2011 TRU Exclusive Stealth Operations Clone Trooper "Commander Blackout"

Commander Blackout leads the Stealth Ops Clone Troopers during the Clone Wars. His debut, and only appearance to date so far, is the episode "Cat and Mouse", which is what this figure is based from. Blackout is of the Stone sculpt, so therefore does not have the full articulation, which includes a lack of ankle articulation. The detail on Blackout is nice, has a logo on each shoulder, and has a unique helmet paint-job, which looks vaguely like a spider, the yellow part. Accessorries included are a standard Clone DC-15 blaster, pretty common/regular with almost all Clone Trooper figures, so nothing really special there. The other accessory is the removable earpiece on Blackout's helmet. This is included because the helmet mold is the same as Commander Jet's helmet, and Jet has the same feature as Blackout. Kind of a pointless accessory, given that Hasbro didn't include anything to interchange it with. I'm going to rate Blackout at 9/10. Only reason I'm taking a mark off, is because of the lack of ankle articulation, but this is still a really cool Clone figure, and definitly worth a purchase in my opinion.
