Sideshow has
Clones on the way, and likely lots of them! Which ones? Help them decide which one
is guaranteed by participating in their new "Pick your favorite Clone Trooper
armor style!" poll!
Choose from a variety of Episode III clones: 501st, Shock Trooper, 212th (orange),
187th (purple), 9th Assault Corps (gray), and 38th armored (tan). My guess is it will
be a tight race between the 501st and the Shock Trooper! Head
