does since it is based on bad batch/clone wars art style. Fingers crossed, going forward, they do more of the original bulked up commandos, at least for delta squad or the battlefront molds. I also wish the gun had some paint applications on the magazine to replicate the shot counter from the games just as a little nod. Also if/when we do get Delta Squad I really hope some of the commandos have unique accessories such as scorch having det packs/explosives or sev having the sniper attachment rather than the grenade launcher
Love. Glad I was able to snag one from Sideshow despite their nightmare queue system. Hopefully Hot Toys gives us the beefier Delta Sq. commandos at some point.
At least it seems everyone's on the same page with the general consensus of this figure. I agree that the choices made in the design of the blaster mold is very telling for their future plans.
Ooooo finally!! Been waiting for a clone commando review, looks epic!! Since were seeing this guy first, like you said, delta squad possibly? Would be REALLY cool to see.
As Justin said, we will definitely get a republic commando especially given the fact that they made the blaster customizable. It will most likely be Scorch we get however, as he is the only delta squad member that is reusable as a republic commando and for the Disney show
@@JustinsCollection yes , from what i read commandos and regs are six feet tall , no physical changes except the aging process. But the lore is always changing so who knows
You had the same idea as me. They are 100% going to make more commandos. Idk why their first ever one is some random imperial one. Waiting on a nice delta squad or I would even take just a shiny commando.
This figure isn’t accurate. It’s just a repaint of Hunter, so the overall design and proportions are off. Hunter is basically wearing a modified, more streamlined version of the commando armor, so while they’re similar, they’re not 100% the same.
I was lucky to get one at sideshow, then since I got that one I picked one up from pop collectibles… so yes I have two. But I have been very patient for this figure as I am a huge fan of commandos!
It looks pretty cool! Definitely disappointed on the armor, hope they make some more classic bulky like clone commandos, like the original delta squad and battlefront 2!
9:46 damn... They did the same thing Hasbro did ALMOST verbatim, at least this commando got his proper chest piece with the ribbed neck area, other wise its just a hunter repaint, i guess from a company stand point, reuse is the way to go, but when the parts you're reusing are inaccurate to what you're trying to make, why bother? weird that somehow, NOBODY from Hot Toys saw the backlash that Hasbro received for doing this,
"they will buy it anyways" Hot toys knows it well, why would they bother getting a completely new mold, when they can just repaint Hunter and it will sell just as well. They don't care about the minority critisizeing it. 😢
Hope they make delta squad, but I bet they’ll just repaint this skinny ass mould 😭 If they make them chunkier it’ll tempt me to get my first hot toy (or 4 👀😭😭😂) That light up helmet is ace!!
Hey Justin!? What a Outstanding looking Imperial Commando Figure! I'm also Ginormous Sucker, when it comes to 1/6 Scale Figures too. That's why I truly love Hot Toys on your Channel. They have the Licensing and very knowledgeable, Producing Figures Beautifully. Not only that!? You made my Day Awesome and brought out the kid in me as well. Excellent Job Toy Reviewing as always, Friend! And May the Force be with you! 👽👽👽🛸🛸
When I saw These Imperial Commandos In Bad Batch especially in season 2 finale when Hemlock and His Imperial Commandos came to capture the bad batch it was awesome and I was wondering why these Imperial Commandos are Loyal to the Empire would be great to see them kill some TK Troopers
Awesome review Justin! I can’t wait to get mine in soon. I agree with you, hopefully this means we’ll be getting Delta Squad and other Republic Commando variants. Republic Commando is one of my favorite video games of all time, and I’m so glad Hot Toys has started making commandos. I’m just hoping that this is the only variant that they make limited. If they were to make any member of Delta Squad or Gregor or any of the generic white/shiny commandos limited, it would be a complete travesty. I absolutely do not like Hot Toys making clone troopers limited in any way
Great review! I like this figure, and what they did with the light up helmet is sweet. It's shocking how fast they were ready to release from just announcing it. Also would you be interested in reviewing more 3rd party 1/6 scale Resident Evil figures?
the shoulder pads are supposed to flare out like it although i understand u may not like it as you said it is the accurate way and they flare just a tiny tiny bit too much it really doesnt bother me
Ah I wanted to like this figure purely cos I love commandos but he just doesn't scream commando to me. Just a slightly bulked up clone with a different helmet.
like the clones basics... it took a couple of iterations before they perfected the art and became master cloners. Give it time and hot toys will perfect it.
I'm not too salty about the proportions the more I look at this fella (except the height is terrible). I do feel they were a bit lazy with how much they translated from hunter, but I really just look forward to seeing what they do with future commandos, because those will be the ones I'm most interested in buying
ya unfortunately they just copy and paste the figure from the black series. I always find the body like you said skinny and the helmet too big. It makes him look like a "funko pop" could it be better? haha ya. But I do like the color scheme as it the same as the kamino trooper.
I got lucky with Sideshow's PO lottery and secured one. Now, i'm hoping Hot Toys will consider a plain white regular release sooner rather than later. I need a couple to flank this one as well as a couple TK troopers.
I don’t know how you seem to get your orders from Pop Collectibles? I’ve been waiting over a year and still haven’t received my items. Their communication is horrible. I guess it’s one of those “your mileage may vary” situations.
YES! I mean I don't care about the Bad Batch part, cause Disney killed their crappy version of Scorch, real Scorch will live on forever BUT it must mean my boiz are coming Or at least customs I can't afford these but I sure wanna see em lol After watching video: Still awesome, but FIX THE SCALE, WHY IS HE SO SHORT!!! Looks pretty great though, definitely need the hands you said with Delta Squad, actually ALL THE HANDS EVER!!! Lots of gestures in the game, weapon changes, pistol, different grenades, set them up perfectly
@@JustinsCollection it's like they were like Ok they have big shoulders and chests, let's make them a little bigger, slim down the waist, and not take into any account ever about scale or anatomy, just get the general SD shape
This is literally a Hasbro moment. An animated style Hunter repaint with a realistic battlefront 2 commando helmet. It is inaccurate to the animated design, becouse it still has Hunters unique modifications, being more skinny than a regular commando, and it has a realistic helmet. And it is inaccurate to the Realistic design, as exept the helmet it has the animated style body proportions (not to mention it has Hunters skinny proportions, wich are absolutely inaccurate to the regular commandos). The only difference between this figure and Hasbros is the pricetag. For this price, it should be at least be an accurate depiction of a commando armor. Now even if they will ever do Delta Squad, or at least Scorch, they would definetely all have these half animated, half realistic, Hunter proportions, meanwhile if they made an actual realistic commando based on the battlefront 2 model, they could repaint it multiple time and it would sell well and would be accurate.
This was by far the most disappointing release from hottoys , they set the example for other figure company’s and shouldn’t make a clearly animated figure in a realistic line
Hot toys basically made a oversized black series because even hasbro just used hunters mold!! 🤣
Lol
Hot toys doesn't use hunters armor
I'm really hoping they dont even consider using this mold for Delta Squad or the Battlefront versions. It is just way too thin and short.
Yeah fair
And on top of that this is based on TCW’s artstyle, not even accurate to live-action and how commando armour would look there (not to mention that this is a reuse of Hunters armour which is noticeably pretty different from standard commando armour
Hopefully any future Commandos aren't just Hunter repaints. They have the reference of realistic Commandos from Battlefront 2.
Agreed!
These aren't hunter repaints
@@shanenonwolfe4109 but they are, aside from the helmet
I agree I thought it should be ether Gregor or some one from delta squad but as you said it’s a commando exalent video
He sure is!

Fair enough! The issue is 99% of the time they take the animation look and go realistic, this is at odds with the look of everything else
It’s not even accurate to the TCW artstyle because this figures body is a repaint of Hunters who has different proportions and minor details
Just got mine today! I'm so excited to finally have a Commando after 13 years of collecting.
Thank you for the awesome review and pose ideas. (14:50)
Dope! My pleasure!
Love. Glad I was able to snag one from Sideshow despite their nightmare queue system. Hopefully Hot Toys gives us the beefier Delta Sq. commandos at some point.

Really?

Yes!
Awesome review Justin! The backpack storage got me thinking, how do you store your other figures' accessories?
In accessory storage tubs in the closet
Great review! I like this figure, and what they did with the light up helmet is sweet. It's shocking how fast they were ready to release from just announcing it. Also would you be interested in reviewing more 3rd party 1/6 scale Resident Evil figures?
Thank you! And maybe!
the shoulder pads are supposed to flare out like it although i understand u may not like it as you said it is the accurate way and they flare just a tiny tiny bit too much it really doesnt bother me
In the bad batch yes, in entering else…no starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Clone_commando
This guy is going straight into the display cabinet.
Yes!
Ah I wanted to like this figure purely cos I love commandos but he just doesn't scream commando to me. Just a slightly bulked up clone with a different helmet.
Fair
Wow! So awesome 👏
Thanks!
i had no idea there was a commando 1/6 on the market
Yeah!
They also got the knuckle plates wrong the ones they have on there are for the standard clone trooper
Damn!
like the clones basics... it took a couple of iterations before they perfected the art and became master cloners. Give it time and hot toys will perfect it.

Yeah it kinda is
He does look a little malnourished for a commando sadly. I would prefer the chonky clone commando what they are supposed to be
A little unfortunately
The consequences of them being lazy and repainting Hunters armour instead of making actually accurate regular Commando armour
9 days later, but do you think its good for a first hot toy?
If you love the look of it!
@@JustinsCollection i do
They really missed with the blade hand I think
Agreed!
Why did they release the impel commando before tech went the design was only in season 2,3
Because this is a limited event exclusive, they produce them in advance in far less quantities so there is no pre order window
I thought I was the only one who thought they should have included the blade!
Nah that was a huge miss
I got lucky with Sideshow's PO lottery and secured one. Now, i'm hoping Hot Toys will consider a plain white regular release sooner rather than later. I need a couple to flank this one as well as a couple TK troopers.
Cool!
My waitlist converted from sideshow. So i pre ordered
Dope!
Damn thing sold out on the Sideshow site before i could even decide if I wanted one

Welp, hopefully TVC makes a more accurate Republic Commando figure.
If the black series and hot toys repainted Hunter what do you think TVC will do? I'll help, they will repaint Hunter
Surely
Your good man
Thank you!
i can tell they used hunters dimensions for this and hunter is skinnier than regs let alone commandos
Yeah
Even based on animation it’s wrong. It’s just a Hunter repaint with a different helmet and chest, which isn’t the only difference between the two.
Damn!
Sweet Review! Lets go 🔥🔥
LFG 💪
Bro I thought the visor lit up haha
It does I showed that
