With the cover flip open:

At the time of their introduction, the Republic clone trooper represented the future of galactic warfare. Far superior to the battle droid armies of the era, the clone troopers formed the backbone of the Republic's new military initiative that battled against the forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. So pervasive and symbolic were they of the times, the galaxy-wide conflict that saw their debut took its name from their ranks: the Clone Wars. It would be a long and bloody conflict in the years to come, but the efficiency of the clone trooper infantry would be proven time and again on many scattered worlds.

Identical in form, physical prowess, stamina and mental capacity, each of the first generations of clone troopers were fully encased in hard white armor, each identical face concealed behind a t-shaped visor. Color-coded flashes on the armor denoted rank and eventually came to signify individual units, who often became more customized with mission specific gear and armor modifications. Units such as the Galactic Marines, the Shock Troopers, the Attack Battalion and the Star Corps had distinct armor variations that made them stand out.

Denoted by the orange flashes on their armor, the 212th Attack Battalion operated under the orders of Clone Marshal Commander Cody and High Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi. General Kenobi led the 212th Attack Battalion to the Utapau system, storming the stronghold of Pau City in the hunt for General Grievous. While Obi-Wan battled head to head with Grievous, the 212th was able to gain the advantage, though not without heavy casualties.

poor battle droid ......

Thanks for sharing the pics... and the Turbo Tank in the background looks to be begging to be released and shot (photo shoot)

The battle droids shall have their revenge.
BTW, like Dranoel said, "the Turbo Tank in the background looks to be begging to be released and shot (photo shoot)."
Your camera's focus is even on the turbo tank instead of the Utapau Trooper on one of the top left sides on one of ur pictures!!

LoL... And here I though I was being subtle about it.

The CTT's on this link ->viewtopic.php?t=3379

And nope, it's not completed yet. Still have yet to take some more comparison pics. Probably aim to complete it by wednesday night.

Bro, can I check with you something? I also recently got myself a piece, and is it just me or are the joints really weak or something? I could hardly pose my 212th Clone standing up, and only after numerous adjustments can I do it. With my Medicom RAH Clonetrooper, the joints are stronger. Is this common or do I have an issue with QC here?

[Valentin]

Sideshow Armoured figures do tend to "suffer" from weak joints. It's a hit or miss usually.

If it's really bad, you can still request for a replacement via sideshow if you got it direct from them, or your vendor for 3rd party returns.

I had wanted to get the Sideshow Clone troopers but 2 things bugged me a little. The helmet looks a little off (looks a little fat at the bottom of the base) and something is funky about the boots as well. The attraction is of course the price being easily half of what medicom costs.

Wonder if Medicom will begin releasing some of the other clones instead of just repaints like the 501st and Shocktrooper.
