I do wish the ammo pouch was switched to the right like the Umbra Operative, but minor inaccuracies aside, he's still a solid good-looking figure with nice clean paint. The helmet is especially outstanding. Great review, Nate, and what a badass looking Kuuga on the side!
Great review! I finally got mine and it was in a mailer but it turned out OK it was not smashed. I got my Grievous but I have not found a Mace in stock. I’m going to open the trooper anyway but leave Grievous on card. I would definitely love to get a couple more of the trooper and at least one Mace! I keep hoping it will come up in stock.
Before this came to the states it was already out in stores in Asia so I ordered it 6 months ago for $65 😂 I know I’m a bum but I didn’t want to wait. I like the figure a lot and Fordo is my favorite Clone next to Rex. I custom made a ARC77 from 3D printed parts. I give this figure a 4/5 since the helmet doesn’t come off but does have a face under. He isn’t 100% the same as the OG Alpha ACR77 Giga Chad Fordo but the extra armor with the extra gear, he’s still a Chad
Great Review of an excellent figure. His shlef presence is phenomenal imo and at the end when you had him on the turn table with CW Obi and the phase 1 clone....perfect resaon to have him for displaying like that! 👍👍👊👊
Jesus wept Natey! Saw this on the stream and thought the package was duffed up but that looks like it's been driven over, shit on, then rolled over again... Still haven't got my preorder yet but your review is excellent and has made me order a further 2. What a cracking figure! Couldn't care less whether it's accurate or not. This dude is going with the red clones in my collection. Goooo Red clones!!!! (and go sports!!)
Second preorder confirmed! Don't actually know why I didn't order 3 in the first place. Probably because this preorder is bloody months and months old and I wasn't doing the RULE OF THREE!!!!
I just got this today. Saw him for £16.95 here in the UK. Looks awesome. I may add some extra paint detail, and make him look more like the colour scheme of Echo, added red & grey to the atmour.
I personally am only as upset with them using the echo arc mold because they literally had the parts to make a more accurate version already you know? I mean looking at the TVC which isn’t perfect either, they could’ve used the normal clone mold with the arc echo arms, the Captain Rex Pauldron which isn’t perfect but is closer. A new pound Ron piece wouldn’t have killed them to make though. And a skirt like bly that is soft goods and goes all the way around the back and still has holsters form the belt. All the elements are there to be more accurate than this and be closer to what TVC did but they did this instead. This would’ve been great in a different release, not on the micro series card where you literally see what it’s supposed to look like. Looks cool overall I just wish it was the way I described it haha. Great review!
I totally get it and I agree it should match what’s on the box! However I’m still stoked to have a badass phase 1 arc trooper. Thanks for watching! -Nate
One of the benefits of Hasbro going to no plastic packaging, AND THIS IS THE ONLY BENEFIT I’LL EVER ADMIT, is that I won’t give a flying rat’s arse anymore about Walmart exclusives and having to worry about getting a decent carded figure in either scale. The days of fighting with Walmart’s horrible packaging will be over, as nothing from Hasbro will ever be worth collecting in a package. So that means just ordering one figure from now on from Walmart, Target, Amazon, etc. as I’ll be opening every figure up and trashing the packaging (that’s funny, trashing trashed packaging from Walmart). I’m sorry your Arc Trooper showed up like that. Not surprised though….🤦🏻♂️. Anyway, thanks for the review. It’s too bad Hasbro just repainted the blue Arc Echo we got from Target and this looked nothing like Fordo from Tartakovsky. At least the artwork on the bubble/card was cool (as long as one got an in-box keeper). And I agree with you, it still looks great on my shelf with my other Phase I Clones….😁 It’s been a sad week re: the death of Hasbro’s packaging. And then they announced another price hike coming. I hope you guys still keep the channel running a year or so from now even though there’s a risk it might all come crumbling down like a house of cards…🤷🏻♂️.
That's actually a point I haven't really thought of before! Can't worry about the bubble/cardback being destroyed from Walmart if there is no bubble and you're gonna throw it out anyway. Thanks for checking out the review, MarkyD! I think that "additional" price hike was actually just a scare. I thought I saw that it was meant for their tabletop games and such. -Justin
Got my Arc trooper and grievous from Walmart a while back and haven’t opened them. I want to but the packaging is just too good to open, I plan on getting another one of each to open. Great to see a review from you!
Fantastic review Nate! I wish I would have ordered this one. I didn't order any of these because they just showed the cartoon images and not actual product shots. I will get this if and when they restock though. I love this new clone body and will buy anything that uses it.
Either I forgot or just never noticed before, but I see my man Nate is a Kamen Rider fan! A rare site, lol. Love the SIC Kuuga, man. 🔥 And great review as always, just got my Black Series Fordo today!
It's a cool figure, So far I've been lucky WM mailing my figs in a box. Waiting for Grievous to ship and Mace to be restocked. I hope the blue Arc trooper gets made. Froy👍
I’ve had mostly good experiences until the TVC and BS clone wars figures. I’ve gotten most of them in mailers but even these were in a box and still got crushed. Thanks for watching Froilan! -Nate
I am trying something new with Walmart. I called customer support and told them my packages keep arriving trashed. I asked them to add notes on my orders to pack them safely and neatly. They did it so I have the arc trooper and grevious coming in. Hopefully it works out
Mine are still delayed even tho i preordered immediately... I was able to buy one off a coworker who ordered 6 of them and sold me one that was damaged packaging... Maybe mine are sitting in a crate along with mace...
So far I don’t think they have hit stores. Grievous has restocked once already on Walmarts website so keep your eyes peeled! Thanks for watching! -Nate
I have a question, is the helmet removable? I see on my own arc trooper that there is a head inside, it has a chin and I can see its sculpted ears, so It looks like the helmet can be removed. can it actually be removed or is it just for extra detail?
Your generation has put these clone figures up to ridiculous prices.A black series Rex in the UK is £150.Thats over 200 bucks.Its becoming a bit of a con now.When you compare them to McFarlane figures,which are bigger,better looking and cheaper.
The figure as a standard ARC. trooper looks amazing! As a phase 1 fordo not so much. Either way the figure has definitely grown on me, ill definitely pick it up if he gets a restock.
@@OutOfTheBasement me too, I grew up with both of the clone wars shows and have been trying to track down all the exclusive and hasbro, Walmart, and target have made it a nightmare.
WOW,Walmart need shooting for sending out figures very poorly packed, i know we may be openers but its the principle.Superb looking figure Nate, it looks much better than what i was anticipating, love the red, i was going to pass on the figure but you have me sold on one now, awesome.Great review Nate
Yeah I was really not happy when I opened the box. But I definitely think you should get one of these! I’m having a lot of fun with it so far! Thanks as always for watching Boba! -Nate
I already didn't like that it's lazy and inaccurate, I didn't like how they left a bunch of details left white, but I didn't realize they didn't even paint the wrist rocket thing, just straight red. Like really 🫤 Hasbro really is a love hate relationship, sometimes they make crazy cool really good stuff, like Arc trooper Echo and ROTJ Boba Fett other times it's complete garbage like Sev and Cob Vanth
Yeah it’s not the best but I think just looking at it as a phase 1 arc trooper there is still a lot to love! Atleast for me. Thanks for watching Axel! -Nate

Great review! honestly he looks sick wish his blaster pistols were like the show but it’s always great to have more arcs especially phase 1s.
I would have loved those as well! I may pick up a pair from John Walker Customs soon. Thanks for watching! -Nate
He came with the phase 2 armor tho

Nice review Nate! Mine came in a bubble mailer but wasn’t damaged as bad as yours. On a positive they shipped Mace and Grevious in boxes.
Nice! Glad yours arrived in better shape then mine. My grievous was shipped in a mailer and was also bent. Bummer. Thanks for watching! -Nate
Nice review nate, i live in the UK and i pre-ordrered mine back in july 2021, and still haven’t received it! Hopefully soon
Fingers crossed! Thanks for watching! -Nate
The comparison with the phase one clone looked really good, now I honestly do want him

The helmet is glued on, not meant to come off. The reason a sculpted head is in there is to help with proportions! -Justin
@@OutOfTheBasement thank you for the information! If I didn’t know this I would have ripped of the entire head lol
I have a question, what stand do you use to rotate the figures around? Always wanted to know but never asked.
It’s called the leadleds 360 degree turntable display stand. It’s like $20 on Amazon! Thanks for watching! -Nate
Dies the helmet come off? There is a head mold inside
There is a head in there cast in flesh-tone plastic, but the helmet is glued on. -Justin
