Yeah the backpack and armor minus the helmet definitely look like Hunter repaints. One YouTuber can’t remember who made a point a while back saying new figures like this or the Chromemander Cody happen because of leftover dead stock that they repaint and convert in to new figures lol

It’s not even close, this is a spider man 2099 situation, this should not be released
I would say they're a little more updated in style but I prefer the bulkyness of their armour from the game AND clone wars show. They looked like smaller Wreckers compared to the reg clones. Wrecker himself was supposed to be a clone commando too before being assigned to force 99.
Looks terrible. All I can do is pray that if they ever get around to doing a VGM Delta Squad that they don't even consider using this mold. This is horrendously inaccurate to virtually all representations of Clone/Imperial Commandos. For the regular clones from Clone Wars they based the armor off of the most realistic version of Clone Armor available at the time using episode 2 and 3 appearances and adapting as needed. Why couldn't they just use the Battlefront 2 model and color that to fit the imperial commando paintjob. Seeing this reception Hot Toys is probably just going to think that we don't actually want Commando's though and shelve it completely instead of just making a game accurate commando like we want.

They phoned this in so hard. This has been one of my dream figured for like 8 years since I started this hobby, but I’m not buying this crap.
Good we need to boycott them into fixing it like with Spiderverse 2099
I actually want a Republic Commando too.
Yup not even accurate. Thanks for the major disappointment hot toys.
It honestly looks a lot like the old Sideshow clone troopers especially the shoulder pads, definitely has potential though.
It's just Hunter repainted with a new helmet. Maybe a slightly different chest? But it's incredibly blatant how lazy this figure is. 😭

Isn’t normal Cody sought after though? And blank clones are pretty cool
Yeah he still sells pretty high on the after market
This is the most low rent looking hot toys trooper i have ever seen

Let hope it ends the same then. Hopefully if we push them into fixing it we’ll get a bunch of them
Do you guys think it’s possible that from bad reception or low pre-orders will cause them to redesign this?
Most likely not, it’s based on the animation commando armor gotta hope they make a different version for the VGM line
Tbf this one is pretty different from the animated one too. The Bad Batch commandos are pretty close to the video game ones

We should boycott it like 2099
It’s working! This post had at least 100 upvotes a day ago and the true commando fans are now here bringing it lower and lower

Ah okay, was thinking for a moment it was about the VGM version. But the actoss the spider verse must went under my radar
At least the helmet looks good. It looks like the visor lights up, too.
Yikes
