STAR WARS The Black Series Obi-Wan Kenobi & Clone Trooper 212th

A General and His Trooper: Reviewing the Black Series Obi-Wan Kenobi & 212th Clone Trooper 2-Pack

When Hasbro announced the Black Series Obi-Wan Kenobi & Clone Trooper (212th) 2-pack, I could practically hear the Clone Wars theme booming in the background. The duo of Obi-Wan and a 212th trooper is iconic for good reason—they’re the dream team of strategy, loyalty, and occasional quippy banter in a galaxy far, far away. I had to dig into this release, and let me tell you, the photos don’t disappoint.

Why the Obi-Wan Kenobi & 212th Clone Trooper Pack Stands Out

As a self-proclaimed Star Wars nerd with a soft spot for Clone Wars lore, this set feels like a love letter to fans. Obi-Wan Kenobi is decked out in his General armour—a perfect balance between Jedi elegance and the grit of a battlefield commander. They nailed his stoic-but-kind expression, making it a figure that practically radiates “Hello there!” energy.

And the 212th Clone Trooper? Chef’s kiss. The signature orange detailing of the battalion stands out against the weathered white armour. It’s like they’ve just returned from a mission—probably dodging droidekas and saving the day, as usual.

Dynamic Display Potential

Both figures boast top-notch articulation, which means they’re begging to be posed in mid-battle stances or back-to-back “we’ve got this” moments. Obi-Wan comes armed with his trusty blue lightsaber (yes, I checked; it’s straight, not warped!) and the Clone Trooper has his reliable blaster. Together, they’re ready to recreate the best Clone Wars scenes—or take on shelf-dwelling Sith Lords.

A Nod to the Legendary 212th Battalion

Ah, the 212th Attack Battalion. These guys were Obi-Wan’s right-hand troopers and the backbone of some of the Republic’s toughest campaigns, from the Siege of Hisseen to the climactic Battle of Utapau. Led by Commander Cody, they were known for their loyalty and relentless tactics, which makes this trooper figure all the more special. It’s like owning a piece of Star Wars military history!

This set is an absolute gem for any Black Series collector or Clone Wars fan. The detailing, articulation, and nostalgia factor make it worth every credit. If you’re already drooling over my review of the Black Series Yoda & Commander Gree or the Dagan Gera & BX Droid pack, this release is another must-have to complete your Republic roster.
