Is the blue color on the clone dark enough? Doesn't look that way to me. Will these be distributed like the originals were?

Nice. ABOUT TIME!!!! I'm happy for you GG collectors. Their Ep. II Clone busts are very cool.

I bet we'll see a bunch of con exclusives with these. They need to make a Gree and a Shock bust also. Perhaps as a SDCC Exclusive?

These are great. But you know red and green are gonna be the exclusives -- it's just a matter of who gets 'em.

These are awesome but i really want to see some of the other troopers done such as the snowtrooper.. Theres way too many characters to be done to keep making these troopers...

I would love some of the other Troopers as well and the Snowtrooper is actually my favorite out of all six films but I have to disagree with you here. The majority of GG's mini-busts have been from the OT and we've only got one EP3 piece so far not including the upcoming Darth Sidious so I think these are a great release.

I wonder what the case ratio will be for these. 3:2:1 or 2:2:2
I'm guessing 3 white, 2 blue, 1 orange. I may have to order a case of these.

I'll be ordering a few cases if they pack them out that way again.

Hopefully they have a good assortment in their case ratios because I could go for a case or two myself. :buttrock:

It has been confirmed by a dealer on Rebelscum that the case ratio breaks down as follows:

3 white, 2 blue, 1 orange

Looks llke I'll be buying a case.

You have to assume one of them will be their San Diego Exclusive.

Great bust ! Too bad I don't collect the busts anymore, now it's only FS pieces for me... But I might reconsider... The blue one looks great.

Me likey....I am all over these...The only exclusive I can see is the Green colored Biker scout from the Kashyyk attack...

I wouldn't be surprised if GG did a red Shock Trooper since they could just repaint the same mold and then make it an Exclusive. If GG made a Kashyyyk Trooper they would need to change the mold so I'd hope they wouldn't limit that by making it an exclusive.

true, I will not miss out on these, hope these are not a con exclusive in san diego, I really don't want to pay 400 again for a blue clone :banghead:

I think its pretty dumb of GG to make ANY plain white troopers AT ALL. The only plain white ones I can remember seeing in the movie is if you freeze-frame the scene when the Inivisible Hand fires at the Republic SD in the beginning of the movie, and you see clones go flying from the explosion of their gunnery stations. Even the ones that Yoda meets with before leaving for Kashyyk aren't plain white - they have grey shoulder/leg markings.

At the very least the white clone bust should be 1 per case, and the other colors more common. This isn't like Ep 2 where yes, the white clones were the majority of the forces. I dunno, this just seems like more of a headache, since most fans will want troopers with battalion markings over some plain ones.

edit - of course they make the orange Utapau trooper the rarest, which I think many people (like me) plan on getting that one for when they eventually make a Commander Cody bust (you gotta have him displayed with AT LEAST one of his grunts!)

I was kidding I didn't pay 400 I traded for it so I think I only really paid about 250 or so for it , Can't remember how much I got the daredevil full size from galactus.

Anybody in the uk/Europe fancy buying a case from the states and them splitting it up over here? This is the way that I buy all my SW busts now. It works out cheaper even with shipping cos the busts cost so much in the UK.

I'm only after one of each and am not looking to build up an army
