Hasbro Arc Trooper(clone wars)

[L.Lee]

I dunno, but i was just wondering why it turned out so wierd. And if anyone has any information if they might recreate it for the 30th anniversary lines tell me. I mean what was the point of its right arm...it just stretched out and you couldnt even angle it. yep this is my rant

Its a good rant too! everyone is entitled to a little rant now and then

Wish I could help, but I quit collecting all but the most unusual Hasbro items a long time back.

I agree, the original arc troopers left a little to be desired. I mean, they were cool...but the sculpt was a little off and articulation was limited.

Good news though....Hasbro actually DID re-sculpt this figure for the 30th anniversary line! In one of the current comic-book 2-packs, you can get Obi-Wan Kenobi and Alpha (an ARC Trooper). Alpha is a brand new sculpt, with super-articulation and a removeable helmet. You might be able to find this at Target or Walmart. They came out shortly before Christmas.

Also, not sure, but I think the Entertainment Earth Republic Forces figure sets come with 2 "Shadow ARCs", which are black and red ARC troopers....I think they have a newer sculpt. Not certain, I haven't picked them up yet.

yea, but to me it seemed the head looked a little big. I also read up on the new 30th anniversary wave. they remade the arc heavy gunner and scuba clone or something

I have both the figures Skellington mentioned ( the comic pack ARC and the Mandolorian pack black & red ARCs). They are totally amazing figures. I hate the original CW ARCs, total garbage.
The heads look big on the 2 newer ARCs compared to the originals (which heads actually look too small for the figure) due to the removable helmets.

As for other quality ARC figures; Captain Fordo from the Hunt For Grievous battlepack should also be mentioned here. Cool figure (actually a ROTS #33 Commander body), as is the ARC Heavy Gunner from that pack. The other 3 in that pack are the crappy CW mold.

Wait wait... what?! captain fordo can be like moved ( arms and legs )?????????? i didnt know that..cuz the other arcs from that pack are the same crappy ones from the CW series. Now ive got to get fordo..... wasted so much money on the crappy arcs(bought 4)....

Yep, Fordo has ball joints at the shoulders, elbows, knees and ankles.
