Where to begin! First of all that black backdrop was fantastic. All the white armor pieces simply popped. The magnetic backpack is definitely my favorite feature but that surprise display option near the end was a fantastic feature they didn't have to include! I also liked how you showed options with the older Sideshow clones so the veteran collectors can still perhaps make use of them with some bits of the new sets. I didn't realize the subtle difference in the Phase 1 mouth sections but yeah, the thinner Sidesow one looks a bit better to me as well. Cheers on your expanding Battlalion!

The Phase I helmet is definitely larger. However, I think it sticks out more due to the slimmer frame of the body. The Sideshow body is broader around the chest and shoulder areas. Even in photos, Phase I clones are broader in those areas as well. I still don’t think it’s enough of an issue not to use them tho.

The phase one helmets were always too top-heavy/bobbleheaded even in the films. They don't have the gas mask stuff to optically flow the head down onto the shoulders like the OT troopers did. Hence the updates with all sorts of colours/designs to rebalance them. And then there's the cartoon. But the design is the design and these look pretty amazing/accurate! Love the ageing/deco!

Hi Justin! This is a great figure with great box art and I noticed he has the Tano (332nd) design on his helmet. I can’t believe that this figure comes with three helmets!!! The base is nice and generous sized. I guess the tag might be worth something because it will be rare? That deluxe version is incredible!!! So many helmets, it’s too good. I can’t get over how cool this is. The backpack is nice as well, I do recall the clone troopers wearing them and it’s a nice perk, it’s a great idea to store the accessories in the back pack. I’m in love with that cool looking jet pack, it’s so nice looking and I think this figure is really special because it has so many cool accessories. And a rocket launcher too! It’s such a great selection of gear that having 2 of these figures you could start up an incredible melee and pose it any way you like. The figure overall is perfect, it looks authentic and the blue color is nice. With the phase 1 helmet he looks great, the proportions seem ok to me. I love the design on the chest piece, it has a great 3-d quality and the wear and dirt on it looks right. I love the phase 2 look and it looks more complete. The Tano helmet is great too and I think it’s such a bonus to have it. Most of the time I’ve seen the clones without gear on their back but for season 7 we saw them with so many accessories that we are all expecting to see the jet packs and backpacks on them so I think they look ideal with the gear. Youre definitely are getting your money’s worth here. Thanks fir the video 😊💎

Clone trooper nerd here: you’re absolutely right about the armor markings on the chest not being accurate for the phase 1 501st trooper, but the helmet markings are also inaccurate for that. The only canonical references we have for phase 1 501st grunts are from the clone wars, as well as the skin in Star Wars: Battlefront 2 (2017) and in both, the markings on the torso are as you explained, but the helmet also looks different, having blue trims along the visor, rather than the iconic 501st stripe across the face.

The Clone Wars tv show is a more important reference as a game. The show clearly showed that most 501st Phase 1 clones had no markings and were essentially Shinies. Only named characters had blue markings like Denal. You could make a case that there could be a blue marked clone looking like in EAs Battlefront 2 as the same type of markings but in different colors have apparently been a staple early in the war as the 41st Elite had green troopers and the 212th orange troopers with that paint scheme in TCW, but outside of optional skins in a game a blue variant never appeared which would make it about as canonical as the purple 187th Mace Windu clones from an action figure set which have been overridden by the new TCW episodes showing dark red marked clones of a unique paint scheme.
