Yay, another clone! Oh boy, oh boy, oh waitaminute... I don't collect clones. :monkey2

Seriously, though. All of the clones do look awesome, and I love seeing pics of them all together in collections. :peace

That's funny I wasn't even referring to it in comparison to what he actually should look like. But yeah, after seeing those images the helmet does seem a bit off.

This one will be a pass... cool to see more versions being made, but I'm at my limit on Clones :lecture

Did anyone else have this happen? I had a pop up window open when I initially clicked on the link for the product. Took me to a black window saying "You can now find this item in our store" and had 2 buttons, one for the regular and one for the exclusive, although when I clicked on them they were the reverse of what they should be and were missing photos. Price was $134.99. Exclusive was another stand (which I forget what it said) but they both come with a different stand that said something about Coruscant. If I would have know what I was seeing I would have taken a screen shot. Seems like I also had the ability to add to cart. I backed for some reason. couldn't get back in. This is also happening for the "Don't Be afraid of the Dark" Diorama.

No, no stay. Don't get me wrong Pix, I love ALL of my SW purchases and I do agree that they need to have a better mix of just clone after clone but this is a solid release. And I don't know why we haven't seen Obi-Wan yet. Oh wait, yes I do because he is going to come with a needless light up saber. 10 bucks says TPM Obi-Wan wil top out at 2 hundee. Yup!

I think the helmet is probably Ok and it's the angle that makes it look different (looking down and to the side of it a little instead of straight on). He'll be the same price as bacara $135. He's the last commander from the movies so I'm getting him to complete the collection, end of story. :yess:

For those who don't like the clones understand 1) that their probably a cash cow for SS and keeping them profitable and in business. 2) At some point (and sooner rather than later) they'll run out of new one to make. :peace

On running out...no way, not with the plethora of designs coming out of the clone wars...in fact commander wolf in season 4 has a similar helmet to neyo.
Also anyone else notice the two black bolt thingys on the face plate similar to season 4 Rex's mod helmet?...never noticed these on neyo .

04-19-2012, 06:39 PM
So Sideshow is actually completing a series of something in the SW line....all of the "on screen" Clone Commanders from ROTS....that's pretty cool....and it'll make one sweet looking display.

Neyo and our beehive buddy make it a pretty good week for Clone collectors....

Looking forward to a full gallery next week....

The jaw is really off, IMHO. Looks like an exaggerated Popeye jaw. Kinda liked the look of these guys in the movie (except the symbols on their helmet remind me a bit too much of Cobra...), but I'd say this is the first clone from Sideshow that I just don't like the look of. Hopefully they fix the helmet because even if I bought clones, I wouldn't pick Neyo up in his current state.

Incidently, agree with OutLander that the clones being a cashcow for Sideshow is probably a good thing for everyone in the hobby. If they didn't have clones, I'm guessing some of the unique characters would never get made or would be at a higher price point.

Craig77
04-19-2012, 07:09 PM
The helmet does have a few issues, the visor is to narrow at either end,
the breating apparatus is to big as in the file pic there is actual white around the black mouth piece, and the lower jaw is too wide "fat". Not overly pleased with the sculpt...this must be fixed.
Hopefully this is not the final product as has been discussed going forward we will see upon reveal.

OutLander
04-19-2012, 07:17 PM
On running out...no way, not with the plethora of designs coming out of the clone wars...

I'm thinking they'll be a big drop off in demand for non movie clones and that although they'll produce them (clone wars clones) they'll be longer times between releases compared to now.

04-19-2012, 09:22 PM
Cool, I'll have to get it because I love the clones, but his bucket is soooo messed up. As others have pointed out, the goggles are incorrectly shaped, the jawline looks like someone heated it and bloated it, and how could they get that far off on the face that they basically made the nose section under the glasses totally gone, it looks like a crack now instead of an area of visor, to me thats the worst part, cause I can't reform something that bad and its part of the unique look of the 91st biker helms. I don't know where the sculptor sourced this head, because GG heck even hasbro mini figs all get this correct. Maybe the sculptor did this from memory and has a bad memory. :monkey2

All the people complaining that "another clone" has been made, should be actually thankful..."another clone" pays for the single use Yoda 1/6 tooling, pays for the single use Hammerhead 1/6 tooling, and pays for the single use Chewbacca 1/6 tooling that they are working on. Clones pay the bills so the special figs get made.

Yoda / Chewie COST Sideshow Money....Clones MAKE Sideshow money....

You need repeats to pay for one of a kinds!

There will soon be Snowtroopers and then there will be Galactic Marines and after will come Biker Scouts...and then Kayshyyk Troopers...then hopefully Max Rebo Band!

Well, clones got me into the SW line and the bulk of my SW collection is made up of clones and if I had my way Sideshow would put out a new clone each month. :lol

But, I'm not going to _____ about people _____ing (seems kinda silly)about not wanting more clones. I just try to be a little sympathetic and understand how frustrating it would be if nothing I ever looked forward to got made.

I hear ya. When you think about the clones there's really no excuse for not getting them spot on. They were all computer generated, it's simply a matter of using the existing cg models and using a 3d printer and voila, perfect clone armour.

They could have made this a double hitter and had a stripped clone version at a lower price or move into a DX lineup where he comes with the Speeder. I'm sure I'd groan about the price, but I could not pass up a speeder.

the same thing happened to me except I was able to see the pics and I was able to place an order, although I didn't "confirm" it.

the exclusive base looks "ok" and for those who asked, that is how I know the price.

I was done with these at Bacara so I have no interest, but the helmet looks like photography is its problem. If it's not, it's crazy distorted.

Either way, it would be nice if this was the last for a while. Clones aren't the only troopers whose sales would be capable of supporting the line.

We pissed on it when it was Kit Fisto was the umpteenth Jedi in a row. Clones are getting old. . . . hell, they got old about 5 Clones ago. I'm pretty sure there's been more Clones than there's been Iron Mans and Batmans put together.

-Mk I
-Mk III BD
-Mk III GMG
-Mk IV
-Mk V
-Mk VI
-Mk IV SV
-Mk II AU
-Mk I 2.0

you're at 13. I don't count the Gantry since that's a re-release without any tooling or War Machine variations.

That's true. But it was deliberate of Lucas for the toy sales. Change the color, slap on a new name, make some random history... bingo, another must-have figure. He's been at it since ROTJ.

I don't mind clones personally as I do believe they help pay for more complicated figures but I wish they'd offer more figures more often, like a clone and someone else every month. I wouldn't buy them all of course at that rate, but it would get me to the few figures I do want much faster.

The helmet is messed up, at any angle its the wrong visor and theres a missing nose area, the jaw looks very distorted, which could be an angle issue, but its not like thats the only issue. Looking at a picture and having the knowledge and intelligence to recognize something is wrong has nothing to do with him joining a choir at all.

I want to see the helmet in another shot. The picture we've been given looks like its shot from below, which will make the jaw look larger with respect to the rest of the helmet.

That's a helluva lot of Iron Mans, even at 13.

Tell me about it, i've been waiting for some new franchises from Hot Toys, and they announce them get my excited and a year and a half later and not one figure, bunch more Iron Man though :slap

They show you one pic, from a weird angle, and you're already joining the quire of "..WRONG HELMET!!.." ?

Give them a chance to fully show it, geez...

I reserve judgement til the pics/specs! Though sicne i've got 3/5, i think i'll snag Gree and Neyo to complete the team.

Iron man is one character, all the clones are different characters- so the large numbers are necessary....do people who collect WWII figures complain Too many Ally soldiers? Nope they don't.

:exactly:

They are Armoured figures from the same franchise :dunno

Add up all the figures from that same license and it's in the early twenties :slap

This is NOT a good thing but Hot Toys figures cost so much that when I buy a Sideshow figure it feels like such a price break that things like the helmet don't bother me. I agree that Sideshow could/should fix it but SSC figures feel so much cheaper I'm willing to let it pass. That is a sad commentary on how much pricing in this hobby has gotten out of control.

04-21-2012, 07:32 PM
I can accept the jaw thing as an optical illusion, I've actually seen other Neyo items where he looked fat jawed from certain angles.

But, I don't think its being overly critical to ask that he get the correct goggles that he wears in the movie (flatbacked not pointed in the corners)
and fix his nose bridge so it looks like he has his visor area below the goggles rather than just making it a seam.

AND if more pics come out and everything is all super good, did it really matter that we pointed out what we thought were flaws?

I will still be buying him, Clones are what brought me into collecting and are still my favorites, people don't like my attention to detail, tough.

I just don't have much of a connection to this style of helmet. I didn't notice it being different when I first saw the film so it never really "stuck" with me like some of the other Clone variants.

What about the Shock Trooper, Utapa Clone, Utapau Shadow Clone, 501st and the Grey Clone??

The Grey Clone was classified as a 41st Elite, which was Gree's command, his command also included the BARC Troopers on Kashyyyk.

The Shocktroopers were under the command of Commander Thire, the thing is that his armor didn't look any different than the rest.

The 501st was under the command of Commander Appo who's armor again didn't look any different.

Utapaun Shadowtroopers were made up for toy purposes and while there are small writeups about them, no commander is mentioned.

Utapau is Cody, Grey is Gree (so is green I guess?), I have yet to see a shock trooper (would buy some of those) even with that guess there is no commander for them? Where is the love for Rex, Bly, and now Neyo. Let's go guys into battle, Huh? Just me and my big guns.....

The Green are the 442nd Siege Battalion. They were another strictly made up for toy piece I believe. Again write ups are there but nothing noting a Commander for them.

I could see SSC going the "ARC Trooper" route for the troops without Commanders and creating them with LFL approval.

This should be the last of their Film Commanders

Depends. The last real notable one but through the Commanders who didn't have direct variations like Thire or Appo, both in ROTS even though it had to be pointed out, I could see them using that as a way to reissue the Shock or the 501st under a Commander's name.

The Grey Clone was classified as a 41st Elite, which was Gree's command, his command also included the BARC Troopers on Kashyyyk.

The Shocktroopers were under the command of Commander Thire, the thing is that his armor didn't look any different than the rest.

The 501st was under the command of Commander Appo who's armor again didn't look any different.

Utapaun Shadowtroopers were made up for toy purposes and while there are small writeups about them, no commander is mentioned.

The Green are the 442nd Siege Battalion. They were another strictly made up for toy piece I believe. Again write ups are there but nothing noting a Commander for them.

I could see SSC going the "ARC Trooper" route for the troops without Commanders and creating them with LFL approval.



Depends. The last real notable one but through the Commanders who didn't have direct variations like Thire or Appo, both in ROTS even though it had to be pointed out, I could see them using that as a way to reissue the Shock or the 501st under a Commander's name.



Toy line or movie line still the same. It's like any army you have your colors and they have theirs (or flags). All I wish they would do is give them someone to command. I love the commanders (in more ways then one, rank) but with nothing but officers. I know someone is going to nuke me for this. I am ok with the prices of the commanders but give me $90 faceless troopers so I can send them in to be killed off.


Will I stop buying them, ya right who am I joking. Drugs would be cheaper. But I'm to cheap to do drugs.

Last count on the 3.75 line I have over 500 clones, jedi (well sith really) but in those numbers I have commanders, troopers, jedi (that are not sith), etc. I'm not sure if I am getting my point across or not?


BTW I thought the 501 was really Rex and Vader Troopers? Still like them.

Rex's whereabouts are unknown by the end of the Clone Wars, although he is probably gone because Appo was ranked below him in Season 4 of TCW-He is in the Krell episodes (as a lieutenant if im not mistaken). But Yes the 501st which Rex is a captain of and by ROTS Appo is the commander of are Anakin/Vader's troops

Seems like the trend to have a Jedi General accompany a clone commander. I bet a Stass Allie jedi figure has already been asked by collectors many times before since the Commander Neyo preview. So do you think Sideshow Collectibles will do it?

I like the gallery of shots in this week's production blog for Neyo, especially the last two group shots...helps show the helmet isn't that enlarged when compared to his commanding counterparts - just styled differently.

So....both Bacara and Neyo lose the separate "un-helmeted" clone portraits, but jump in price. Ah well...

Those group shots also show how cool these commanders look together...

Yeah shame we couldn't get a generic Clone portrait head included with them. It would just add another "dimension" to the figure, or we could use it on another Clone.

Since Gree has the Coruscant clones out, Cody has his 212th clone troops, when Neyo hits his troops look exactly like him, that would leave Bly needing a Star Corps trooper and Bacara needing a Galactic Marine. I don't think asking for the commanders on screen troops is a big stretch and I'd also like to see Gree revisited and get his 41st in Kashyyyk gear. :slap As it is, if I had a 41st trooper (I'd take one at a good price) I'd probably put him with Cody rather than Gree since Cody is the only Commander on screen with the 41st Elites.

Vonhahn
04-25-2012, 05:46 AM
I love clones, I will buy this one. That said, the price is going a bit far, aside from the new helmet and the shoulder strap from Bacara(and Airborne) there is nothing more than a 89.99 trooper, so why 134.99? if it was 109.99 I wouldn't say a word, but this is getting crazy, if they have a name they cost more apparently.

This is my problem with this figure. No portrait....same flupping gear.....why pistols and no holsters......and $45 flipping dollars more??

I cant justify this......

THX-182
04-25-2012, 05:55 AM
Yeah the price is kinda crappy. Same with Bacara. I'd have been fine with them making up a clone portrait to go along with Neyo and Bacara. Even just a generic haircut they could have recycled for the inevitable Jango they'll do. Cody, Bly, Rex and Gree got one and were cheaper. Hell, Cody and Rex came with more stuff too, right?

devilof76
04-25-2012, 06:02 AM
It wouldn't surprise me if they decided Neyo (like Bacara) would bring potentially fewer sales than Cody, Bly and Gree. Thus, no portrait, higher price, and likely a lower edition size.

Has Bacara's been posted?

Multiple reasons. They have tweaked sculpts, they have forced differences based on idealized appeals. The same reason why even though we saw Boba Fett as the clone of Jango we didn't get an aged Jango sculpt or something with SSC's offering. Even if they wanted to, LFL didn't. Vice versa happens as well I'm sure where SSC doesn't want but LFL forces an issue.

Remember they came out with the Droids 1st then the STAP (later, Sept?). So putting him out then his bike would work. Unless they sell him and his bike at the same time, just to piss people off.

Why I do not care to much for the bike. I like this clone and I can see buying it. Unless it cost more then the Batpod in that case I will by that in its place.

There's no difference, just wondering if folks were going to troop build with him. I'm on the fence because if it weren't for lfl rushing to complete the film, Neyo would likely had troops who at least didn't have the sash. Maybe that's what you do, pick a few up and take the sash off and go for an "off camera" look.

They still look different to me, but it's probably just the angle of his head. If the template is identical, then it's identical. I'm surprised that the design is complex enough that its planes have so much variety with only a minor turn of the head.
