Commander Cody (Bad Batch)

Inaccurate to source material.

Posted by Unknown on 14th May 2023

One of my most anticipated figures, and probably the first figure I'd buy from here, unfortunately has a few design inconsistencies to the Bad Batch, where he is depicted from. I hate to be that guy but the attention to detail for this Cody appears to be lackluster. Any reference material, and even pictures from the actual show, displays Cody in a mostly light gray similar to the visor here. The prints here, however, have him with these brown colorations on him that he didn't have, as well as his gray markings being way too dark to be dismissible. The black body glove that separates his thigh armor from his hips and the separation behind his knee are also too prominent, especially when compared against other minifigs, which don't have that large gap between the armor.

That's not to say this isn't a bad minifigue at all! When looked at in a vacuum, the prints are very well made and the belt connection between the hip piece and torso are clean. When stacked up against other Commander Cody minifigs, this one has the gray helmet markings that others actually don't, showing the finer details that make it great.

Although this review is mostly negative, I wanted to make it in a constructive light. The potential this has if it was made more accurate to the original source material would be great, and honestly a steal for $30 when placed against other competing Commander Cody's. It's my hope that this feedback would be taken in that constructive way, and as a result, would produce a more refined and finished product.
