For reasons unknown, ARC Trooper Fives has black hair and dark bronze eyebrows, and a goatee. That said, there are deco issues with it. The figure has more personality without the helmet on its head, but the detail in the “human clone” portrait is quite impeccable. We prefer ARC Trooper Fives with the helmet removed. It’s not as bad as the earlier Phase II Clone Troopers in The Vintage Collection, but a sizing issue still exists. After all of these years, Hasbro still has trouble properly sizing the Phase II bucket, and the helmet on ARC Trooper Fives looks like it’s too big. In the packaging, ARC Trooper Fives looks line a fine action figure. The tooling is all-new, and collectors should count themselves fortunate. ARC Trooper Fives is a straight repack of the figure from the 501st Legion ARC Troopers (Echo/Fives/Jesse} Special Action Figure Set, a “convention” exclusive for 2020. Multiple things will probably make them feel dissatisfied as well. We’re not entirely sold on this figure, but there should be enough excellence here to make The Vintage Collection collectors happy. The Season 4 episode of The Clone Wars entitled “Darkness on Umbara” made its debut a long time ago, but we’re now just getting ARC Trooper Five in 3.75” super-articulated status, nearly a decade after the episode first aired. Although The Clone Wars started before the takeover, it’s been grandfathered into the Disney canon as a viable source of storytelling, and corresponding marketing, like toys and other media. Many have commented that Hasbro only expends all-new tooling for characters from the Disney Star Wars Entertainment umbrella. But we’re getting some fantastic figures amid a messy rollout. It feels like ALL of the action figures in The Vintage Collection will be entering the line at a crawl. After years of “nothing” for toys from The Clone Wars, it feels awkward getting figures again from the now-classic television series at a mid-pace crawl.
