This month's featured review is on 7655 Clone Troopers Battle Pack, written by Nighthawk leader.

Still the best Battle Pack ever[edit source]

This was one of the two original Star Wars Battle Packs, released back in 2007. To this day, I still think of it as the best there has been so far. Here's why:

The minifigures[edit source]

The minifigures are for most people the main reason why people buy battle packs. In this set, there are two standard Phase II Clone Troopers, a Shock Trooper and a Star Corps Trooper. Both the Shock Trooper and Star Corps Trooper are exclusive to this set (although Shock Troopers with white legs were released in the AT-AP, and a Star Corps Trooper with a pauldron was released in the original Turbo Tank), and this was the only cheap set with regular Phase II Clone Troopers in it (the other set being the Turbo Tank. Also, there are slight differences between the clones in these sets with the helmet printing). To this day, Phase II minifigures are still very rare, although that's likely to change very soon in 2012 or 2013 at the latest, with the Phase II armour changeover happening in Season 4 of The Clone Wars. On the whole, all of these minifigures look great, with well designed printing on both the front and back of the torso. The only thing not so great is the black face which I've never really been a fan of- I much prefer the new The Clone Wars helmets with a printed visor and an actual face.
