The Legacy Collection
Wave 11
#44
Clone Commander Cody

Accessories
Commander Cody is packaged with a lightsaber hilt, blaster, helmet, jetpack, hologram of Sidious, and a build-a-droid piece.

Look and Feel
This is a truly stunning figure with tons of extras, but it isn't without its flaws. The first thing that struck me was the antenna sticking out of his left shoulder. I realize that we are never going to get a figure with the correctly looking antenna, but Hasbro didn't even give us the right color. Instead of a slender silver antenna we get a thick orange one with a huge ball at the top. I have read that several customizers have cut this off and inserted a silver sowing pin in its place. Another issue I found was with the belt. Believe it or not but that thing is upside down. The orange compartment is supposed to be on his right hand side and is supposed to hang lower. I have also read customizers who have boiled and popped the figure, flipped the belt and put him back together, but to be honest I am nervous about boiling my figures. After those two fixable issues this figure is fantastic!

Articulation
Cody has ball-hinged joints in the neck, shoulders, elbows, torso, hips, knees, and ankles. There is only one swivel joint on this guy and it is in the wrists.

Overall Reaction
When this figure came out I was really worried about getting this figure as I thought we would be the pick of the wave. This turned out to be correct as I only saw him twice and bought one for myself and one for my son. Surprisingly he isn't my pick of the wave, but a very close second. The extras are fantastic and really make up for some of the lack luster pack-ins for the rest of this wave. I was very excited to get Obi-Wan's lightsaber with this figure as you can never have enough hilts and this one comes with a post so you can attach it to an Obi-Wan figure! Cody isn't the only figure to come with the left arm of the YVH-1 build-a-droid as the Han Solo Death Star Escape figure that was repacked in this wave also has it. In my opinion this figure is a MUST BUY!
