Hot Toys Reveal New Captain Rex 1:6 Figure from ‘Ahsoka’
Hot Toys is back with another new figure reveal from Ahsoka. This time they’re diving into one of the most popular moments from the series – the Clone Wars vision from the World Between Worlds – with a brand new version of Captain Rex.
Even better, this version of Rex comes with the armor and helmets required to re-create both Rex’s Phase 1 and Phase 2 looks. This means fans will be able to choose how they display him, and who to display him with since at this point I’m fairly confident we’ll be seeing figures for both Anakin and young Ahsoka, and likely in both their Battle of Christophsis and Siege of Mandalore looks, from Hot Toys to go along with Rex.
Debuting the figure on Facebook this week Hot Toys wrote:
Rex once served the Republic on the frontlines during the Clone Wars, taking orders from Anakin Skywalker™ and Ahsoka Tano™ as first a captain and later a commander. He viewed military service as an honor, and his loyalty to the Republic and his Jedi Generals was absolute. But when Order 66 was executed, it was Ahsoka who helped to free Rex from the programming of his inhibitor chip. At the dawn of the Empire, Rex has escaped with his life but is considered killed-in-action in the eyes of the new regime. That allows him to operate in the shadows and help any clone brothers who remain separate from the Imperial ranks.
Continuing the expansion of the incredible collectibles inspired by the Ahsoka™ live-action series, Hot Toys is thrilled to introduce the new 1/6th scale Captain Rex™ collectible figure!
The highly-accurate collectible figure features detailed recreation of Rex’s distinctive Clone Trooper armor and helmet with amazing paint applications, interchangeable Clone Trooper Phase 1 and Phase 2 armor parts and pauldrons, Rex’s signature dual blaster pistols as well as a blaster rifle, a thermal detonator, and a newly designed sand theme figure base!
Now it’s a great time to have the Captain Rex 1/6th scale collectible figure in your Star Wars™ collection!
This is the second version of Rex, the first being a live action interpretation of Rex as he appeared in The Clone Wars. That version featured a removable helmet and head sculpt which is missing from this new figure (likely because Rex did not remove his helmet on Ahsoka,) but does not have the interchangeable Phase 1 and Phase 2 armors this new version does. Both look to be great figures so it purely comes down to personal preference if you’re deciding between them.
Captain Rex is available to pre-order now at Sideshow Collectibles and other retailers, and is due to be released in Q4 2024/Q1 2025.
