"Oh, by the way, I think you'll be needing this" - Cody

Utapau was generally a dirt, and grass mixed planet. Cody was in the second invasion of geonosis but not the first.

Freaking waiting almost 2 YEARS for this figure, already pre ordered rex and once I get corona off of me I’m gonna pre order 501st deluxe and the new Coruscant guard

Been waiting for a commander Cody review for a while now, I have Rex on preorder and am VERY excited for him. Here’s hoping for Fives or Jesse and of course, Wolfe

I was mildly considering getting Cody, but this video convinced me, I’m getting him! I really appreciate your channel, I’m an indecisive person, so these videos really help me 😁🙏

Been waiting for this, just got done watching the iron spidey and this looks to be a great figure as well.

Gosh the details are so crisp, I’m sold on all of the new hot toys clones.-

Congrats! Probably one of the most anticipated figures of 2020. Your channel gets content like none other!

Moving forward,I REALLY hope HT continue with batteries for light up options in the figures forearms.Ive never used that feature since they released their first Vader.It is such a pain to swap out.But with this guy,it looks soooooo much better with just the forearm and I hope HT continue like this into the future as they evolve.

This quickly?!! “I’ve been looking forward to this”

Hello Justin. Love all your videos and reviews! Now, in regards to the helmet and the weathering being printed on rather than being hand painted, it's not necessarily a "cheat" way to do this. I have experience working for former Galoob and Hasbro Toys in the mid to late 90's as a Designer on the Star Wars lines and, part of this technology which has significantly advanced since my time is the tampo printing process on toys (especially high end collectibles such as this). One of the most expensive phases of toy manufacturing is paint applications. With today's highly advanced tampo printing technology, it allows toys to have more accurate and more realistic deco applications. It also saves more money rather than having it individually applied by hand using a mask and spray paint operation. Also, with the tampo printing, it also allows for a good quality controlled consistency with the deco so all the figures will appear exactly identical. When I was working for the toy companies back then, the tampo printing tech was starting to evolve more and more and we were starting to discover just how much more we could do with detailed and intricate designs and deco applications (instead of having to figure out layers of different paints which would add up in manufacturing costs - thus leading to toys having higher price points). One such example of where today's tampo printing is super beneficial is in action figures' eyes. We are able to get a lot more colors and depth applied adding to the realism. If everything on a Hot Toys figure was still completely hand painted or spray masked, the price points of the Hot Toys figures would be much higher considering how intricate these figures are. Then on top of that, add the various materials used and we might talking a $250 figure that might be double the cost. OR, they would have to significantly reduce the number of paint and deco applications on the figure just to keep it within that price point. It's something we had to do all the time with Micro Machines Action Fleet toys and Action figures. This is why Hasbro Star Wars Black Series figures are quite high in price. It's the amount of paint operations to achieve more collector grade details compared to one of their more standard type SW figures.

Finally you review this figure I was waiting for it you’re the best youtuber😎💯

Finally!! Been waiting for this since the preview, looks incredible!

pre ordered this bad boy back in july, should get mine this month. your previews are awesome cuz they help me know what to expect when i buy one

The detail on this is incredible! So correct me if I'm wrong; it comes with his Phase 2 Body, Head, Jetpack, 6 of his Different Hand Positions, A Stand, His Helmet, Holograms (of Yoda, a Clone Trooper, Palpatine, and Kenobi) a holo projecter, his DC-15.A, DC-15.S Carbine, and 2 DC-17s

That was an informative video with great observations, felt free of fluffing, included great comparisons and corresponding close ups, and didn’t seem like a commercial. I didn’t look at view count or like ratio but I did notice over 300 comments, which seems well engaged with the audience and makes sense with the combination of popularity of the character, the incredibly long lead time, how good this figure looks on screen and your presentation of it. Being that I’ve been waiting and buying my figures from US retailers, I rarely even check what the current price is while waiting for domestic stock but I did hear that Cody is fetching a pretty big markup. To my eyes though, the right side wrist gap looked worse than the elbow gap, but you had it in hand.

Commander Cody is one of my favorite characters. Thanks for this video!!

Great review on such an amazing figure! Definitely pre-ordered 2 of these! After your review i can't wait to get this delivered !!! Start the Clone army building!!! So excited for the rest of the Clone line to be released. Thank you for another awesome review! 👍

I wish that in the commander Wolffe figure he had the same shoulder antenna design as Cody, that would make it so much more accurate since they both have a shoulder antenna

LETS GOO JUSTIN THANKS FOR POSTING EARLY!!!

Commander Cody is one of my favorite Clone Officers. That’s because he is a brave, smart, and strong tactician and he serves under one of the greatest Jedi in the Order to have ever existed.

One of my most awaited Hot Toys release. I see it's a success, and i can't wait having mine. As usual great review, with relevant comparison and attention to details.

You never fail to impress, Justin! Great work on this one!!

Sooo glad I’ve got this guy coming, this helps pass a bit of time till he arrives 😁

Just pre-ordered Cody and Rex from sideshow. These will be my first hot toy figures

At @8:58 i literally spat out my coffee at how different they look hahaha love the review justin!

I just saw your video yesterday and ordered him today, can’t wait

Cody looks amazing!!Cannot wait for him to arrive,hopefully THIS week from HK for me.Great vid and review as always Justin!

As you said, can’t find the right word but only amazing!!! Can’t wait for mine arrive... btw the right hand with two fingers up was appear on the scene where Cody order the AT-TE to blast Obiwan.

Hold up ... not that long ago I looked at your subcount and I swear you had 30k. YOU HAVE KILLED IT! Keep it up! 100 million before the end of the year!💪🏻😱

Great review as always! Already have this preordered. So pumped for this!! Hopefully it will start shipping to Sideshow in 6-8 weeks, that's my guess anyway.

Been waiting 1 year for it !! Finally 🎉

Finally the review i've been waiting for, this means sideshow should be sending them out with the next month 🙏 i was so pissed that this one got pushed back so far and we got figures that were recently announced and came out before him

Fantastic Review Justin!!! I owned the SS back in the day but sold it (no regrets). This HS has to be the best in 2020

Mine’s coming in November, it’ll be my first Hot Toys! Dude I’m so excited. Great video too!

I honeslty didn't even think about getting Cody... until I saw how awesome he looks next to Rex. I'm thinking about picking up both now.....

Wow just wow as always great review justin keep doin good

Always quality reviews!!! No matter how many reviews precede, Justin sets the bar higher. I anticipated the comparison with the older sideshow clones so much! Thank you again!!

I honestly love the Clones more than the Jedi/Sith when it comes to Star Wars, Captain Rex and Jesse as well Commander Cody are the best! The Clones' deaths in Clone Wars season 7 was hard to watch man, lol.

My only nitpick about this magnificent release is that they didn't give a Phase I helmet like they did for the Sideshow version😭

The blaster rifle you labeled "Big-Blaster" was previously identified as the DC-15A but was recently changed to the DC-15 in the Star Wars Canon, although, I would wager both names are acceptable.

THANKS FOR POSTING EARLIER THEN ANNOUNCED 😭😭👏

Commander Cody is my favorite character of all time but i have to wait till Christmas to get this

Great 👍🏻 figure!!! I can’t wait to get it. Cool 😎 review mate 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻 thanks for sharing 👊🏻

The head sculpt is beautiful also I love all the guns and the helmet

would love to see a clip at the end of you putting your figure together with the others for update of your collection. Other than that great review from you always justin

Justin: “mentions the ears” Me: can’t unsee it now

these collectibles are on another level...amazing...

Thanks Justin!!! You the man!

The ground of Utapau is more a chocolate brown colored dirt. Different from Tatooine sand. Utapau also had a alot of big rocks. Cody did fight on the dirt of Utapau when fighting against Separatist battle droids and Crab droids.

Missed out on the sideshow cody and didn't want to pay eBay prices, so this was an instant purchase for me! Glad I did because he is already rising in price already and sold out everywhere and already waitlisted on sideshow.

I wish I had the patience to save up for one of these they are amazing but if I finally saved up I wouldnt know which to get general Grievous was also pretty awesome

So happy they've added a bunch of holos.

Just ordered can’t wait for it to arrive

I preordered this the moment it was announced - in fact, I contacted my retailer before he could put it on his website. Super hyped. Now trying to decide if I want to order a second one. After seeing your comparison, glad I didn't buy any of the Sideshow clones.

Let's go, this figure looks amazing

I've just purchased this today from hottoys cant wait for it to arrive

Waiting for my HT Cody. Have had the Sideshow one for years - and I love it; it was ahead of its time. But yeah, the armor is way too lose and some of the small parts like the whisker-thin antenna and that little helmet light feel scary delicate. Still a great figure;,but your review makes it clear how obviously superior the Hot Toys one is. (Curious to see how my old Sideshow Utapau clone will look next to it. I assume pretty good - but slightly oversized and sloppy armor-wise).

Great review Justin! I just got him today and I agree he’s great! Did you have trouble getting the arms to go down to his sides? I felt like mine wanted to stick out.

Great review as always. Between this and the Mandalorian, which would you say is the better figure and better purchase if you had to choose only one?

Fantastic!

There’s a line in TWC where Cody says he wasn’t involved in the first invasion but he was in the second

I like this action figure it does look better than the older one such a cool character.

One thing I really like is that the hand pegs come off and on nice and easy. My Anakin is like that to. But my Darth Maul I've broken 3 hand pegs on him. I had to buy some on ebay. Which was kinda pricy buy a second pair of hands to get the pegs lucky the guy was cool enough to trough in another set of pegs so now I have four extra sets. If I can get the pegs off were it connects to the arm it's easy. I fill a small bowl with hot water and the side that connects to hand comes right off. That's were they kept breaking. I wish they'd do the hand pegs like Sideshow.

This video made me get this video back in December and god damn if u didn’t kickstart my obsession with collecting 1/6 scale figures 😂

Quite possibly the best headsculpt we've seen so far

I LOVE Cody and his armor

My one complaint about Cody is I think his right arm should have a magnet. I had such a hard time getting it to stay on posing him. But I got it to work and I've tried 2 other poses to see if the arm stayed on. Knock on wood it has. I just got in yesterday from Sideshow I got two weeks to check him out because if it keeps happening I'll probably return him. As much as I don't wasn't to he's an incredible figure. Every day I'm going to test him by doing new poses each day. I still need to find that perfect pose.

I can’t wait for mine to get shipped

Can't wait for mine to arrive, will be my first Hot Toy and potentially the start of a slippery slope 🙈

I don’t think Cody was on Geniosis but I think the base is based on Episode 3 from the utapau system from when Obi-Wan confronts Grevious

U have a like the greatest collection ever

Awesome! Now all I have to do is wait three months for my popcultcha pre-order to arrive.

Fantastic video.

No way!!!!!! I have been waiting for this one, and you know it, he is my favourite character from star wars😱😱😱😱🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯😱😱🤯🤯😱🤯

Love it👍🏼

HE LISTENED !! THE MAN NEVER FAILS US !!!

It’s just AWESOME!!

The bottom barrel on the DC-15A is actually a heat sync i believe (as seen in the BF2 game) and IS NOT a sight

Would love to see you review the sideshow cad bane in denal disguise figure!

I love his look orange is my favorite color.

Awesome figure!

Awesome 👌

awesome figure

They should come with a generation one helmet too that would be dope

Great review. I was hoping you would show the holograms lit up in the dark.

I just got mine today and while I love it for the most part they disappointed me on the QC. My figure came with duplicated antenna pauldron armor for both sides.

This is very cool

16:12 ... my boy you spat on the figure lmaooo

Oh hell yeah!!!

Please please please can you do a first order flametrooper Btw you have such good videos keep up the good work

i love the hot toys one just wish the scars were on his face as hes known to have that scar for almost the whole of the clonewars

14:56 "It literally just pops." 💥 Oh shit! My HotToys figure popped!

"dont worry you will see the hologram with the lights off in a second." Never saw it with the lights off again xD

Nice piece man

The orange on my Cody looks to be a lot more faded in person is that just due to lighting in the video or is that a problem

Awesome review Justin! My 3rd time watching it 😂 why can’t hot toys do that to all the light up arm of Star Wars figures? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Pre ordered Cody and Rex couple months ago. Debating on ordering the 501st deluxe 🤔

Aye this figure fire🔥🔥

I just picked him up!
