A war hero returns as Hot Toys has unveiled their latest Star Wars 1/6 scale figure from The Clone Wars and Ahsoka. Captain Rex finally got his big live-action debut, and now Hot Toys is bringing him back with an updated figure. While his appearance in the flashback was nothing crazy, it was enough to please fans as we got to see him right on the big screen. Captain Rex will come in at 11.8″ tall, with 30 points of articulation and some new accessories. While there already is a The Clone Wars Season 7 figure, this figure takes fans back to the beginning of the war. Suit up in Phase I and Phase II armor with swappable helmets and armor plates. It does not look like an unmasked head sculpt is included, but that might change by the Q4 2024 – Q1 2025 release date. As for accessories, Star Wars fans will be able to equip Rex with dual pistols, a blaster rifle, and a thermal detonator. Pre-orders for the new Captain Rex 1/6 Scale figure are not live yet, but he will be popping up online soon with Sideshow Collectibles.
Captain Rex Awaits Your Command with Hot Toys
"Rex once served the Republic on the frontlines during the Clone Wars, taking orders from Anakin Skywalker™ and Ahsoka Tano™ as first a captain and later a commander. He viewed military service as an honor, and his loyalty to the Republic and his Jedi Generals was absolute. But when Order 66 was executed, it was Ahsoka who helped to free Rex from the programming of his inhibitor chip. At the dawn of the Empire, Rex has escaped with his life but is considered killed-in-action in the eyes of the new regime. That allows him to operate in the shadows and help any clone brothers who remain separate from the Imperial ranks."
"Continuing the expansion of the incredible collectibles inspired by the Ahsoka™ live-action series, Hot Toys is thrilled to introduce the new 1/6th scale Captain Rex™ collectible figure! The highly-accurate collectible figure features detailed recreation of Rex's distinctive Clone Trooper armor and helmet with amazing paint applications, interchangeable Clone Trooper Phase 1 and Phase 2 armor parts and pauldrons, Rex's signature dual blaster pistols as well as a blaster rifle, a thermal detonator, and a newly designed sand theme figure base! Now it's a great time to have the Captain Rex 1/6th scale collectible figure in your Star Wars™ collection!"
