The original from 2013 predates Hasbro's thigh-swivel joints, so you'll have to settle for acceptable ball-hinged hips that still allow for pretty good range. Hasbro also painted the soles of the boots and added a little dirt to their sides - a nice touch, and very much appreciated given the price.Īrticulation is the same as it ever was - good for the time. Thankfully you've got a Phase II helmet to throw over the head to hide the bad hair plugs. The hairline is a smidgen off, you can see the borders of the hair were left flesh color. The human head has more paint, with a more lively skin tone, painted lips, and glossy eyes. The backs of the hands have similarly subtle markings. Instead of black streaks, there are very subtle worn-off spots on the shins and shoulders that look like production defects at first glance. What impresses me the most are how the 2019 release handles weathering. The 2019 version also has a "hyper real" face painted under the helmet, arguably making it the most accurate (but still incorrect) release. It adds a grey belt, but also incorrectly adds a grey belly paint application. The 2019 release adds more forearm markings, but removes the battle damage. The international release added black battle-damage, and the shoulders and shins.
The 2013 US release was off-model, missing mot of the grey markings on the figure's shoulders, shins, and forearms.
Commentary: Since this mold debuted with this deco in The Black Series, the 41st Elite Corps Clone Trooper has now been sold in at least three significant paint variations all over the world.
