Obviously there isn’t a whole lot of paint variety on this figure. Somehow I just think this new guy is a little more convincing as a guy in armor. There’s more definition between the armor plates and some of the exposed black undersuit, particularly in the inner thighs.
Put the two figures together and you can see a huge difference and that really drives home the concept of old and new.Īnother thing that struck me straightaway is the new armor looks and feels a tad bulkier. And if I were to pick the one thing that impresses me most about this guy it would be the lovely sheen on the armor. The regular 6-inch Black Stormtrooper is an excellent figure, but the armor isn’t shiny enough for me. I was expecting more similarities, and in turn some parts sharing between the figures, but everything here appears to be brand new. Probably the most fun thing for me about getting this figure in hand, at least initially, was having the ability to scrutinize the new armor with the old. You get a little blurb about the new First Order Stormtroopers on the back of the box, but no answer to the one question I want to know: Can they shoot straight? When the film was first revealed, it never even occurred to me that anyone would try something so bold as to redesign the iconic Stormy armor and yet we soon got a shot of the helmet and it was love at first sight for me. Once again, there’s the newly redesigned packaging for the series and I’m still totally digging it. If anyone out there got him and wants to chime in on whether he’s any different, please be my guest!
Yes, I am aware that Chewbacca was included in this assortment, but I opted out on him as I already have the previous Black Series release. Here we are at the fourth and final day of Force Awakens Week and I’m wrapping up my look at this initial assortment of 6-inch Black with the sexy new Stormtrooper armor of Episode 7.
