Here’s your first look at the 501st legion, coming up from Hot Toys

One of the most popular Clone Trooper legions is coming up from Hot Toys. Here’s your first look at Anakin Skywalker’s fighting 501st.

Captain not included

Are the 501st the most popular Clone Trooper legion in Star Wars? If they’re not, it’s by a pretty slim margin, as the legion that would go on to be known as Vader’s Legion are just about everywhere, in one form or another. Whether that’s in the form of Captain Rex, or the individual Clones themselves. In this case today though, we’re talking decidedly about the latter.

Just announced by Hot Toys, the 501st Legion Trooper is on the way from the toy-maker, inbound for a late 2023 (or early ’24) launch. Once again though, these figures are looking spectacular, and like they hopped right off the screen.
