A.R.Ms # 21: Star Wars, Clone Army Pt. 2

The Third Systems Army. A unit of the Grand Army of the Republic during the clone wars. It consisted of several battalions. One such battalion is the 212th Attack Battalion. You might remember in Episode III, the battle that took place in the Utapau system. This battalion, led by General Obi Wan Kenobi and Commander Cody took down Grievous and the Separatist army.

The 212th and now nicknamed "Utapau Clone Troopers" are distinguished by the orange markings on their armour.

Packaging

Out of all the figures below, Clone Commander Cody is the hardest figure to find due to his popularity among clone army builders such as myself.

The Airborne Trooper above is also available in blue and purple markings from various battle packs and like the one I showed in A.R.Ms #19.

The Utapau Shadow clone trooper is a re-pack of a ROTS packaging. They've included an exclusive black collectors coin. Even though this clone trooper was never shown is the Revenge of the Sith movie, behind the scenes story tells us that these clone troopers were the ones responsible in locating Grievous on Utapau.

Articulation

Despite the fact Cody is a great addition to ones collection, the articulation on this figure wasn't up to my expectations. No hinged ankles? No ball-jointed shoulders??

Pricing



While the other figures in this lot would cost you on average USD 9 to 15, Commander Cody is very sought after so expect to pay no less than USD 20 and it might even reach USD 40.
