This spring, I ordered a Hound minifigure from an online scammer called RepublicBricks. More than a month later, after a couple of terse exchanges with this gonad, I finally received a minifigure.
The wrong one. Perhaps predictably.
Exhausted from head shaking over the entire situation, I embraced the new guy -- Commander Thorn.
A Coruscant Guard clone shock trooper who is armed with a Z-6 rotary blaster cannon called "The Hammer" when he's not being sold weaponless to the wrong people, Thorn admittedly has a tremendous look.
His armor coloring is on point, but obviously the highlight is his distinctive winged helmet. In the Clone Wars, he was charged with protecting Senator Padme Amidala, which he did to great effect, helping to save her during a Separatist Droid Army Invasion of Scipio at the cost of his own life.
Now Thorn has become an active member of multiple missions involving the Bad Batch. Hey, we'll take what we can get these days, especially when it means avoiding contact with ignorant tools.
