![]() The figure does have tremendous positives, however. Those are the negatives, which cannot be dismissed. If you think that bit of self-plagiarizing is a bad thing, I won’t argue, but that is a criticism for the media and not the figure. Another reason this design is compelling is that it clearly borrows styling elements from the McQuarrie Concept Snowtrooper. For whatever reason, these paint issues are mostly isolated to the heads or helmets of the figures. #Finding features in serial cloner plus#On the plus side, the Wolf Pack Battalion insignia on the figure’s right shoulder is instantly recognizable and well done. The two halves do not match and the black paint for the iconic clone/storm trooper frown misses the mark wildly. Looking at the upper torso closeups, the symmetry of the helmet is awful. Unfortunately, at the time (and up to the time of this review), Hasbro was beset with occasional comically bad paint applications, and you can see that manifested here with this sample. This figure is compelling partially for the elaborate design. It also offered a much more visually compelling figure. But again, Hasbro was taking advantage of a new media event, and that always takes priority (like it or not). It also left some fans disappointed because they would have preferred the more standard Wolffe configuration. Because of the extreme one-offness of this design, the figure probably should have come with a sub designation: Clone Commander Wolffe (Oba Diah armor). This armor is partly designed to deal with the sandstorms faced in that planet’s environment. It was some of the best payoff to the underdeveloped, cryptic backstory of the Prequel Trilogy (and still left me unsatisfied). The duo would ultimately locate the lost lightsaber of Sifo-Dyas. In Episode 10, Plo Koon and Commander Wolffe track down a lost Jedi shuttle on a desert moon of the planet Oba Diah. At the time of its release, Hasbro was honoring the then Netflix exclusive Season Six of The Clone Wars. ![]() If Commander Wolffe has an iconic singular representation, it would be his base Phase II armor (see inset to the left). ![]() If you search the internet for reference images, this figure’s armor configuration is hardly what pops up first.
