You could be forgiven for thinking this chap is a stormtrooper. He isn't. If you take away the yellow markings then maybe he could pass for a stormtrooper, but a clone trooper is something different. The clone troopers are led by Clone Commander Bly and serve with Jedi General Aayla Secura, which makes them heroic types. They are part of the newer Star Wars characters, so you won't see them in the old eighties films, but you will spot them in George Lucas' newer movies.

Hasbro have made a pretty decent action figure of the clone trooper with a very good likeness. Moulded from plastic, his bulky frame brings an air of menace and intrigue. The helmet is spot on and you can see that the designers studied the film carefully, because the detail on the mask is accurate. His eye piece is sleek and mysterious and the breathing holes rest in the right spots too.

Some great armour gives the figure bulk around the shoulder area. As we move down the body, you will see that the colours have been handled well, with an authentic off-yellow used and small dashes of black here and there. Arms and legs are crafted well, giving him movement and a dynamic pose. There is a neat touch of a cloak-like mould around his waist, further shaping the figure.

Clone trooper comes with a decent blaster which can be gripped between both hands, again the detail on the weapon is good and it is a perfect size. You could move the figure at the head, arms and legs, allowing you to create a variety of positions.

He will cost you about six pounds to buy new, boxed. But remember, there are lots of these guys, so you better buy about one hundred of them!

Summary: good toy
