Hi folks,
This week we're gonna take a look at one of my Star Wars 3-3/4" figures. This is especially a favourite of mine. He's a clone trooper from the 442nd Siege Battalion. Now, despite the fact that the soldiers used in the Grand Army of the Republic are all clones, we have to take note that George Lucas has tried to make them more individuals especially since Star Wars: Attack of the Clones.
I kinda like the idea that these guys are not just mindless troops following the orders of the Republic. Some of the clones have adopted names instead of just their serial no. For e.g. Captain Rex and Commander Cody. In spirit of this, I've decided to give this fella the name, Clone Trooper Ajin.
