Clone Army Customs Review: Rex and 501st Helmets

[Mraz Skintas]

Hello all,

I recently purchased a handful of helmets from the Minifig and an Accessories store, Clone Army Customs, and i must say, I am very pleased. I bought a few custom rifles as well as the majority of the Helmets for the Umbarra Arc 501st Troopers, but for whatever reason I forgot Tup and Appo. These customs are very good quality and very detailed. They fit in nice with LEGOs official figs, although they're a tad different in size/ shape, but it's no big deal. I only included Rex and the regular 501st helmets in this review because those are the only figures I have for them at the moment. The rest them will be reviewed with custom bodies in the future. Anyway, the pictures!

LEGO's Rex, and CAC's Rex. I'm not sure which I like better, both are great, but they're also both missing things that the other has. LEGO's lacks the holes in the side, and the grey in the back, where CAC's lacks the blue welding marks on the front. I'm sure they could be easily added though

As you can see, the helmet works well with the official LEGO minifig.

The differences between these two are a bit more numerous, but again, I like them both. CAC's has printing on the back; the grey, and the blue stripes that go all the way back. And it has a bit smaller of a visor, makes LEGO's looks more like an Episod III version, but that could just be me.

CAC's Helmet is a little bit smaller, but is still fits well on the LEGO fig, and it looks more like a Clone Wars clone.

The guns; 5 DC-17s, 5 DC-15s, and the two very shiny gold freebies I got with my purchase, a DC-17m and a Scuba rifle. Again, very detailed peices, and they have a very good feel to them.

Like I said, I'll have reviews of the others up when I make the rest of the figs. This is my first review, and I'd like to do some more, but if needed, constructive criticism would be very much apprecieted. I hope you enjoyed

This is great. I have not been able to find a decent review of any of CAC's things! If you do more reviews on this stuff that would be awesome!

Maybe I've just missed it in the past, maybe It's new, but how do you get those shiny golds? They have absolutely no use for layouts, but I'm sure they would look great in one of my customs hand!

Thank you! I plan on purchasing from him again in the future, so I'll get definitely do more reviews. As for the gold guns, they were just freebies that came with my order. Most custom stores like that, i.e, Brickforge, Brickarms, Arealight, throw in a few random freebies with each purchase. Some stores do it buy amount spent, I'm not sure how CAC does it though.
