My review of the Stormtrooper

I received my Sideshow Stormtroopers on Friday, and I'm pretty happy with them. Oh, there's a couple minor issues I have with the figure, but the armored body is tighter with this release (but not quite tight enough), and I like this guy better than the Medicom version of a couple years ago. You can find the review at the usual:

Looks like a deffinite pick up for me, can't wait for them to reach the UK!

Great review Michael! Sideshow really did a great job on this release, sure some issues here and there, but of the 3 high-end 1/6 stormies released so far that seems to be the case across the board.

This is one of the few 1/6 figures from the SW line I plan on getting a second of, too hard to resist the temptation to have Vader flanked by two stormies.

And can we expect to see more "at home" shots like this in the future

Hey, they get two 10 minute breaks on every eight hour shift, you know.

They're discussing whether or not Ben killed Penny.

Great review MC. I really loved the shot of the two troopers in the kitchen.

One thing you might have mentioned was how the magnet on the holster comes out pretty easily. I have read quite a few folks who had their stick to stands or to the D pin on the blaster rifle.

Interesting - I had no trouble with the magnet on either one of mine.

Another great review, MC. I love this pic.

i loved the kitchen pic as well.

I agree with the review. Once Futzed up, he is close to a home run....

Great review. But where exactly did you get that kitchen playset? It looks fantastic and not Barbie-ish like most 1:6 playsets out there.

I for one don't have any issues with the armor. I'm betting the small cod piece was made to allow for better leg/hip articulation. Definately something I would not have noticed on my own, but I've never really been a stickler for the little accuracy problems like this.

I've had the kitchen set for a couple years now, but hadn't used it in any photos. There was just something about their armor and the white kitchen that I thought was particularly amusing. I bought the set for like five bucks on clearance at a Sears, and it's called 'my first kenmore'.

Nothing to see here.. move along. Move along.

Be forewarned though - the set is a little short for figures above the usual Barbie height. You'll notice in the photo that the figures are boosted up to get them at a better height.

Michael, that last pic had me rolling. I was like, "Damn, Mike likes to dress up like a stormtrooper!" then I was wait a minute, some of those things don't look real, then I was "Damn, Mike plays with Barbies!" Just the initial reaction.

Classic!!!!!!

I didn't know that troopers liked their ketchup frozen.

great review MC.........

Damn - I should have thought of that! I even had one laying around from CSM.

Michael -- did you gloss yours up at all? It looks like it has a little shine to it. Maybe just the way you take your pics.

you should have had one trooper bent over and pulling a cookie sheet out of that oven.
