Day 225, Quasi-Quarantine: "Crosshair" Snipes His Way Into Our Imagination


When the "Bad Batch" made an appearance in the final season of "Star Wars: The Clone Wars," excitement built around these unique, fascinating characters. Part of Clone Force 99, the Bad Batch was comprised of four clones with genetic mutations.

"Crosshair" is a sniper for the Bad Batch, taking advantage of his exceptional eyesight that makes him deadly from up to 10 kilometers away. This character is supposedly based on Clint Eastwood and described as a "clone version of Cad Bane" -- easily one of the best villains in the Clone Wars universe. Crosshair is sarcastic, aloof, and distrustful of "regs," or regular clone troopers, making him an immediate favorite.


As immediate fans, we secured custom minifigures to represent Clone Force 99. The Crosshair version comes with his trademark 773 Firepuncher sniper rifle and DC-17 hand blaster, along with commando armor that is modified to accommodate the scope of his sniper rifle.

This is a worthy addition in advance of the much-anticipated new "Bad Batch" TV series. We'll discuss his colleagues, Sergeant "Hunter," "Wrecker," and "Tech" later, but this one is dedicated to (in my opinion) the most interesting and creative-looking Bad Batch member.
