BrutalGamer Bringing you Brutally Honest feedback from today's entertainment industry.
Hope you have some shelf space available, because Hot Toys has a pair of Star Wars: Clone Wars BARC Speeder sets hitting pre-order.
Two flavors of BARC
Hot Toys’ Star Wars prequel collection is about to be a heck of a lot bigger. The company is moving into the vehicle space, and has two BARC Speeders just now hitting pre-order. It should go without saying too, that both are pretty impressive.
Both sets are in the 1/6th scale of course, and both also have a high level of articulation, sculpt, and paint deco. But while the overall quality is similar, and the same Star Wars ‘prequel era’ vehicle is the backbone of both, these sets are actually fairly different.
The first is a solo speeder, that comes packed with Commander Appo. A Clone Trooper Commander, Appo was in the 501st, Anakin Skywalker’s legion. And when his General fell, so did he, though he did so to Order 66 and not specifically the Dark Side.
As for the second, that’s a little more troop-buildery. Well, that’s to say you could use it to troop build, if you had that kind of green (these ain’t cheap, you know).
Set #2 includes a speeder that has a sidecar attached, and a Heavy Weapons Clone Trooper for a pilot. While you don’t have to man the sidecar, or even attach it, it can fit another (not included) Trooper.
Both sets are scheduled to ship some time in the middle of 2023, and are up for pre-order right now. Full details below.
