Nice pictures!
I recently managed to get one (a trade, i'm not buying anything Retaliation, i hate how they handled everything), and i agree, it's a great figure. The only thing that bothers me (slightly) is the glued-on cloak neck...why they bothered to modify a Shock trooper torso to make it even more complicated?* I'll never understand this kind of stuff. Great figure anyways. *what actually bothers me is that mine is the blue version, and the blue neck is absolutely off when the cloack is not attached. .

Yeah im glad i didnt get the blue version variant from the 1st wave..still plan to get more, and just keep the blue as a solo, just to have a variant for the collection.. |

Nah, you can't peel it off; the neck-thing is on a slot carved on the torso, much like RoC SS's jacket-neck. that's what i don't understand... why go to the trouble of modifying a torso that worked well, for something that not only makes much sense, but it's also an extra cost? (on second look, the torso is lso modified on the chest) Quote:
As a matter of fact, the gas mask looks better in blue, and makes it a great accesory for some Cobra troop.

This is one of the few figs that has a wonderful toy quality that i think many are missing. It's partially the brighter green, the accessories and "every man" appeal of the lack of character figure that leaves the imagination open.
Very cool. |

Thanks for enjoying the review!
Just a question for tankers: Are these figures on store pegs and readily available in your side of the galaxy? or Hasbro sucks there aint any unless you hunt in a 10 mile drive? |
