Toyguide Update: CW62 Captain Rex

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of Captain Rex (CW62) from The Clone Wars Collection.

PROS: Captain Rex gets an update with this release with a new sculpt featuring soft goods kama, ball-jointed hips and a BMF rocket pack with posable cannons. What’s cool about that is it can be ditched all together and replaced with a more “series accurate” jetpack that pops out of the back of the larger one. Now that’s forward thinking Hasbro! He’s also accessorized with 3 blaster pistols and the standard fare removable helmet.

CONS: Rex does loose some articulation in the ankles and now has swivel wrists instead of ball jointed ones. There is also paint apps missing from the rangefinder that has been present on all previous Rex figures wearing this particular armor design.

Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.
