The disciplined leader of the 212th Attack Battalion marched into the premium tier of The Vintage Collection in 2010 as part of the initial Wave 2 launch. This "Foil" variant of Commander Cody (CC-2224) features the same definitive Revenge of the Sith sculpt as the standard release but is distinguished by the limited-edition silver foil packaging. Released to celebrate the return of the vintage-style cardbacks, this chase variant became an immediate priority for "mint-on-card" collectors seeking to complete the rarest subset of the early TVC run.
Technical Details & Sculpt
- Design & Commander Silhouette: The sculpt features specialized Phase II clone armor, complete with Cody’s unique command modifications. This includes the integrated sun visor on the helmet, the shoulder-mounted antenna, and the distinct jetpack-compatible backplate. The figure captures his rigid, professional posture, looking every bit the tactical veteran of the Battle of Utapau.
- Deco & 212th Markings: The 2010 release is defined by its vibrant orange unit markings. The paint application features the geometric patterns of the 212th Attack Battalion, applied with sharp precision. Subtle battle-damage scuffs and a light weathering wash are applied to the boots and lower legs, suggesting a commander who leads from the front lines of a dusty battlefield.
- Articulation: Featuring premium TVC articulation, including ball-jointed shoulders, elbows, and knees. The specialized "rocker" ankles and ball-jointed hips are essential for this figure, allowing Cody to achieve a deep "command" crouch or to be posed mid-sprint while relaying orders.
- Display Utility: While many choose to keep this foil variant sealed, the figure itself is the mandatory "officer" for any Order 66 diorama. He is best positioned alongside Obi-Wan Kenobi (VC103) or leading a squad of 212th Clone Troopers.
Accessories & Equipment
Commander Cody comes prepared for full-scale planetary invasion with a versatile loadout. He includes his signature DC-15S blaster carbine, featuring a dark metallic finish. A standout feature of this release is the removable helmet, which reveals a realistically sculpted head featuring the distinct facial scars and close-cropped hair of the Jango Fett clones. Additionally, the figure includes a miniature holographic projector with a tiny, translucent blue Darth Sidious figure, allowing collectors to recreate the chilling "Execute Order 66" moment on Utapau.
