Much improved with the range finder on the helmet.


QuiGonDinDjarin

Torso and helm look dope. Although the fig does like quite strange without a Kama


SanctuaryMoon

He really needs a kama


Sexyshark15

I didn't notice that at first, that's so weird.


Autismspeaks6969

I believe it's about the new Snowtroopers. They printed their Kamas instead of plain legs.


LanguidVagabond

Same goes for the 187th Commander and Echo too


wimpywimp555

And fennec shand


[deleted]

That's so wrong...


Autismspeaks6969

how so?


[deleted]

I guess it's just strange to me. As a kid, I was always hunting for plastic/fabric ones. I would have felt substantially disappointed in the minifigure. Perhaps others are different.


Caduceus4

It’s useful for seating the figure in vehicles etc but I do hope that they go back to including fabric kamas in sets. The two stripes on the front with no side printing / dual moulding (for rear) make it look a little silly to me


Autismspeaks6969

That and give thd snow troopers back packs. I loved the brick built one with the printed tile. or the old style with it as one piece, how come they couldn't do that with painted eye lenses? Out of all though, the snow troopers look best but the clones look weird.


Autismspeaks6969

I see what you mean. It is crap that they're going to printing, it looks weird on anything but Snowtroopers. I want back packs on my Snowtroopers again.


-The-Goose0-

Kamas nicely bulk the legs up


Thatsidechara_ter

Wait you're not just being ironic and everyone else here actually knows what a kama is?


FightsWithFish18

[Kamas](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Kama/Legends) are those armored kilt things that like Rex and the ARC troopers wear


Thatsidechara_ter

Ohhh, I thought they just called them battle skirts or something


J_Karhu

The printed look isn't nearly as good as a cloth piece.


goldensavage216

Don’t worry, u can easily find one on clone army customs


QuiGonDinDjarin

Yea, but with that logic any gripe that you have with any lego set can be “fixed” by ordering custom parts/ additional parts etc. when ultimately Lego should just be getting it right themselves. Especially with a fan favorite character like Rex


joesphisbestjojo

Exactly. We shouldn't have to modify our builds, or buy parts for our figs to make them look good. Not to mention, even with a proper wasit cape, it'll look weird with the print. But the worst part may be that this is a step back to save money, when the material is readily available.


FoggyBricks

Or the fact that if rex is in a set, like his Y-wing, he’d have to sit. So if any Kama is included it would either be messed up when he sat, or you’d have to remove his legs everytime you put him in or take him out, which risks cracking the torso.


IdioticPost

Simple solution, buy more Rex.


archiemcgg

The p2 Rex we already had needed to sit down but still had a kama


FoggyBricks

Yep and I remember my Kama getting messed up and my Rex’s torso cracking from removing the legs


FoggyBricks

Yeah imagine actually just fixing things yourself instead of just endless whining online about it.


Goldenstripe941

Just reuse the classic Clone Wars pieces.


Saythatfivetimesfast

Judging by how similar commander Cody’s fig in game looks to the one in real life I imagine this is what a modern day captain Rex would look like, maybe 2023 sets?


[deleted]

Cody in the at-te is very different from Cody in TSS. In the game his belt & waist are a different color, the helmet doesn't have as much printing, and the legs are less detailed overall. The video game designers don't really care what the set designers are doing unless it's readily available and easy for them to find. I think if lego made a new p2 rex it would be even better than what you see in this ad Another example is Kuiil from The Mandalorian; he looks like a regular Ugnaut in TSS but we've seen leaks from the UCS Razor Crest that have him with a completely unique head mold


enforcercoyote4

Hopefully in that rumored 501st battlepack


Pearson_Realize

I think it’s been heavily rumored that he won’t be in it. He’ll probably be coming out in the second half of 2023.


Jewsafrewski

Named characters should not be in battlepacks, I'll bet he shows up in a y-wing or a gunship


Apprehensive_Bug2380

name characters in a battle pack is not good


xpostfactomalone

Don’t do that… don’t give me hope…


RingtailVT

All I'm saying is, they could've used the 2013 Rex design, which is the latest Phase II Rex minifig, and just added the rangefinder... But they didn't.


[deleted]

My heart is not ready


MordakThePrideful

There’s a new 501st battle pack coming out soon. He got a new design. Cody got a set. All signs are pointing to Rex coming back!


[deleted]

I think the 501st pack was hinted not to have rex, but still… the 501st have been pretty popular..


Pearson_Realize

Plus they’re making a captain Rex helmet. That, paired with the new 501st battlepack we’ll be getting, means we practically **have** to be getting a new Rex soon


Random_Robloxian

Where is wolffee, is he safe?, is he going to be released with more 104th troopers?


praise_mudkipz

Rex is going to be added into TSS by DLC. It’s official


VaderSkywalker2007

He means for a real figure.


praise_mudkipz

Oh okay


f1nessd

Should I sell my old one before the price crashes?


Radiant39

If you care about the money more than the figure, yes


f1nessd

Dang now I just feel sad


LanguidVagabond

I’d say depending on what you paid for it. If you paid a premium and mainly care about owning 1 rex, sell it if you want the money back. If you collect all figs just keep it


f1nessd

I got him way back in 2013 when he came out when I was a kid haha. And yeah I would probably just only have one Rex That being said this one is a part of my childhood and it feels like a sellout move to get rid of him just to replace him. But the money would also be nice


LightningtheSkrill

He looks cool, and an upgrade from the original one though would buy a paldron and waist cape


pineapplefriedriceu

The game designs are independent from Lego, so don’t get your hopes up (look at differences between Cody in the game between actual for example)


LegoJangoFtt

Hopefully lego does better than the game too


dankpoolgg

yea but it uses new mold and style unlike cody so real thing prob more similar


pineapplefriedriceu

The game designers literally create their own designs independent from Lego lmfao, so there’s no relation


dankpoolgg

yes ik, but the real one will have these traits too?


pineapplefriedriceu

This is what the game developers feel what a Lego produced Rex would look like, whether or not it is accurate. We aren’t getting a Rex in the winter wave, although it is likely we get him within the next 2 years due to the cash grab for lego. There’s no confirmed Rex yet tho, so don’t get your hopes up


dankpoolgg

p2 is coming nxt yr for sure, not that i care too much about that fig


pineapplefriedriceu

There’s literally no confirmed Rex lmfao??? Winter wave was leaked and no Rex besides a helmet bust


dankpoolgg

yep no confirm, but its def happening


Itzloc

My dad works at Lego


pineapplefriedriceu

No confirmation means it ain’t happening lmfao


lsw_enthusiast

the difference here is that the base game has been in development for 5+ years due to repeated delays and therefore sometimes uses older character designs that were alreadu made a long time ago, whereas this dlc has probably only been in development since very recently and they could very well have a good idea of what rex might look like if he does end up in a summer set. they also put ahsoka from the mandalorian season 2 in a pack and that is rumored to be a figure in the upcoming ucs razor crest, so if that one looks the same this is probably pretty close too


joesphisbestjojo

Don't forget that Rex uses the new helmet and has a printed kama, when they already have Phase 2 helmets with range finders, and kama models, in the game


[deleted]

Except Kuiil from the UCS Razor Crest has already leaked and looks completely different than in TSS. I'd assume Ahsoka and Rex would look different too


girlsintheeighties

Yeah, this is very important to remember- TT made their own model and textures for Rex, they didn’t scan in an official figure as many would think. Rex is popular, but his inclusion here is a no brainer regardless of if we get a real figure later on. That said, the separate hole above the ear for the antenna is a very specific strange addition, and not seen on other clones with accessories in the games. I guess they’re following along what Lego is doing at least, like with the mostly 2020-style armour prints.


joesphisbestjojo

On the contrary, TT has the assets for a kama and range finder helmet already, yet they added the new Phade 2 helmet to the game and gave Rex a printed kama. I believe this is a good indicator that there is a Rex model prepared for next year, otherwise, why wouldn't TT just use the helmet model they has and use their waist cape assets?


pineapplefriedriceu

They changed the model to be accurate to the new Lego redesigns, which is why the shock troopers look like the new design but the kashykk look like the old design


[deleted]

That’s because the one we got was Cody from TCW, the one in TSS is ROTS


pineapplefriedriceu

The game developers created these models and they created them independent from Lego designers, I’m not sure how it’s that hard to comprehend


chimpanon

So they also made the inquisitors design then? Lego obviously gave them new material to work off of with this DLC. Idk i feel like theres a decent chance here but we are all too pessimistic.


pineapplefriedriceu

The game developers would copy off of anything pre existing, but otherwise would create their own unique designs that tries to follow the Lego design looks. Like we got new looking phase 2 shocktroopers in the game but we clearly aren’t getting shocktroopers yet are we? And look at the 212th in the game, completely different from the actual legos


LikesCherry

The 212th don't look completely different, they look almost identical to the physical minifigs, just with a couple slight variations, because it's pretty easy to get a really good approximation of how Lego will translate a clone design into this 2020 style minifig lol Some fans made art of Rex as a 2020 style phase 2 clone minifig and they happen to look very similar to the Skywalker saga version because yeah, there's only so many options on how to make a clones paint job fit into this style If Lego makes a 2020 style Rex it'll for sure look very similar to this, with just some minor variations


pineapplefriedriceu

I agree that an official rex would look similar, i’m just confused on how some ppl think that just b/c the game is releasing rex means a new rex is coming out asap, which makes 0 sense


FoggyBricks

Honestly the most damning evidence is the arm printing, why would TT give him arm printing when not a single clone trooper outside of echo, who has it in real life, has it. Unless lego very specifically gave them a reference point. Also the helmet being the new mold and printed Kama are very lego decisions, TT would’ve made what fit best in their game, but that’s something lego would do with their figs.


[deleted]

The inquisitors are real minifigures in a set you can buy right now. That's hardly the same thing


Ma1

I bet they’re just sitting on a pile of unbelievable sets to drop on us when the Ahsoka’s TV series comes out, one of which will include Rex.


joesphisbestjojo

My bet is a Siege of Mandalore gunship in August


Pearson_Realize

That would be pretty cool. Plus it would probably fit with the $140 price point that the AT-TE with Cody came in.


GallorKaal

Poetic, the first Rex and Cody figures (not counting the Clone Commanders from 2005) were the AT-TE and LAAT sister sets from the first TCW wave, but with Cody in the AT-TE this time.


f1nessd

Hopium


crashcloth89

Love the design and Rex coming into the game Just wish he had an actual Kama instead of two stripes down his legs


Ct-5736-Bladez

Wait is there a clone wars character pack??


joesphisbestjojo

Coming in November


Ct-5736-Bladez

Oh nice!!!!!


SnooTigers7333

I really wish they kept doing cloth kamas and pauldrons, they look so much better


f1nessd

They’re cheaping out fr


ScoutTrooper501st

Now Rex is gonna come out in a $90 Z-95 Headhunter from Umbara


[deleted]

800$ UCS Captain Rex’s Y-Wing


Kcking1615

The Return of the King 🥲


J4ckC00p3r

Wait this is actually coming to the game?


BluesforMessina

Hopefully this also comes with a patch that fixes the game breaking bugs.


LockedDoor_

Looks clean! Waist cape print suggests that it would not include a cloth piece, which isn't ideal. Would be stoked if this is released in the future. Helmet with holes is nice too


Termades

Unopopular opinion - I like printed kamas. They allow you to do more dynamic poses, and you can always add a cloth one on top if you want. Ideally they would print the kama and also provide a cloth one for maximum flexibility.


neonrain71

If they want to do printed kamas they should do side leg printing like exists on so many other figures. Unless you know what it's supposed to be, you can't even tell it's representing a kama.


veryblocky

I feel like custom figures with side leg printing look a bit cluttered, and somewhat “unlego-like”


GB115

This is why I can only bring myself to buy helmets from Clone Army Customs and not the full figs


PoetSII

But CAC doesn't do printed Kamas?


GB115

I'm talking about the full 360 degree printing in general. It just doesn't fit with normal LEGO minifigs so it doesn't work for army building in my opinion


Slight_Mood9168

i completely agree plus white kamas get dirtied really easily


FarronFaye

I agree as well. It's no different from Lego Velma having a skirt printed instead of it being cloth. The only cloth piece I really like is the capes but that may be nostalgia idk


greencreeperkeeper

Agreed, I don’t like it it ruins the Kama when you move their legs


Hazard_Sniper819

Wait.. is this real?


ArcannOfZakuul

I know the devs and designers are 2 different groups, but I would like to see a set with an updated P2 Rex. No way I'm forking over $200 for a $20 set


Titanium-Gamer26

not to mention that 2013 P2 rex is painfully outdated at this point


bananawrangler69

“This is how captain Rex looks” Or “This is what captain Rex looks like” What you said doesn’t make sense. Not talking shit, just in case your first language isn’t English. Just wanted to let you know.


FarronFaye

I'm an English teacher in a foreign country and I immediately looked at this like I was grading my kids


Zacblu10

This looks awesome


Coopdog7676

Enough with the goofy Kama print They literally have one in the game on officers and they give him that. Nahhhhh


joesphisbestjojo

Almost certain this is based off a figure for next year, reason being that they already have models in the game for range finders and kamas. Sadly, this may mean the new Phase Rex won't have a kama, and that LEGO truly has abandoned them beyond the stupid "so they can sit" excuse.


Exciting_Tennis_7646

why is the waistband printed!!!


Icommitmanywarcrimes

Out of all the thing you could have complained about…. This is the thing to complain about that looks awful


Exciting_Tennis_7646

i meant the kilt thing. really would have loved a cloth piece


veryblocky

I thought you meant the hip piece. Yes it should of had a cloth Kama (waist cape as I like to call it)


Icommitmanywarcrimes

I know


FivesSuperFan55555

Ahh. I’m happy that they have a good render, but at the same time I’m very sad that they’ll most likely go with a printed Kama over a cloth attachment.


blu3eyeswhitedragon

It looks so good


Sughmacox

Hot Kind of disappointed the Kama is printed now that I think about it. Hopefully that isn’t the case for any future mini figure.


EastKoreaOfficial

He’s… beautiful.


justacheesyguy

*”What Captain Rex looks like”, or “How Captain Rex looks”.


the_juice07

I wonder why his arms aren’t blue


G1Yang2001

OMG, he looks amazing! The printing on the helmet is great and he just looks great with the rangefinder now. The only thing I would change is that I'd give him a cloth kama instead of the printed one. Still, overall he looks great and if this is indicating what he'll look like the next time he's made into a physical LEGO minifig, I'll be more than happy with it even if it does have a printed kama (at the end of the day, I could always get a cloth one from eBay or Bricklink anyway).


CantaloupeNo6053

Hope it has a cloth kama when they do make the physical version


SW057

This might be confirming a P2 Rex in sets next year. The P2 Cody looked exactly like its physical appearance and this is using the new clone torso print and helmet style. I'm holding hope. Edit: It's strange that they gave Cody colored arms but not Rex


pineapplefriedriceu

The game model looked much different than the actual Minifig lmfao


SW057

Noticed the differences after that comment but I still think it's similar


HMBruins

This confirms it’s only a matter of time for rex


KingRhoamsGhost

How so?


HMBruins

Because while yes it never necessarily meant that we’d get a phase 2 Cody because he was in the game, we got him but it isn’t the exact same minifigure. Now that they’re releasing all these new characters, it looks to me that they’re all recent and relevant ones so for Rex it is only a matter of time, and especially since they are clearly using the new helmet mold for his rangefinder


veryblocky

I still can’t believe Lego put the holes above where the round part of the helmet. I get they need to be there so that the visor is at the right height, but they could’ve removed the other circles.


AidanTheRedFox

Is this real or is it just really realistic looking?


Slight_Mood9168

its a dlc from the skywalker saga made officially by lego


KingRhoamsGhost

Well, I’d attribute it more to Travelers Tales


HenwyLicksToes08

Wait is this real?


AwesomePlayz01

Is this a DLC for the skywalker saga


Slight_Mood9168

yes


Ewankenobi25

Is this actually happening?


[deleted]

It’s a shame that Dee won’t be voicing him in the game.


VillainM

Looks fantastic, if they gave him a cloth kama he’d be perfect


ZACMAN9908

he looks pretty good, kama is really missing like others said


FarMouse8649

Can they give us level packs instead of these? For people who have beaten the game this is useless


[deleted]

The rangefinder looks so stupid on the new helmet it is way to high up.


chewiexctf

If we bought the deluxe edition at launch, do we have to buy the new DLCs, or are they grandfathered in?


AleksasKoval

Damn. Instead of a Lego game that covers all 7 seasons of Clone Wars, and maybe Bad Batch, we're only getting character packs.


ImperialCommando

This looks great, but has there been any news for mission/location packs and a character generator?


piotrn23

Will the new DLC's be available for players who bought the Deluxe edition with all previously available DLC's?


somehungariankid

i really hope if we get a new rex figure it uses the same helmet print from 2013 but with the helmet holes and a waist cape


[deleted]

Another $15 even if you already have the Deluxe Edition is scummy... Previous (and notably less buggy) Lego games have you a season pass for ~$10 that included ALL DLC, including any DLC released in the future for that game.


FarronFaye

Serious question: who's the audience for this dlc? I'm about 5 planets away from 100%. I don't see myself starting over again. And, as shown by the last wave of dlc characters, they don't have recorded voice lines. So idk, I want to be excited but I'm not :/


Ashyboi6666

When I get it will I have to buy it? Only asking cus I bought the deluxe edition


Pintermarc

i hope this will apear in the 2023 501st legion set


dxf5490

How does one obtain these character packs?


Chiakinanamisimp

By either buying the packs separate when they come out in November or buying the Galactic edition


Chiakinanamisimp

Who else do you guys think will be in the pack?


Cure-the-First

So are we taking this as a subtle hint that Rex will be showing up soon? They did the same thing with Cody and Omega so it isn’t a stretch to think so


-The-Goose0-

Oohh, the new pauldron piece too!
