No. Clones will never go out of style I remember the craze for him when he was a 3.75" figure from the Clone Wars TV series as a Target Exclusive. What they did for that particular figure was encase it in a protector pack! People were scrambling for that thing. At least in my area they were. I was lucky to barely get two. And then after that, I spoke to a line manager at a Target and managed to snag the end cap carboard cut out of Commander Fox that was used for his display Only managed to get one side as the other side was warped, bent, and had multiple creases on it.

You lucky so and so. My Walmarts usually look empty. At the nearest Walmart, they have ghost Yoda, except he's in one of eighty shipping containers outside. Bet you he won't even see shelves here, haha. Awesome. I was wondering why we weren't seeing more sightings of him.
I stopped into my local WM this morning to pick up some sparkling water, swung through the toy section, and there was a scruffy-looking middle-aged mouthbreather in a ratty t-shirt in front of the SW display harassing a poor old WM employee. I stood in the adjacent isle and eavesdropped. The little lady, like most grandmothers, didn't know Luke Skywalker from a Power Ranger, and he was upset, "I know it's an exclusive! You're supposed to have five of them!" Neither of them realized that it was likely just showing 5x total BS figures, not five of the specific Jedi Luke he wanted. There was just a lone Solo-Solo in the display. She didn't know where the other four were. I knew there were three Solo-Lando pegwarmers in the clearance section they didn't see, so that accounted for most of the discrepancy. He stopped short of being rude, but I could tell he was irritated, and wouldn't take no for an answer. Finally, after explaining for the umpteenth time that there were none "in the back", she told him to check other stores but that he should call first before taking a long drive. I stood in the lego isle and watch the schlub shuffle off empty-handed and smiled to myself. I love it when scalpers are thwarted. And now I know the face of the enemy.
I felt the same way when I saw him in hand, that I had no attachment to him. Later, I regretted not getting him so I went back to GameStop and of course he was gone. Luckily, he came in stock later that week at another GameStop. Aside from the two recent astro mechs, this was my first experience handling a Black Series fig and I was very impressed.
I was surprised myself after researching history of the fig only to find that this has been the only one. I'm over here exciting thinking I'll get a couple of Coruscant Troopers to go with him then realized they only came in that EE Exclusive set and saw the prices lol
Between getting Gree yesterday from BBTS and Fox landing in my Pile of Loot. I thought I'd post my current Clone collection, its nothing compared to some I've seen but its a start especially since this was the Star Wars I grew up on and I was happy just to have a Rex in my collection.
Haha, like me, you have more Commanders than grunts for them to order around. Or I guess in your case, none! My unpacked SW collection is slowly growing.
Coming into all this, a clone trooper other than white, cloth goods, and wear was just outside my comfort zone. Having him in hand however, he's just incredible. Like you said, the red accents are a nice shade of red. The armor wear's such a nice touch that I'm pretty impressed that Hasbro was able to do that.
Awesome, I’m sold. Where’d you guys get your copies? Also any spots to look out for for paint defects, or has it been consistently good?
My first one was missing the white stripes on his left cheek. I was lucky and returned it for a perfect copy. Just be aware of that.
