Commentary: Since their debut in 2020, fans have been asking figures of Clone Force 99. When The Bad Batch got their own show, we were surprised to see that the likes of Crosshair would make appearance in Mission Fleet, The Black Series, and not any of the 3 3/4-inch scale lines. There was a small kid focus, a small adult fan focus, and not much for the collector. The only other 3 3/4-inch member of the team to date is Hunter [FOTD #3,030] from 2023. A 6-inch version of Crosshair from 2021 seems to provide the basis of this figure. It's a nice one, but it's not timely. Early is on time, on-shelf with new episodes of the show is good too. Making season one costume as a figure over a year after the show ends? You're selling toys on "hard mode."

This one gets long, so I'll get right to it. He's missing a little paint, but the sculpt and articulation are very good for a figure that shares most of his construction with 2023's Hunter. If you liked Hunter, you are going to get that level of quality and satisfaction from Crosshair.

If what you wanted was a scaled-down version of the $19.99 for $16.99, here it is. He's almost exactly the same as the 6-inch figure, with a few tweaks. One, the red plate on his chest armor was left gray. Two, the removable helmet on the 6-inch figure was swapped out for a fully removable head. Articulation is pretty much the same, the sculpt is very similar - but smoother. The 6-inch figure had a lot of sculpted (but not painted) battle damage and rough spots. I think Hasbro made the right move by giving him "new" armor if they didn't have the budget to paint the scrapes. It looks pretty good, but isn't up to the standards of Hunter - he had some painted damage.

The chest is missing a red mark. The backpack has one red stripe, with the various lights and dark panels left unpainted. Given the size of the figure and how many people never open these things, I don't blame Hasbro for leaving deco off the back of most figures. The chest is an element most fans wont' miss, but the missing crosshair on his helmet (a second time) stings. He's named "Crosshair," and in the show he has a white circle with a line on his face. If we traded some color on the arms for that, I would think it was a good move. It absence with the premium price makes me wonder what we have to be charged to get something that would at least give us a pretty solid presentation from the front.

Hasbro fixed a detail I'd previously missed. Just above his shoes, on his lower legs, Hasbro elected to keep part of the armor unpainted. These were painted on the 6-inch figure, and it looks like they weren't painted on the cartoon. It's an improvement!

Budget is clearly an issue here, as you get a lot of parts. Crosshair seems to share most of his construction with Hunter - the head, left shoulder, and accessories are new. The feet have the same copyright date and oddly shallow/non-functional foot peg indentations. Also interestingly, his right forearm has a hole in it - that's where Hunter's knife storage should be. Since the articulation was good on Hunter, I doubt you'll be disappointed with what we get on Crosshair. It's consistently jointed and doesn't come up short.

The human head is great. It looks just a little bit like Clint Eastwood, squinting just a tiny bit. The hair is gray and looks perfect. The face printing turned out very nicely, keeping the crosshair mark on his actual face that the helmet left off. No notes, they did a marvelous job.

Most figures have one or two good accessories these days. Crosshair has two blasters, a backpack, a head, and that over-the-torso ammunition and armor. He can hold his gear fairly well, and I appreciate you can store most of it on board. The swappable heads present a challenge, but I'm always happy when a figure has plenty of parts he can hold and make it harder to lose.

This figure meets expectations, minus some paint on the armor. If you're patient and/or young? I recommend getting this figure and going back to grab Hunter too. Hasbro has been releasing one member of the Batch every two years, which would put our getting Tech, Echo, and Wrecker - and maybe Omega - somewhere around 2031 or 2033. It took Kenner 18 years to get Han Solo (Stormtrooper) to market, 20 years to get us the first Tarkin figure, and (as Hasbro) 48 years to deliver the Tonnika sisters. I assume younger fans might be too young to spend $17 per figure at a drop rate fitting in between major elections, but some of us are tenacious. Goodness knows I'm still waiting for some things decades later, and generally looking at a complete team or diorama feels really good. I know Hasbro has a lot of stories to make toys for, but as a fan my enthusiasm is very high for new characters - like this one - while I'm starting to look at the Rocket Launcher Trooper that arrived the same day with a heavy sigh.

Collector's Notes: I got mine from Entertainment Earth. I kind of wish Hasbro would embrace Retro for this kind of thing. Why? Speed, and lowered expectations. If a "Kenner" figure was missing paint applications (and released with the show), it is a lot easier to just shrug it off as being a stylistic choice. You're not expecting a premium figure - you're expecting the best $10-$12 figure that 1983 theoretically would have had to offer. As a $17 figure, expectations start to rise.

Show Notes: Have you seen the show? If not, it's got 47 episodes and I would say it's pretty good. The first two seasons to a great job bringing in new adventures and characters with snappy storytelling and an ongoing series of mysteries to explore in the early days of the Empire. Season 3 mostly circles the drain on the way out, trading much of the weekly adventures and fun for repetitive prison break-related stories. Most of the 2019 Disney-era TV shows have had a focus on things surrounding the cloning of the Emperor - including this show - so it might be part of a much bigger story that continues to be told throughout the Disney+ narrative. Having said that, if the clones were making you roll your eyes during The Clone Wars, this is largely a tighter version of that without as many new characters.
