This Tactical Ops Clone Trooper aka 501st Clone Trooper figure was released in Spring 2025 exclusively at Walmart stores, just in time for the 20th anniversary of Star Wars: Revenge Of The Sith and the rerelease of the movie in movie theaters
The name, Tactical Ops Clone Trooper is a nod to the original 3 3/4" release of the figure from 2005
This figure is a straight repack of the Commander Appo figure from 2023
The trooper came with a removable 501st helmet, a blaster and a blaster rifle
The helmet fits well over the head but from some angles you might still see his chin showing a little bit underneath
Both weapons fit well into Clone Trooper's hands
Both shoulder bells are made out of very soft plastic so that the arms can be raised more than 90°
The figure was painted well and even small details such as the buttons on the thermal detonator on the back were painted
There are a few scratches on Commander Appo's armor but the figure is kept clean without any dirt or wash on it
The head sculpt with the photo real print on the portrait looks great
This 501st Clone Trooper stands well on display without falling over
