The 2023 Walmart-exclusive Echo (Mercenary Gear) captures the tactical evolution of Clone Force 99’s most cybernetically enhanced member during their Season 2 shift into full-time mercenary work. Echo’s Season 1 armor — bright, angular, and militaristic — gives way to a darker, more survivalist aesthetic that reflects the squad’s new life on the run.
This version of Echo is a significant retool of the 2022 figure. The silhouette is transformed by the soft‑goods poncho, which drapes naturally and adds a grounded, nomadic presence. Beneath the poncho, the armor is darker and more subdued, with muted greys, blacks, and red accents that match the Bad Batch’s mercenary palette. The helmet features updated deco, including darker lenses and a more tactical finish.
Echo’s accessory loadout is intentionally minimal — a blaster pistol for emergencies and a backpack that reflects his Season 2 field‑tech role. The removable helmet completes the mercenary silhouette, while the poncho adds depth and texture to any display.
As a Walmart exclusive, this figure became one of the most important Bad Batch releases of 2023, completing the Season 2 mercenary lineup alongside Hunter, Wrecker, Tech, and Omega.
