The 2023 Walmart-exclusive Hunter (Mercenary Gear) captures the tactical heart of Clone Force 99 during their Season 2 shift into full-time mercenary work. As the Empire tightens its grip on the galaxy, Hunter abandons the bright, militaristic armor of Season 1 in favor of a darker, more survivalist look — one built for stealth, mobility, and independence.
This version of Hunter is a significant retool of the 2021 figure. The silhouette is transformed by the soft‑goods poncho, which drapes naturally and gives Hunter a grounded, nomadic presence. The armor beneath is darker and more subdued, with muted greys, blacks, and red accents that reflect the Bad Batch’s new life on the run. The helmet is newly decoed to match the mercenary aesthetic, and the overall finish is more rugged and lived‑in.
Hunter’s accessory loadout is intentionally minimal — a knife for close‑quarters combat and a blaster pistol for tactical engagements. This reflects his Season 2 role as a stealth‑oriented leader rather than a front‑line brawler. 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 Wrecker, Tech, and Omega.
