SSC 12" Celebration VI Exclusive Clone Cmdr Ganch Review
« on: May 02, 2013, 11:38:32 AM »
Hi there! Wraithnine here with another SideShow Collectibles Review!!(yes i know i'm still pinching myself)
next up its the turn  of the Star Wars online Comic Character,Clone Commander Ganch CC-4572.

whats unusual abort this Celebration VI Exclusive is that he is not part of AOTC ,ROTS or TCW T.V. series but appeared in the TCW online comic,some would say that it's a strange choice ,but i think it makes a refreshing change.

first  I love the packaging that SSC give their figures ,its the usual 2 box gatefold affair which is held together with magnets once again ..very cool .
Due to the fact that Ganch is a cartoon character in the truest sense of the word theres are some cool artwork panels on the box .









Yep what makes this exclusive a cut above the others is the fact he comes with phase I & phase II helmets and a portrait head.
in the weapons /hands tray there seems to be some artwork below the tray ..lets have a look shall we...


As he is a Celebration VI Exclusive He comes with an exclusive stand :

Here He is on it wearing his phase I helmet


As i said Ganch comes both types of helmet and a portrait head:




and a necktube for when using the portrait head(sorry about the crap pic)


the standard 13 hands with various poses ,made from a heavy duty rubber ,with a hard plastic plate to represent the armour.

plus a pair of fists inconjunction with the fitted gun holding hands:


he also comes with a pair of "action" feet(these always remind me of Beetlejuices feet after the piano lands on him .)

weapon wise he comes with a pair DC-17s pistols,a DC15s carbine(with folding stock) and a DC15n rifle:





The quality of the paintwork and the weathering is stunning ,i was wowed by Cmdr Fox ,i have been utterly blown away by Cmdr Ganch
but dont take my word for it ,let these pictures speak for themselves:






















If theres one thing this piece should come with but doesnt is a health warning ...
you have 2 awesome helmets and 1 wicked looking head and its gonna drive you nuts trying to decide which one to display it with!!.
The choice is yours..........

sorry about the late input on this review. Coming back from holiday is seeming to be a chore.
Fabulous pics, Jay! Nothing tells it like pics and you hooked us up again, buddy! I didnt even know where this character came from till you layed it out for us.
Don't know if I will snag this one or not, depends on how much more hooked i get as if I am not in deep enough. Going to be swamped tomorrow but I do promise to get Gree up one of these days.
