![]() Like I said, the poncho is mostly good, but I would recommend keeping the hood folded down. Not matter how good they are, hoods never look realistic, and the out of scale folds in the material are always distracting. Anyway, despite (mostly) falling into that rerelease category, this Clone Captain Rex figure represents his essential appearance from the recent first season of. I am not a soft goods supporter, and this is the primary reason why. The hood is pretty weak in terms of the shape and ability to function naturally. I am not sure why you would want to remove it as you can get the base Rex figure via several other releases. I am sure you COULD remove it, but I did not try very hard due to fear of damaging it, or not being able to get it back on. It is form-fitting, so I don’t think it is made to come off. This is mostly nice – it has some solid details and is made of a quality material, much more so than, say the Mace Windu and Obi-Wan cloaks. These ponchos are in high fashion in a galaxy far, far away. The most obvious update to this figure is the soft goods poncho, something the Star Wars universe has gotten a lot of mileage out of the past few years. I sure do hope that changes because when this line clicks, it is really good. They are so few and far between it is hard to keep the positive anticipation up. Don’t get me wrong, the new figures are GREAT, but that is what makes it even more difficult. How can Star Wars be boring? Well, they have somehow made it so, and it makes me sad. Of course I want new figures, and I am usually a pretty patient person, but: Star Wars figures are boring me, and that is shocking to say. I get it, SWB is not built on reuse like, say – Marvel Legends, so reissues are part of the game, but holy smokes those are far outweighing anything new as of late. So many card variations, Credit Collection repaints, and Carbonizations of existing figures do not have me excited in the least. Aside from the aforementioned shipping delays (and I’m not sure if Tech is EVER gonna join his team), the intermittent announcements for most of the new product have fallen completely flat with me. I am in a weird place with the Black Series right now.
