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.
According to Jedi investigations, the clone army was apparently commissioned by one of their own a decade previous to their introduction on the battlefield. Using the original genetic code of bounty hunter Jango Fett, the Kaminoans carefully tampered with the material to produce clones with diminished independence and accelerated growth. For a decade's time, the clones were constantly trained in fighting techniques, vehicular skills and battlefield tactics. Yet, they still maintained a spark of independent and creative thinking, making them far better suited than droids to handle the unexpected turns of warfare.
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. Eventually, color-coded flashes on the armor denoted rank and later came to signify individual units, who often became more customized with mission specific gear and armor modifications.

Though am a Original Trilogy fanboy, this is definitely one irresistible clone trooper ever since the memorable rescue scenes with Yoda on Genosis from EPII:AOTC. On with the review...

The trooper:
Note the matte-armour? Unlike the previous ROTS series of clone troopers from sideshow, this particular release is not weathered. It definitely stands out more. Even better is the lack of loose joints and paint bleeding as well. Thus let's continue to the poses...
Stand-by, Aiming...
Attention!:
Fighting along side the Great Jedi Master...
Was trying to do the un-armed combat posing... well it certainly could have been better...
It's current location till I find a way to place it amongst the rest of the 1/6 figures in the showcase...
