Well S.H. Chewie does come up a bit short he should be at 7 inches but is only 6.7 inches. So it only falls short of .3 of an inch. But im personally ok with this difference myself. The figure in hand is just a really awesome figure. As much as I would love to have a go at painting up a Hasbro or making the custom hair mod it still sits at 8 inches which is rather tall. But i can definitely understand why you prefer it. Any star wars figure is a good star wars figure in my book. Lol but im a bit of a star wars addict.

Lol yup. We've got options, which is great.
I'm really not sure what you're complaining about with the troopers they have made, they've all been top notch
All of their Troopers, well MOST of their troopers are either:
Under scaled - The Shore Trooper for example, is a great sculpt. But its body and head is so tiny (the helmet is roughly the same size as an unmasked characters head) that it looks like it takes Voodoo magic to get the person into the armor when comparing it to figures within their own line. Let alone compared to other lines. Most of their figures fit in fine with other lines, their troopers barely fit with their own.
(And on a related note, they just don't know how to do tall characters. Phasma, Kylo, Vader, Chewie, all under sized. Then they got Vaders height right the second time and make his sculpt almost worse than the first one. The Death Trooper is supposed to be tall and lanky. They made it short and stocky.)
Terribly Sculpted - The original stormtrooper is so hilariously wonky it looks like a cartoon version. Like they based the sculpt off of Rebels. The RO version is better for sure, but that helmet is still pretty bad and off. The Phase 1 Clone is PERFECT. And then they stretched out the Phase 2 helmet to the point that it looks like amateur fan art. Some of the guns don't even have a hole for the trigger. Its just sculpted plastic filled in with more black plastic where there should be a hole for the trigger finger to go in.
Lacking Paint - Figuarts either does an amazing job with the paint (Mimban Stormtrooper) or forgets how to paint all together (C3p0). OR straight up lies about their paint job (Phasma and 3p0 were shown to be chrome in promo images, are barely glossy in person). Their scout trooper is pristine and white when those guys are literally in the muck. Even the SAND TROOPER they just showed off is pristine and white. I'm surprised the Mimban Trooper wasn't pristine and white. They gave us a semi gloss coated 3p0 who's supposed to be roaming through the desert, without a drop of weathering on his body. Same for R2.
Lacking Accessories - Compare their Clone Trooper to the Mafex or Model kit. They both give you parts to swap between phase 1 and 2 with all of the weapons to go with them. Shore trooper? Figuarts made one type, with two terribly sculpted blasters (with no paint on them at all). Mafex? Makes 2/3 types from the same box. Beautifully sculpted and painted weapons with slings attached. Model kit gives you parts to make your figure into one of all 3 types. Death Trooper? Same deal. Terribly sculpted weapons that are only a step up from the black series versions in quality of the plastic while the model kit and mafex give you everything for both types.
Though Figuarts has been dropping the ball on accessories in general if you look at what other companies are offering for their version of a character.
They're just not worth the price when you get more from other companies. Sometimes for less money.
Does it say december? Because I kinda expected rots obi first after anakin, but that might still be the case then.
