ARC Commander Havoc - VC#274

[Booster Terrik]

In honor of the 20th anniversary of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Hasbro has unveiled a brand new Vintage Collection figure that pays respect to one of the many Clone Troopers that captured the hearts of audiences two decades ago and Collider has the exclusive first images. The premium 3.75-scale figure depicts Havoc, one of the Clone ARC Commanders who met a tragic fate during the Battle of Kamino. Before his death, he served in Rancor Battalion with Commander Colt and oversaw clone cadets’ training on their homeworld, where he proved himself as a trusted soldier, worthy of promotion into the ranks of the ARC troopers. Collectors will be able to display the new figure in its beautiful packaging which was inspired by the original Kenner line and branded with the special 20th anniversary logo, or take him out of the packaging and re-enact the Battle of Kamino.

Hasbro's Star Wars: The Vintage Collection Arc Commander Havoc figure includes five entertainment-inspired accessories, which include a removable helmet. While the first images of the figure do not showcase Havoc sans helmet, It's safe to assume that, like the rest of the clones created from Jango Fett's DNA, this clone trooper will bear a striking resemblance to Temuera Morrison. Unlike other, more notable clone troopers from the series, Havoc only appeared in two episodes, but that doesn't negate the fact that the clone has plenty of fans ready to snatch up this collectible figure. Havoc will be available to pre-order exclusively at Walmart on October 6th at 10 AM ET, as part of their Walmart Collector Con, so collectors will want to set their alarms.

Havoc made his first appearance in "Clone Cadets," the Season 3 premiere of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, before meeting his end in "ARC Troopers," the following episode. During Asajj Ventress's surprise attack on Kamino, Havoc assigned fan-favorites Fives and Echo as snipers, while he and the other clone troopers protected the planet from the aqua droids. Havoc's death was a noble one, as he attempted to save 99 (a clone who was relegated to janitorial duty due to a genetic flaw that caused him to age) while they were under siege by droids. Who wouldn't want a collectible figure of such a noble clone trooper?

Like with many of the figures that Hasbro releases through Walmart, pre-orders go quickly, so on the ready when 10 AM ET rolls around on October 6th. While you'll be able to pre-order the figure then, Hasbro anticipates the figures will start shipping out in Spring 2023, leaving you with plenty of time to get your shelves prepared for the new addition. The Star Wars: The Vintage Collection Arc Commander Havoc figure will be available to pre-order for $16.99 and is rated for ages 4 and up.

[EmperorPalps]

YakFace hinting at an AT-ST repack for TVC next year (not surprising), and possibly including Han in AT-ST driver disguise. Trying to remember if we've already had that version of Han on the most recent AT-ST driver body.

I'm fine with this since it's a tie-in w/ the anniversary of TCW and also an exclusive, but definitley won't be buying. Really, really tired of clones and mandalorians at this point. I don't care how good they look, just incredibly bored by them now.

Havoc is an easy repaint for a store exclusive. I was wondering if TVC was going to be represented in the Walmart Con thing that starts tomorrow at 10 am ET.

[Booster Terrik]

I'm not ordering anything from WM. I'll grab any of the TVC stuff they offer tomorrow from Ebay or overseas.

 

[Etain]

This is an odd one. No reports at any of the usual channels or social media places that I've seen. That codename isn't on any lists either. It's rare that something like this would fly so far under the radar.

*Edit - Nevermind, here's the article over at Collider: https://collider.com/star-wars-clone-wars-commander-havoc-hasbro-figure-images/

 

[bac]

I'm cloned out as well, but that's some slick card art. Appeals more to the MOC collector, which is contradictory to Walmart's shipping practices.

 

[matt292]

Wow! Clone looks great!

Smart repaints like this are the perfect exclusive, so that's great. Wonder if he's on his own or if there'll be more!

 

[bac]

Wonder if he's on his own or if there'll be more!

Nothing else showing up on the news wires yet. He might be a one-off.

 

[Booster Terrik]

*Edit - Nevermind, here's the article over at Collider: https://collider.com/star-wars-clone-wars-commander-havoc-hasbro-figure-images/

I had that link in my original post - I must have cut/pasted over it.

 

[Etain]

He might be a one-off.

Yakface mentioned there should be a couple more incoming.

 

[legacyknight]

Havoc is cool to see. If Hasbro wants to keep doing Clone repaints for The Clone Wars figures, I’m fine with it. As long as most of them aren’t in the mainline, I don’t mind.

 

[CaptainYoda]

Just when I thought I wouldnt be getting any more clones......I may try to get this guy tomorrow.

 

[bac]

Yakface mentioned there should be a couple more incoming.

Just saw that. There's no shortage of clones to repaint, though I'm sure we'd all love a NON-clone in this anniversary repaint beat.

 

[CadBane]

****, Havoc actually looks really good. Also the fact that I know I could never get the Clone Wars mold on top of that makes this even more appealing.

 

[DarthHeretic]

Hopefully Blitz and Colt aren't far behind.

 

[EvenPiellFan]

Looks great, maybe they ran out of time to show it off at Pulsecon? Hopefully Blitz and Colt are coming too.
The 20th CW logo is wrong and shouldn't be put on TCW items but if they did it for this TCW S3 item maybe we are getting some more TCW figures?
Out of all of them, I'd like a Season 1 Ahsoka, the (cancelled/never seen the light before) Rex and Asajj Ventress.

 

[Masterfett]

Havok is a nice surprise! Though I was honestly hoping for a 3pk with Colt and Blitz so as to not bog down the main line with more repaints, I guess as long as it's an Exclusive then it doesn't count as a min line slot.

And yeah, I hope Blitz is soon to follow along with Colt!

If you're not into turn based RPGs, I can easily see why someone might dismiss it. I certainly played it wishing the combat was more like Jedi Outcast. Which is from the same era.

KoToR tells as a story as fleshed out as the entire movie saga. Except you get to make important choices and shape the direction of the narrative. You can explore this universe and flesh out the world building as much or little as you want simply by interacting with it and everything within it.

The narrative twist is one of the best since "I am your father". The story is just pure Star Wars. And it has no Skywalker baggage being that it takes place so far in the past. And yet its still recognizably Star Wars.

Yeah, I definitely had my hang-ups upon learning KoTOR not being a turn based fan. Fortunately there's a lot of other goodness to make up for than one drawback, and despite that one minor flaw as I seen it it was one of the best SW games I've ever played! Which is why I've been waiting so long for either a sequel or even just a remake that upgrades everything and changes to 3rd person like the last few games.

What boggles my mind atm between TVC and TBS is how Hasbro is making the Tusken female warrior in TVC, yet the Chieftan in TBS. Now, those two characters interact with each other and Boba, but the chances of us seeing the chieftan in TVC are probably "0" and I'd say the chances for the female Tusken warrior to be made in TBS are probably 50/50.

No matter what happens, I think both TVC and TBS collectors must both be wondering what's going on with that decision. Sure, it's possible that they have the chieftan ready for TVC and the warrior ready for TBS and wanted to show 2 different characters, but with the way some of these shows are being handled atm, the chances of getting more from TBOBF seems more unlikely, than likely.

I think this has been addressed before, and the easiest answer would be an attempt to offer "different" selections for each line so it doesn't feel repetitive for those who might collect both lines. Outside of the main characters anyway, like for OWK BOBF etc. both lines get the mains at the same time but for others it's a one or the other for some reason and I'm sure there's some typical Hasbro response on something like this. The problems come when TVC gets a figure first but is generally followed up in TBS later that same year or the next while in the reverse TVC could be waiting 2-3 years if TBS gets a character first.

While many fans may seem like they want balance of scales, Hasbro must have a reason why they choose the way they do and why TVC gets this character while TBS gets that one. I also think it's been brought up in a Q&A before, but even if they were to do so it would still mean a lack of characters in TVC regardless. Just look at the OWK line up, since they didn't even go beyond three mains how do you even offer another and which one would it have been since they pretty much covered all Inquisitors. I do feel we should have got Tala though!

Despite it being Walmart ... I'm in.

 

[HothHan]

Ugh ****in Walmart

 

[Booster Terrik]

I updated my post to reflect that ARC Commander Havoc will be $16.99 - FYI.

 

[bac]

Have decided not to order Havoc from Walmart tomorrow. F Walmart. If I get these three new ARCs then they will be from elsewhere.

 

[Masterfett]

Eh, it's quite a jump from $13.97 and certainly makes me want it less than I did... Honestly if this is their plan going forward I may decide to pass on even long time wants! Granted it's only $2 more than basic figure but it's still just a repaint of a mold that's been used six times already, and for me personally it's going to take more unique characters like a Tera Sinube or Cin Drallig to pay these higher prices.

This is why I wanted a 3-pk or 4-pk with a random Clone.

 

[Booster Terrik]

I'm not ordering anything from WM either. I'll get whatever exclusives they reveal today from Ebay or overseas. I am done with WM and Target for figures.

 

[Booster Terrik]

Page is live but not available to purchase. $19.00 price caught my eye.

 

[indysolo007]

I’ve been told they are fixing the price before it goes live.

 

[HothHan]

I’ve been told they are fixing the price before it goes live.

Yes it's Walmart. They will fix it be $29.99 sold by a third party.

 

[jodo]

Shipping bag and green earth fee (no packing materials) will cost extra.

 

[Booster Terrik]

WM updated the price to $16.97

 

[CloneCommander86]

Fixed price is up.

 

[CaptainYoda]

Wal-Mart's timing is always a little off too.....

 

[bac]

He sold out FAST at Star Action Figures. I was debating grabbing him there but was too slow.

 

[bwing]

Was it ever in stock? (on the Walmart site)

 

[Simdog]

No he wasn’t

 

[Simdog]

Almost all of the black series is up

 

[Atari]

Was it ever in stock? (on the Walmart site)

I was wondering the same thing. Had to answer a couple emails and forgot about this until just now.

 

[Lobotscomb]

Annoying as ever.
