This Black Series ARC Trooper Echo figure was released single carded on May 23rd, 2021 exclusively at Target stores
The design of the packaging was originally used for Hasbro's 3 3/4" Clone Wars action figure line in 2008
This version of Clone Trooper Echo is a realistic interpretation of the cartoon character from the Clone Wars animated TV series
The figure came with two small blasters, a regular blaster, a long blaster rifle and a helmet
The smaller blasters fit well into the holsters
Only Echo's right hand was given an index finger which can be placed onto the triggers of the weapons
Echo can hold all the weapons OK in the left hand but not as good as in his right hand
The shoulder pauldron and the backpack are not removable from the figure
Even though the figure has butterfly and ball-jointed shoulders the arms can't go higher than 90° because of the shoulder pauldron
The helmet fits well over Echo's head and the range-finder can be moved up and down
The waist kama is not removable
The figure's sculpt looks outstanding with a good looking head
The paint application unfortunately feels lackluster, all the weapons are simply black plastic (as are the pouches on the waist karma) and the figure could have benefited from a dirty wash on the armor and some battle markings
The range-finder on the helmet looks unusually cheap, it's just a simple unpainted grey piece of plastic
All in all, ARC Trooper Echo is a cool looking figure and a must-have for Clone Wars fans, but with a better paint application this figure could have been an all-time-great Black Series figure
