The VC38 Clone Trooper (212th Battalion) isn't the forst straight up repaint in The Vintage Collection, and it wasn't the last. What it was, however, was one of the most lackluster repaints offered in the otherwise outstanding collection! That said, this figure was the first Utapau Clone Trooper with the assembled with its belt right side up.
The fifth wave of action figures in The Vintage Collection was sort of a mixed bag. The assortment featured the VC20 Yoda, which was originally slated for the third wave, along with six kit bashed or repainted figures including the kit bashed VC39 Luke Skywalker (Death Star Escape), the repainted VC40 R5-D4, the kit bashed VC41 Stormtrooper, the kit bashed VC42 Han Solo (Yavin Ceremony), and the repacked VC43 Commander Gree. This assortment didn't ship to Canada, but the Yoda, Luke, and Stormtrooper were ever offered North of the 49th in future waves.
