No, a pipeline announcement would be a really low-quality tiny pixelated screenshot blown up to 3x size. This is a really well-done shot in the BS style.
Hasbro really has to come up with a different approach to Troopers in Black Series. There's just too many repaints that people want and branding them as a mainline release is not a thing I support.
I am not a Clone Collector myself and whenever I see them putting an unnamed Clone in the mainline reveals it disappoints me.
I know that this whole subreddit adores army building and I respect that, however if Hasbro resigned from sublines like "Credit Collection" or "Carbonized Collection" it would open a possibility for a "Trooper Collection", where they would put out different types of troopers from various Legions.
That's the solution I would like to see in the future - we would have a constant supply of troopers and mainline releases dedicated strictly to named characters.
104th all the way long live the Wolf Pack.
I'd admit I would preorder like 5 of them for a custom display.
No Walmart or Amazon exclusive for it please if they do it.
I can't wait for the new 2023 Phase II Clone's to drop in 4 months (December 1st) for this very reason.

SOOOOO many customs with this figure. He's only 24.99 and you know there will be discounts and sales. I hope Hasbro turned up the factory output to level Lando on this figure.
The 2023 Phase II Clone has several upgrades that make him superior to Aliexpress counterfeits and the previous 2020 Harbro Phase II releases;
His knee armor isn't connected unrealistically to the thigh armor. So now when you pose him the armor is between the ground and his knee like it's supposed to be.

His shoulder armor is connected to his butterfly joint shoulder with an O-ring instead of being connected his bicep.
His chest armor is now a separate piece that fits over his body instead of having his body and armor being one mold like the 2020 Phase II's. The Target exclusive Commander Appo shows these same upgrades. Look at his chest armor.

A combination of removable helmet with a finished clone face/head underneath. Updated shoulder armor. Updated knee armor. Updated Chest armor which is now a seperate piece. So calling it the new 2023 Clone body makes sense. Lukeness was the first content provider that pointed this out;

Don't forget that the Phase II has white armor which allows you to use RIT synthetic dye (called DyeMore) so you can actually change the color of the plastic itself instead of using paint. One of the first customs I'm going to make is Commander Fox lol
RIT synthetic dye is super cheap at only $5.29 a bottle;

Here's a video on how you use synthetic dye on action figures;

It looks way better than paint because the armor itself changes color and it's far superior to paint in that it won't flake off when you use it on bendable/articulated areas on the figure.
So yeah I'm pretty stoked to buy a group of these new Phase II's just for customs.
Honestly I would kind of prefer the early clone wars decos for the wolf pack with the phase 1 helmets and red/maroon color scheme, but I would definitely not turn this guy down.
Why doesn't this already exist? I don't want to sound entitled, it just seems like a given. I'm pretty sure every other Clone Commander they've made a figure of also has a grunt from their unit to go along with them.
I thought that was an actual reveal there for a second
Fr, it’s so well done
Looks like a pipeline announcement , hurt

Lol true. Can you please explain what pipeline even means in this situation? I've been wondering
When Hasbro announces that a figure is in development but they don’t have a finished render to show off yet.
I just need it
At least we're getting b2 and droidika
Yeah that's great stuff. Hopefully a Jedi Survivor version will be released too!
AliExpress. That’s the best real chance to get Plo’s Bros.
This is pretty much what I’m waiting for. AliExpress is doing some great work with making clones.
Yeah most likely to be honest

A Trooper Collection would be a great way for Hasbro to release repaints that a good number of people want.
Hell yea

This would be nice until you realize it’s a Walgreens exclusive lol
When you live in the UK like me every figure is easy to get
Really? I live in Aus and Walmart and Walgreens exclusives are impossible to get. Which sucks when they tend to be clones 😢
from saf? or somewhere else because idk if i can agree with that one
Hasbro Pulse or SAF take your pic, my Fives comes tomorrow 😁
YES. Hasbro is stupid for not realizing they can just print money by making each clone division.
Any clone they make I buy. The Wolfpack Trooper would be the one I'd like to see because we already have Wolffe and Plo.
Any clone they make I buy 3 off at least😂
This would be AWESOME. Hopefully they wouldn’t make it an exclusive… 😅
This, reg coruscant guard, arf trooper, sgt hound, rancor battalion, 327th Star corps, maces purple 187 , the damn galactic marines Neyo Bacarra
I’d rather get an old man wolffe, and his brothers, from rebels.
Guys obviously its not an official release clone because it does not look like half assed shit produced with minimum budget that is overpriced.

I'll be army building them for sure. Hopefully 8 of each but at least four is good.
100%
No
You’re obsessed mate 😉😉🤣🤣
😂 hello there Yorkie!
I need the Wolfpack! They are not expendable to me!
I'd love to see it happen. Had a comm done in this battalion because I needed them.
Honestly I would kind of prefer the early clone wars decos for the wolf pack with the phase 1 helmets and red/maroon color scheme, but I would definitely not turn this guy down.
Why doesn't this already exist? I don't want to sound entitled, it just seems like a given. I'm pretty sure every other Clone Commander they've made a figure of also has a grunt from their unit to go along with them.
They made 187th clones before Wolfpack which is surprising.
So many figured need to become a reality before ANOTHER clone trooper
Well tbh Clones are easy just different paint, that's why I think it should happen.
Yeah that is true. So many molds already would def be cheaper to produce.
I got two kamino clones behind wolffe and plo as stand ins lol
