Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is, by far, the best-looking 12" Stormtrooper Hasbro (and before that, Kenner) has produced to date. Maybe not as cool as the Marmit figures, but then not nearly as expensive either. The sculpt is very nicely done, particularly the head which can often be, on 12" figures at least, wonky in terms of proportion (12" Zam Wesell, anyone?). The packaging is very nice, if you like to keep your figures packaged, but I like to open mine and stand them up. This is where the figures shortcomings are exposed. The added articulation is very cool. The figure can be posed in more "natural" positions than the somewhat stiff POTF2 version of the Stormtrooper. Sadly several crucial joints are very weak and make display of the figure a challenge. The "kung-fu" grip in the hands is pretty loose causing the gun to fall out of his hand. A lot. Scavenging a small clear rubber-band from a 3-3/4" figure and wrapping it around the Stormtroopers gun-hand a couple of times helps and isn't too noticeable from a short distance. The biggest problem is the ankles. Unless one balances the figure perfectly, it's face-plant city. Mine went down dozens of times--sometimes immediately, sometimes after several hours of seeming to stand just fine. He is now leaning on a shelf, tipped just past center, with the wall supporting most of his weight.
It's a very cool figure (now that he's wedged somewhere secure) and probably in short supply in some markets (Hasbro's distribution is decidedly uneven) so if you get a chance, grab one. Well worth the money. You'll get thirty clams worth of play/frustration just trying to stand him up.
