Travelling through the World Between Worlds, Ahsoka Tano recollects the perils of the Clone Wars and fighting alongside the brave clone troopers of the Galactic Republic.

Send in the clones! As expected, Hasbro began making repaints of the updated clone trooper buck they recently added to The Vintage Collection. And since the Ahsoka series references the Clone Wars, we should expect Hasbro to use their existing tooling to bring collectors new action figures for their collections. Clone Trooper Lieutenant (Teth) takes this buck, adds a new head sculpt, and then repaints it to make it faithful to the character we see in Ahsoka. But aside from the minimal newness, Clone Trooper Lieutenant (Teth) feels like a “filler” release, and if we’re all honest, it is. Hasbro revisiting characters and designating them as “definitive” is what we want to see in The Vintage Collection. Better technology comes with better tooling, likenesses, and action figures. We cannot fault Hasbro for taking advantage of these things when the opportunity is right. After using the heck out of the Clone Trooper (VC45) tooling, Hasbro designed an all-new (and much better) version of the Phase I Clone Trooper.

With updated articulation, much-improved proportions, and enhanced design, the 2024 Phase I Clone Trooper version is a marked improvement. Now, Hasbro is making good use of this tooling to bring some fresh characters into the lineup. The articulation system on the Phase I Clone Trooper figure is astounding. Including ball-socket hips and “rocker” ankles do wonders for army-building action figures like this. Plus, Hasbro figured out the proper way to keep the friction intact so that the hips don’t get loose after articulating them several times. Hasbro did an excellent job in that regard. They also added some unnecessary, yet appreciated, details like outlining the bottom of the boots with distinct textures to the body glove underneath the armor. There is no concern about the figure’s bucket here. It fits the figure well since the helmet isn’t removable. Generally speaking, the Clone Trooper Lieutenant (Teth) looks well-proportioned, and we don’t have any complaints about anything looking out of place. This release is a decent-looking action figure.

Clone Trooper Lieutenant (Teth) comes with the Ahsoka entertainment logo on a card. We suppose the artwork is all right, but it’s not too noteworthy either. Also included with the Clone Trooper Lieutenant (Teth) figure are two weapons, including a DC-15 blaster and a DC-15 blaster rifle. Both guns fit well into the figure’s hands, and thanks to outstanding upper body articulation, you can use one or two hands while holding them. The fluidity in the body movement allows you to pose the figure in various positions. You can accomplish all these positions without issue, whether standing, running, or kneeling. Now that Hasbro has everything in place to design more characters, we expect that we’ll be going through the motions again to get all of the clone officers from Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones, but also various Phase I and Phase II clones from the Star Wars saga. We may finally have a uniform clone army using this tooling from here on out. We’re happy to see the Clone Trooper Lieutenant (Teth) added to The Vintage Collection.
