We continue to get acquainted with the saga of Star Wars through the prism of the series "Ahsoka" and unsurpassed action figures from Hot Toys! A character that is a symbol of unwavering loyalty, stability and steadfast spirit - Captain Rex. Hot Toys is proud to present the latest addition to their impressive line of Star Wars: Ahsoka - Captain Rex 1/6 scale collectible figures.
Created as part of the Grand Army of the Republic, Captain Rex is a clone of the bounty hunter Jango Fett. He serves under Jedi General Anakin Skywalker and becomes a close and trusted ally of both Skywalker and his Padawan Ahsoka Tano. Rex is known for his leadership, tactical prowess, and unwavering loyalty to the Republic.
The figure will soon be available for pre-order on dealer websites, and you will receive your dream stormtrooper in the last quarter of 2024.
One of Captain Rex's distinguishing features is his custom phase two clone trooper armor, which features blue markings and distinctive twin blaster pistols. Rex's armor reflects his individuality, a trait that becomes increasingly important as the clones struggle to find their identity and independence.
Captain Rex, a veteran of the Clone Wars, played a crucial role on the front lines, taking orders from none other than Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano. As a captain and later commander, Rex considered military service a great honor, showing absolute loyalty to the Republic and his Jedi generals. However, the fateful execution of Order 66 plunged the galaxy into darkness, forcing Rex to confront the sinister programming of his inhibitor chip.
Throughout the Clone Wars series, Captain Rex participates in various battles and campaigns, demonstrating his bravery and loyalty to the Republic. His character undergoes significant development, particularly during the Siege of Mandalore, where he plays a key role in the events that lead to the fall of the Republic and the rise of the Galactic Empire.
In the fifth series of "Ahsoka", titled "Part Five: Fallen Jedi", viewers are immersed in the story of Ahsoka Tano. Here she unexpectedly meets a familiar face, namely Captain Rex. While the previous episode featuring Anakin Skywalker in The World Between Worlds hinted at a reminder of Tano's big moments, Episode 5 takes a surprising turn by portraying Ahsoka as a youth from the early days of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. This decision takes both the audience and Ahsoka directly into her past, showing a young Anakin where she participates in the Clone Wars alongside him.
One of the most emotionally charged moments in Captain Rex's storyline occurs during the execution of Order 66. Unlike many other clone troopers, Rex manages to resist the order to betray his Jedi allies, including Ahsoka Tano. It shows the depth of his character and the bond he shares with those he serves alongside.
After The Clone Wars, Captain Rex's story continues beyond the animated series. He appears in the epilogue of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and later becomes a key character in the post-Clone Wars narrative, including his involvement in the early rebellion against the Galactic Empire. Rex left a legacy not only as a skilled and valiant clone trooper, but also as a symbol of resistance to tyranny in the Star Wars galaxy.
This collectible figure also features interchangeable Clone Trooper Phase 1 and Phase 2 armor pieces and shoulder pads, allowing collectors to display Rex in a variety of iconic looks from his illustrious military career. Standing approximately 30cm tall, the figure features a body with over 30 points of articulation, providing unparalleled flexibility for dynamic and realistic displays.
The Captain Rex figure comes complete with Rex's signature dual blaster pistols, blaster rifle, thermal detonator and a newly designed sand figure base. These accessories add depth to the collection, capturing the essence of Rex's combat prowess and ability to navigate the treacherous terrain of the Star Wars universe.
Embrace the legacy of Captain Rex and add this magnificent piece to your Star Wars collection, honoring the enduring spirit of the clones in a galaxy far, far away. May the Force be with you as you embark on this exciting journey with Captain Rex.
