Back in February, we exclusively reported 2 new waves of Vintage Collection figure coming later this year* and there has been an adjustment to the name of one of the figures in the first wave. Originally, it was listed as “CL VIN Clone Trooper” on Amazon and

If this sounds familiar, the ROTS figure (III-57) also had this error and subsequent variant back in 2005.
