After yesterday’s tease, Hot Toys has announced the BARC speeders. The speeders were based on their appearance in the Emmy-winning series Star Wars The Clone Wars. There will be two different versions. The first one comes with Commander Appo. While the second one is with a sidecar and comes with the heavy weapons 501st clone trooper from Battlefront II.
COMMANDER APPO AND BARC SPEEDER
Hot Toys is excited to be expanding its Star Wars collectibles line up today by introducing a greatly detailed 1/6th scale collectible set featuring Clone Commander Appo and a 501st Battalion BARC Speeder inspired by the popular Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series!
A clone trooper in Republic service, Appo took part in a number of critical battles during the fight against the Separatists. In the final days of the war, Appo accompanied Anakin Skywalker to Coruscant’s Jedi Temple as part of Order 66 to eliminate all the Jedi…
The BARC speeder gave a clone troopers increased operational range, great speed, mobility, and firepower otherwise unavailable to the foot soldier. A more aggressive and bulkier design than slimmer speeder bikes used by the Jedi, the BARC speeder was used in scouting and escort missions on a variety of worlds.
The highly-detailed collectible figure is specially crafted based on the appearance of Commander Appo. It features beautifully crafted Clone Trooper armor and helmet, skillfully tailored outfit, a blaster rifle, and a display base!
As for the new 1/6th scale BARC Speeder, it measures 68cm in length and features detailed mechanical structure, beautifully paint application with weathering effects, articulated handle bars, and a rocky themed base.

HEAVY WEAPONS CLONE TROOPER AND BARC SPEEDER WITH SIDECAR
An army is only as effective as its mobility, so the Grand Army of the Republic was outfitted with an increasingly varied and versatile vehicle pool as the Clone Wars progressed. The BARC speeder gave clone troopers increased operational range, great speed, mobility, and firepower otherwise unavailable to the foot soldier. A more aggressive and bulkier design than slimmer speeder bikes used by the Jedi, the BARC speeder was used in scouting and escort missions on a variety of worlds. They were easily adaptable, with support struts that could be added to hold a stretcher or sidecar.
