Battle Of Utapau

Finally its quiet time and I can get to post what I like today, more clone troopers! Simple American, Dabido and Sengkor...its our time to play now without the whining from the others!

This time I'm going to post 2 figurines from the battle at Utapau in Episode 3: Revenge Of The Sith. One of them is the clone trooper with its customised armour suit designed for Utapau and the other one is the leader of the group Commander Cody himself!

This is the clone trooper all geared up for Utapau. It basically has the same uniform as the normal clone trooper but the main difference is in its orange coloured panels to blend in with the harsh Utapauian environment?

I think Hasbro the maker of these figurines finally figured out that these figurines do need some sort of support to keep them from falling over and the display platform is a great idea, every figurine now comes with one. No more blue tack!

This is Commander Cody, apart from the standard issue of blaster that every trooper has he also has a huge rifle blaster! His uniform is slightly different from the normal troopers but the most distinctive feature is his helmet which has a visor over its eye piece.

And you can even take the helmet off to see his face! But we all know that Commander Cody is also a clone so his face is exactly the same as all the other clone troopers. Thats too scary!

One thing bugs me though, if they are all cloned and taught the same skills then why do they have a leader in each group who is supposed to be better than the others to lead them. What makes Cody different from the others?


There's just one Commander Cody but there are so many troopers under his command when he made a surprise attack on Utapau that I had to multiply the clone trooper to get more of him to help Cody. Thank God for Photoshop!

w00t! Yaaaay! We get to Plaaaaay!

I would be worried if I was Commander Cody. What if one of the other clones shoots him and takes his place, how would they know it wasn't the real commander Cody?
It's like, same DNA, same fingerprints! How do we identify them once they're dead?
How many letters is Boba Fett getting saying, 'The Empire is sorry to say your father gave his life in service of the Empire. Here are his personal belongings and the flag from his coffin.'
[Sure, Boba's probably selling it all on eBay and making a fortune, but the trauma of his father dying, over, and over, and over again!] :-)

Neo - learn GIMP. :-)
