As per Hong Kong friends that got this figure, articulation has been much improved compared to the previous TFA version!

That's not a problem if you remove the under suit on the TFA Stormtrooper.
But good to hear they're addressing the issues of the first version, I'm betting they'll do the same to a new version of Phasma.

Awesome. I was curious about that. Was happy when I read that they redid the body suit, happier to hear it actually made a difference. I'm definitely interested in this guy, but I'm trying to save myself for TLJ Luke and Rey. And Kylo. And Poe. And Finn.... I have an issue.

Man almost all ST designs have been awful. They really need some concept artists and designers like Ralph McQuarrie, Joe Johnston, Andrew Ainsworth, etc. The Prequel designs were great too and even stuff from the Clone Wars. Rogue One was good as it was mostly based on earlier designs but the new stuff has been terrible. I can count on one hand the really cool designs from TFA and TLJ.

Just calling these Stormtroopers makes me sick and don't get me started on the Paentorian Guards or whatever those red samurai's are.

Surprised there hasn't been any comparison pics yet.

awesome news on the articulation. I don't mind many designs being ho-hum. Makes it easier to pass

I agree. Every thing looks plastic/oversimplified. Unappealing... and those First Order Walkers...

 

[Kay-ess-cee]

The ONLY thing I can fathom on these new walkers is that those front legs fold in allowing it to "kneel" thus avoiding the Hoth tripping debacle of 1980. Still ugly, but that's my guess.

So I wonder if this Trooper is the equivalent of an internal affairs officer who just so happens to have a license to Kill. Or if he literally is just an executioner. So, they find out a guy committed treason they try him and then this guy chops off his head with electricity? Would seem weird to give a guy a special outfit just for that purpose though. But if it means selling more toys I guess that's reason enough.

If they want to sell this toy, Disney should say this is actually TR-8R. He's most likely dead though.

Great marketing idea.....

But also I think this is a squad.....

I really hope they play up the traitor thing much more. I am still thinking Rose is somehow connected to that trooper that gets killed and makes Finn defect..

Not a fan of the armor design but the weapon and the concept of an Imperial executioner is ****ing awesome. The Empire having a medieval-style executioner to show more domination and power makes so much sense.

Am I the only one that enjoyed Stallone Dredd more than Urban Dredd? It's a guilty pleasure type of film......along with Demolition Man.

Plus they make pizza.....Win win scenario.

I'm just glad the new troopers have the teeth/ grill added back into the design. It was a mistake to remove the evil grimace from the trooper look in the first place. When they release standard troopers, I'll have to snag a helmet to replace my Jakku trooper.

Yes, you are.
