Star Wars Black Series No 14 Clone Commander Cody Hasbro 6" Figure


I completely forgot to photograph this guy in his packaging, so thank you Dorkside Toys for the image!

So we're going to be looking at the last of the clones that have been released in the Black Series - Commander Cody. For me, this guy was highly anticipated for 2 reasons: 1st - this is a great looking character design and I was excited to see him brought to the Black Series; and 2nd - this hopefully means that my favourite clone will be brought to the Black Series: Captain Rex!

Cody comes with 2 weapons, and, unsurprisingly, they are exactly the same guns that we've seen with the other 3 clones.


I'll quickly run down the articulation on Cody first. His head is on a ball and hinge and he can look up and down a decent amount and his head fully rotates. His shoulders are also on a ball and hinge but the shoulder armour hinders the arm from moving up, his arms still rotate right round. He has bicep swivel, double jointed elbows, and hinge and rotation at the wrist.


The ab rotation takes the place of any waist rotation - this ab articulation does not really let Cody lean forward or back but this is mostly due to the armour/belt. His hips are on a ball and hinge but again, the armour doesn't let the legs move too far forward, back or out, but it does still work. Cody has double jointed knees, hinged and rocker ankles.


So Cody's body is the same as the other clones, the differences are the colours, the shoulder armour, the back armour piece and, of course, the helmet.

The weathered look to the mustard paint on Cody's torso and left thigh looks great, as does the grey on his arms. The antennae on Cody's helmet and shoulder are all a softer plastic meaning you shouldn't need to worry about them breaking. The visor on his helmet looks great too, and has a neat white line up and over it.


There are a few parts which also has a nice gold paint applied to them. There's a band on his right arm, 2 belt pouches and a strip on his back pack.

This guy, so far is easily my favourite clone so far, but I stand by what I said - if Captain Rex makes an appearance I don't doubt he'll take that title.


We're getting even closer to Force Friday! Anyone else hitting up any midnight openings? I'll be trying for sure!


Go Figure!
