The Vintage Collection's modern era has been defined by newly tooled animated-media figures, and VC243 stands out as one of the most crowd-pleasing army builders Hasbro has delivered in the line. Representing the Maul-aligned Mandalorian Super Commandos from Star Wars: The Clone Wars, this 3.75-inch figure taps into deep fan enthusiasm for the Siege of Mandalore storyline and the distinctive black-and-red beskar armor that sets these warriors apart from any previous Mandalorian release in the TVC scale.
Released in August 2022 as part of a mixed-media wave — one of the most diverse TVC waves in recent memory — VC243 shares a card back with heavy hitters like Boba Fett (Morak), Reva (Third Sister), and Darth Vader (The Dark Times), alongside Clone Wars entries including 332nd Ahsoka's Clone Trooper and Anakin Skywalker (Padawan). The figure is presented on the striking dark black Clone Wars-branded card with the retro Kenner logo displayed prominently on the front face and a bright green display tray insert — a card presentation that reads beautifully on a carded display wall. This example is vintage carded and presents well overall.
For TVC collectors building out a Mandalorian faction display, VC243 is essential — and widely recommended alongside the companion VC246 Super Commando Captain release for a cohesive shelf presence. The figure's army-builder nature means multiples integrate naturally into larger Clone Wars dioramas. Whether you're completing the wave or reinforcing Maul's forces on the shelf, this is a release that consistently earns top marks from the TVC community.
