Why Make a Funko POP of Pong Krell and Captain Rex?
The episode “The Carnage of Krell” is part of the Umbara Arc of The Clone Wars. This four-episode narrative is considered one of the best story arcs of the series. It’s a significant turning point for one of the show’s main characters, Captain Rex, voiced by Dee Bradley Baker. Rex is the clone captain of Anakin Skywalker (Matt Lanter). He and his team are left in the care of Jedi Master Pong Krell, voiced by Dave Fennoy, who uses questionable methods in his battles. As Rex and his men begin to question the Jedi master, the cost of war rises to its breaking point when Rex uncovers the truth: General Krell has fallen to the Dark Side and has made the clones attack their own men. Rex and the clones choose to battle the fallen Jedi and bring him to justice.
The GameStop exclusive Funko POP! Star Wars: The Clone Wars Jedi Master Pong Krell and Captain Rex Vinyl Bobblehead 2-Pack will be available on Christmas Day. You can purchase them on GameStop’s website. Check out the figures below.
