Wrecker (Deluxe) — Star Wars The Black Series #TBB 05

Overview

Wrecker at #TBB 05 closes the TBB Collection’s opening five on its biggest figure — the enhanced strength specialist of Clone Force 99, the clone whose mutation amplified his physical power beyond any standard trooper’s capacity, who picks up what others can’t move and destroys what others can’t break. Blaster and explosives. 19 joints. $29.99 deluxe. 2021. The TBB Collection’s first premium figure, and the personality of the squad.

Blaster and explosives. $29.99 deluxe. The squad’s muscle.

Wrecker and Clone Force 99’s Heart

The Bad Batch is a series about found family — clones who didn’t fit the standard mould finding each other and protecting each other, and eventually protecting Omega. Wrecker is the squad’s emotional heart in the specific sense that his enthusiasm and his straightforwardness are the clearest expressions of what Clone Force 99 feels rather than thinks. He loves explosions. He loves his squad. He is the character through whom the series expresses uncomplicated joy in a story that doesn’t have much room for uncomplicated joy.

The explosives accessory communicates this immediately — Wrecker’s primary tool is the thing he is most enthusiastic about. The blaster is the secondary weapon, available when the explosives aren’t the right tool (which is, from Wrecker’s perspective, far fewer situations than Hunter thinks it is).

The Deluxe Pricing and Wrecker’s Scale

At $29.99, the Wrecker deluxe follows the same logic as Kelnacca and Savage Opress before it: physical scale requires the deluxe format to achieve at quality. Wrecker’s enhanced strength mutation comes with the enhanced physique to match — he is the largest human-scale figure in the TBB Collection’s opening five, and the deluxe format enables the proportions the character requires.

The specific production investment the deluxe covers here is more than just scale: Wrecker’s gear — the specific armour modifications, the explosive loadout attachments, the combat accessories that his strength-focused role requires — adds production complexity beyond a standard figure at the standard price.

19 Joints and the Strength Specialist’s Display

The 19-joint scheme enables the strength specialist’s specific poses: the wide-armed brace position of a figure about to lift something heavy, the two-handed detonator-raise of someone preparing to detonate, the combat lunge of a close-quarters fighter whose primary weapon is his own physique. The butterfly shoulders allow the forward-reaching arm extension that communicates Wrecker in action.

The Opening Five Complete

With Wrecker at #TBB 05, the TBB Collection’s opening five covers the complete core Bad Batch squad: Hunter (#01) as leader, Crosshair (#02) as sniper, and the supporting character and antagonist layer covered by the Elite Squad Trooper (#03), Tech (#04), and Wrecker (#05). All five figures at $19.99-$29.99 standard retail. All five 2021 releases.

Our Verdict

Wrecker at #TBB 05 closes the TBB Collection’s opening five on its most physical figure and its most exuberant personality. The deluxe $29.99 reflects his scale and his gear. The explosives accessory is the most Wrecker-specific prop in the collection. Buy him alongside the rest of Clone Force 99. The squad is not the squad without Wrecker.

Wrecker and the Found Family Argument

The Bad Batch is a found family story in the most literal sense — clones who didn’t fit anywhere finding each other, and then finding Omega, and the series spending three seasons testing whether that family can survive the Empire’s formation. Wrecker is the character who makes the family feel most like a family: his specific enthusiasm, his uncomplicated love for his squad members, his tendency to express everything in terms of explosives and physical capability.

The figure at #TBB 05 is Wrecker at his operational peak — the explosives ready, the blaster at hand, the enhanced physique rendered at deluxe scale. Display him at the centre of the opening five Bad Batch figures and the squad has its emotional anchor.

The Opening Five as Complete Squad Display

Hunter (#TBB 01), Crosshair (#TBB 02), Elite Squad Trooper (#TBB 03 for the antagonist opposition), Tech (#TBB 04), and Wrecker (#TBB 05): the TBB Collection’s opening five create the core Bad Batch display — the squad with five figures at the same 2021 production standard, all standard retail, the complete Clone Force 99 core alongside their Imperial antagonist counterpart. The display begins here. Wrecker closes it with the explosives that he has been ready to detonate since the first episode.

Wrecker at $29.99 deluxe with the explosives accessory is the TBB Collection’s most personality-complete figure — the clone whose enthusiasm for his work is communicated by the thing he’s most enthusiastic about.
