Green saber. I will say after having most of my SW Figuarts wearing all black outfits, TPM Obi is such a nice contrast to the black and figure blends so well with the others

So you guys got me looking at Vader's cape.



Black helm on the white body looks neat too.
Forgot to take a pic of that.

I like the cape look on the shadow trooper. Not feeling the cape on the white reg version, sorry
 
So I decided after three days 'screw it, I'll keep him'.

You can, with some fiddling, cheat a crouch using the ab joint. It's the same excellent design as the FO Trooper.

I feel like this figure's been unfairly maligned in most reviews. Yes, there are some accuracy issues with the helmet, gauntlets and belt, yes it should have come with a holster and a second weapon, and yes the articulation in the hips and knees is limited. However, none of those things detract from what a well-made, solid, fun figure this is.

I'm very glad I gave it a chance, I might pick up at least one more now - and maybe try and make some holsters for them.
 
^ looks good, but I think for some reason the F. O. Version seems to be better, don't know why :dunno

Not debating that, I have several FO Troopers with more on the way. Early contender for 6" figure of the year.

That said, design-wise you can't beat a classic.
 
I'm really surprised that most of you are so glad with S.H. Figuarts Stormtrooper. IMO, this figure is even more frustrating than Vader:

- Small and inaccurate helmet.
- Large neck
- Spherized and stretched chest armor.
- Small shoulder armor pieces
- Limited articulation on ankles
- No holster for gun
- No secondary gun
- Oversized Blaster
- Even being S.H. Figuarts proportions, is a little short to be a Stormtrooper ;)

So... yes, it still can be a good S.H. Figuarts, but not a good FO Stormie.
Talking about accuracy, the Black Series one is better, I think.

I'm still impressed with S.H. Figuarts Clone Trooper. That's my reference for accuracy, articulation and overall quality.

I was thinking that MAFEX troopers would be the most balanced versions, and they could replace S.H. Figuarts, but the problem is that they are taller than S.H. humans. I also expect a MAFEX Phasma.

So, my perfect choice would be:

Humans, Droids, Aliens - S.H. Figuarts
Troopers - MAFEX

I don't know, people, I don't know... this is mind-blowing... :dunno
