What do you think of the new clone body coming out?

[SPLIT LIP]

For those not up to speed Clone Commander Stone (the senate commander from "Gungan General") will be seeign a figure release for Clone Wars, and he features a new, more accurate clone body.

Here's a link to a nice big picture of Stone from Rebelscum.

And here's a picture from the same site of the old Clone trooper body for comparison.

The changes concern the helmet (which was actually changed as far back as wave 3, I believe) the torso, the upper and lower legs, the elbows, shoulders and feet. Basically he's an all-new figure. (actually, that's exactly what he is) I just wanted to see what other Clone Wars collectors thought about it.

Personally, I'm split. On the one hand, it's great to have a sculpt much more accurate, no, damn-near dead-on to what we've seen since Episode one of the awesome TV series, but on the other, all these clones I have are now goign to be blatantly inaccurate or at least substancially different when I start collecting these new clones.

So what about you guys?

I agree with your point, however personally I don't mind. I think they would still go well together... If they start redoing already-released chars, then that's when I'll get a big big headache.

There's defiantly a difference, but for me it isn't huge. I will have no problem displaying these next to my current figures, I doubt I will even notice. They had better not go back and re-release all the olds ones with the new body though.

Also, most of my current clones don't fit together 100% anyways due mostly to changes to the helmets, the different styles of helmets and the way the visors are painted.

I agree! There is a difference, but nothing all that huge and I really don`t think it`ll be all that noticable when they are displayed together.

I am actually really looking forward to the Commander Stone figures release here in Canada!

^ How much did you get your Fox and Stone for?!

[StarwarsTF]

Zuffyprime from cybertron.ca picked up a couple of Fox's for me when they were at Target way back ($10 each) and I got stone off ebay for less than $12 (wrong description)

I don't mind the changes. I don't think it makes a huge difference really. He looks like he blends in well. I just wish they would add balljointed hips if they're going to go to the lengths of bothering to do a whole new sculpt.

Can't wait to add Stone to my collection! New body or not, it's not noticable and he looks great!!! Think I'll put him right between my Target Exclusive Fox and Toys R Us Exclusive Ponds!!!

I have no doubts that he looks great, and I'm greatly looking forward to getting him so my Corusant troops can have a CO.

I do have a question for StarwarsTF: is the head sculpt on Stone the same head as Rex?
