    I don't think it's black, I think it's a very dark blue (darker than normal ARC)

    I've not seen darc's picture yet, so I'll go look at that.

    In that case, I have seen it, and to me it looks more dark blue than black. Can anyone who has the fig confirm whether it is blue or black?

    I hope it's black.

    EDIT: Well, from the loose shot's you can tell it's black, but from this shot, it looks blue:

    I'm glad that it's black though :)

    I can tell you that the red ARC Commander's waistcoat is identical[/] to that of the gray ARC's. I have both of them, so I know. :)

    Actually from what I've seen (at least one picture of a clearly different dark gray waistcoat) and am now reading (two reports of blue/gray waistcoats) it sounds like there's two versions of the Red ARC. Not surprising, given that there were errors on the original version as well.

    Which would make a total of four variations. *shakes head* This is getting nuts.

    Don't me so insistent that the version you have is the only version out there PM.

    I'm not being insistent, darc. I'm just answering Guff's question. :)

    There's too many variations. Don't you feel sorry for those completists who have to have every figure and every variation of each figure? Me neither. :p Again, I don't think these are actual "errors" on Hasbro's part. I think they do it on purpose so that we'll buy everything that they supposedly screw up on. [face_mischief]

    [face_laugh] I know, I have one of these guys in my fanforce, and man, like when all the clonetrooper 3-packs were announced with all the different variations, he went like nuts! lol.

    I love him to death :D , but man, sometimes I pity how he is so compelled to buy every single darned figure.

    I could go nuts keeping track of every single variation. Which is why I don't... :p

    Well I finally got my red Arc in the post today, bought from a US-based seller on eBay (I'm in the UK). Took one week to get here - way to go! :D
    Amyway, he came with a grey skirt, and only one gun as in the grey Clone - bit of a disappointment since in the cartoons he has 2 pistols, I think he'd look better with a black skirt.
    Still, never mind, he still looks great leading my 4 grey clones into battle now I've given him the Clone pilot's pistol in his right hand and the normal rifle in his left.
    Red ARCs, every home should have one. :p

    Mon, there is a variation with the black skirt (still one blaster though), and that looks far better.

    Really? Cuz all the ones I've seen (and the 3 red ARCs that I have) all have that blueish-gray skirt from the original ARC.

    I hope they stop making the Red ARC with blue skirt, it just doesn't look right.

    Agreed, not only is it a lame idea, it's also a lame shade.

    That's a little Bright! Has to be a custom job.

    I'm still on the lookout for a Red ARC myself. Plenty of Gray/Blue available but no Red.
