Sideshow Collectibles took quality notes on their previous errors, mistakes and issues and resolves them in one fell swoop with the figures that make up the Clone Trooper Deluxe group. While that may technically fall under the Expanded Universe, it’s not part of any canon really, but that’s what makes the collecting aspect more fun.Īs time moves on, so does technology as well as the approach to the way 1:6 Scale Figures get made. So it is this “collaboration of parts” that we’re calling Sideshow Collectibles’ own concept. But you have that option here which frankly looks pretty darn cool. While the 501st Legion has been in The Clone Wars television show since the beginning and they looked very similar to phase I Clone Trooper Lieutenants (with darker blue color flashes and an incomplete helmet stripe), they never looked like the 501st Legion in Revenge Of The Sith with an Attack Of The Clones helmet. While it’s evident that this is just a second way for Sideshow Collectibles to releases the highly popular and successful 501st Legion Clone Trooper in the 1:6 Scale Figures line, they added a few extra things here to make this release unique, thus creating a style of clone trooper that we haven’t seen in the line to date and totally worth your dollars. Of course, we’re only talking about one permutation of armor set-up here (the phase I 501st interpretation – not screen accurate, but awesome nonetheless).

Hot dog! Sideshow Collectibles releases their own concept 1:6 Scale Figure! Much like what Hasbro did with their inordinately popular Order 66 line from the 30 (77-07) line, Sideshow takes a well known company of clones and extrapolates upon them to create their own unique styling.
