Topic: Clone Commander Gree CW# 09

[Clonehead]

Yet another long awaited release in the Clone Wars figure collection, Commander Gree has to be one of the coolest looking. Bought at Wal-mart for $7.47, Gree features excellent paint apps, super articulation but not ball jointed hips, a removable helmet, a single holster belt with one removable pistol, One long clone rifle, a nice looking removable bandolier, a different head sculpt with the patented double mohawk hair cut, and a large looking  cannon with a launching missile from the cannon. This cannon looks cool but seems a bit large for one man to carry to me.

This is a solid release for this line and I can see this figure being sought after for a long time.

I must make a legacy version of a cw Gree sometime in the future.

Oh, my version came with the Qui Gon Redemption Certificate. I just cant tell if the UPC from Gree is one of the ones that will qualify for the Redemption.

I was a little upset when all pics on the internet and the box itself show him with a CW version of a Z-6 Rotary blaster and then you open him and he has a new styled rocket launcher.
But I got over it quick enough.
I liked him and was glad to have picked this one up.

Your right about the cannon, Dana. It even shows it in the pic on the back of the package.
  I want my oversized rotary cannon.

that is why i got two green clones to go with him and an arf trooper, all with the BIG gun.
Probably would have gotten more, but werent many more left when i had gone through them all, and I would rather let a kid get a nice fig and hopefully get a good experience, than keep it all to myself.
hopefully they will be around for a while...at least one in each scheduled wave release for this line this year if I recall correctly.

Hi,
thanks for the great review.
I picked up Gree for the headsculpt and bandolier alone at the local TRU yesterday.

Re. the oversized (too-heavy-to-carry-realistically) weapons, I found a clue in Karen Traviss' RC novel "Triple Zero" when Trooper Corr brings the rotary blaster "minigun" to bear: he switches on the mini-repulsorlift incorporated in the weapon which allows him to carry and use the weapon which otherwise would be too heavy to handle.

the heavy weapons guys in 40k have something silmilar called suspensors
