The rank-and-file backbone of the Grand Army of the Republic marched into The Vintage Collection in 2010 as part of the highly anticipated Wave 2. Representing the Clone Trooper in his Phase II armor as seen during the chaotic final act of Revenge of the Sith, this figure was a cornerstone of the early TVC line. It utilized the "all-white" clean aesthetic of the clones before they were assigned to specific regional battalions, providing collectors with the essential "blank slate" soldier necessary for building massive Republic infantries.
Technical Details & Sculpt
- Design & Phase II Silhouette: The sculpt features the refined, more aggressive Phase II armor plating, which bridged the gap between the original Clone Troopers and the Imperial Stormtroopers. The figure captures the streamlined helmet design and integrated life-support systems that characterized the clones during the Battle of Coruscant and Order 66.
- Deco & Finish: The 2010 release is defined by its pristine, high-gloss white finish. Unlike later weathered variants, this figure represents a fresh-off-the-line trooper. The black under-suit "body glove" is visible at the joints, providing a sharp contrast. The helmet features precise black and grey detailing on the visor and respirators, maintaining a clean, mass-produced military look.
- Articulation: Featuring premium TVC "super-articulation", including ball-jointed shoulders, elbows, and knees. The specialized ball-jointed hips and "rocker" ankles allow the trooper to achieve stable firing positions, whether kneeling in a defensive perimeter or advancing in a full-sprint assault.
- Display Utility: This is the mandatory "army builder" for any Republic Gunship or Jedi Temple diorama. He is best positioned in large squads or standing at attention behind Commander Cody (VC19).
Accessories & Equipment
The Phase II Clone Trooper comes prepared for high-intensity galactic warfare with a standard-issue Republic arsenal. He includes the DC-15S blaster carbine, the preferred weapon for close-quarters urban combat and boarding actions. For longer-range engagements, the figure also includes the DC-15A blaster rifle, featuring a detailed sculpt and a dark metallic finish. A standout feature of the 2010 release is the removable helmet, which reveals a realistically sculpted "Jango Fett" clone likeness, complete with the disciplined, uniform expression of a soldier bred for war.
