I did this clone 3 years ago, cuz I loved the design of the unnamed Hasbro-created 41st commander BUT it was made from the worst trooper mold since 1997, which was the 2005 Bacara figure. And then Hasbro poured salt in the wound by repainting it.
I wanted to see the figure with super articulation and decided I had to do it myself. So I took the head, shoulder gear, and color scheme off the commander in the
Clone Attack on Coruscant battle pack, a kama off a clone I can't remember, a body of a #41 clone and bashed it all together the match the blue paint color. And then I couldn't JUST make a figure, I had to write a character for him.
Commander Nestene (specimen 2642)
Nestene was created in the fourth batch of successful clone troopers on Kamino and trained by Dred Priest for most of his life, his dedication to the Mando'a legacy was questionable and his outlook on life is mostly grim. He never necessarily followed his orders to the letter as his superiors would have preferred but he always unfailingly got the job done and his "unique approach" was often admirable and ballsy, there was never any doubts he'd have a command of his own someday. 2642 was deployed to Geonosis as part of the second wave of reinforcements and within a year was a back-up commander of 41st Elite, under the supreme leadership of Gree (CC 1004) the Grand Marshall of the "green" unit. When half of the 41st was assigned to combat the droid attack on the Wookies at the end of the Clone War, Nestene was given a stand-in command of the 41st until Gree returned from Kashyyyk. When Order 66 was handed down by the Chancellor himself, Nestene's unit charged headlong down into the midlevels of the city-planet searching for stray Jedi. Nobody heard from the unit again.
