Overview
Captain Rex in his Bad Batch configuration at #TBB 06 is the TBB Collection’s most articulated figure — 23 joints on a Walmart exclusive at $31.49, the Clone Wars veteran in the battered, worn armour of someone who removed his inhibitor chip before Order 66 and has been living outside the Empire’s reach ever since. Two blasters. The full dual-pistol loadout. The highest joint count in the entire 18-figure TBB Collection on the figure who earned every one of those years of wear.
23 joints. Two blasters. Walmart exclusive. $31.49.
Rex and His Post-Order 66 Existence
The Bad Batch introduces Captain Rex at the specific point in his life that The Clone Wars left him — post-chip removal, post-Order 66, living rough and refusing the Empire. The Bad Batch-era Rex carries the visual evidence of those intervening years: the armour is scratched and worn, the paint faded, the helmet bearing the marks of a soldier who has been doing this for a long time without the Republic’s supply lines to keep his gear maintained.
That specific wear communicates everything about Rex’s situation without any additional context. He didn’t surrender. He didn’t disappear. He kept going, in the armour he had, on the terms he could manage. The 23-joint figure at $31.49 is the Rex who has been surviving since Order 66 with no one to resupply him.
23 Joints: The TBB Collection’s Peak
At 23 joints — four above the 19-joint standard for the collection’s most articulated standard figures — Rex has the most complex joint scheme in the TBB Collection. The additional joints cover the bicep swivels and the elbow articulation points that the standard scheme doesn’t include, enabling the specific dual-pistol combat poses that Rex’s fighting style since the Clone Wars established as his signature.
The dual blasters at 23 joints enable: the cross-draw two-blaster raise, the wide-legged veteran’s combat stance, the one-handed pistol drop that communicates the specific ease of someone who has been fighting at this level for decades.
The Bad Batch-Era Rex vs Other Rex Configurations
Rex has been produced in multiple Phase 4 configurations across the TBB and TCW collections. The Bad Batch version is the most battle-worn — the armour with the most history visible on it, the Rex who has been through everything and is still standing. For collectors building a Rex timeline display, the Bad Batch version is the endpoint: the captain who survived the Clone Wars, survived Order 66, and is still operating in the armour he was given.

Our Verdict
Captain Rex at #TBB 06 is the TBB Collection’s articulation peak and one of its most emotionally significant figures — the Clone Wars veteran still fighting, in worn armour, at the highest joint count in the collection. 23 joints, $31.49, Walmart exclusive. Buy him.
Rex and Ahsoka: The Bad Batch Connection
Captain Rex’s appearance in The Bad Batch connects directly to his Siege of Mandalore arc — the clone who removed his chip, who helped Ahsoka escape Order 66, who has been living off the grid ever since. Displaying Rex from the TBB Collection alongside Ahsoka from either the TCW or TBB collections creates the specific relationship the Siege of Mandalore built: the captain and the former Padawan, both survivors of Order 66, both operating outside the Empire’s reach.
The 23-joint TBB Rex is the figure that captures Rex at this specific post-war moment — the captain without a Republic to serve, in armour he’s kept operational through maintenance rather than resupply, still fighting because stopping isn’t something he knows how to do.
The Worn Armour as Character Communication
Rex’s Bad Batch-era armour is Phase 4’s most carefully rendered worn-armour figure — the scratches, the paint fade, the specific damage patterns of equipment used hard for years without the facilities that the Republic would have provided. The worn armour is not a production shortcut; it is a character note. Rex’s armour tells you who he is in the post-war galaxy before the figure’s face is visible.
Captain Rex at 23 joints is the TBB Collection’s most technically impressive figure and its most character-historically weighted. The worn armour communicates the years between Order 66 and the Bad Batch era. The dual blasters communicate the captain who has been operating on his own terms since the chip came out. Walmart exclusive at $31.49. The highest joint count in the TBB Collection. Buy him.
Rex at #TBB 06 is the TBB Collection’s argument that the best Clone Wars figures carry the weight of the war they survived. The 23-joint scheme at the Walmart exclusive tier is the production investment that argument deserves. Buy him. Place him near Omega. The survivor and the child he helps protect.
Captain Rex. Twenty-three joints. The worn armour of a captain who removed his chip and kept fighting. The dual blasters of the clone who has been doing this since before most of the Bad Batch was activated. Walmart exclusive, $31.49. The TBB Collection’s peak articulation figure and its most historically weighted purchase.
Rex is the TBB Collection’s connection to everything the Clone Wars built and everything Order 66 destroyed. He survived because he made a choice before the choice was forced on him. The 23-joint figure in the battered armour is the physical form of that survival. Buy it. The TBB Collection’s highest joint count on the collection’s most historically significant clone figure.
Buy Captain Rex. He earned the 23 joints and the $31.49 and the worn armour through everything the Clone Wars put him through. The TBB Collection’s best single-character purchase.
The TBB Collection is the story of clones caught between two galaxies — the Republic that made them and the Empire that’s discarding them. Rex at #TBB 06 is the clone who found a third option: remove the chip, survive on his own terms, help where he can. Twenty-three joints and the worn armour of someone who chose that third option a long time ago. The collection is richer for having him.
