Little late, but better than never

First up, Bossk:

I had no idea the he sports a movable jaw, that is a real nice surprise. and the paint works looks super crisp too.

I can't wait to get mine.

[Tony_Bacala]

Yeah, that was cool. As I said, not really a big Bossk fan, but as a figure, it's really well done.

[En Sabah Nerd]

My Bossk (as I mentioned on "look what I just got" thread) is improperly assembled. The stick in his torso joint is either too long or wasn't put together right so he stands a couple of centimeters higher than he should. It doesn't bother me and it's actually kind of neat that mine is taller since in almost anything but the movie Bossk is depicted as being closer to Vader's height. Even with the defect I'd still say Bossk is one of the best Black Series figures so far just as a toy. It helps that I've always liked Bossk second only to Boba as a bounty hunter.

I agree with Dragasses. LOL

And, Hantrooper is live.

[En Sabah Nerd]

I definitely would have picked up Han-trooper if I didn't already have a normal Stormtrooper or if I were the army building type.

[Skoob]

Ditto. I snagged the last Stormtrooper from the local Target before it closed its doors forever. I agree: this Han looks better than regular Han.

Anecdotally, Black Series boxes seem to be a magnet for 'corner crush.' It doesn't matter if I purchase in-store or online: at least one corner will be crushed. I guess shipments get bashed bumped around quite a lot in transit. I look forward to the day when I purchase a figure and find the packaging undamaged.

I haven't had that issue, maybe it's just the people who ship and handle it in your area. It wouldn't be the first time that whoever delivers it in one area does a worse job than those in other places.

And another Han has dropped. But you know what, I don't care. All have been solid. This is prob my fave yet.

Looks good. Better than I hoped. I especially like the inclusion of the binoculars.

Nice photos too! Adding ProtoFett was a nice touch.

[En Sabah Nerd]

I really want them to make a Snowtrooper. Proto-Fett looks like he's in a ballet with Chewie in the one pic.

[Spoon]

Ballet with Chewie. Lol. I see it. Great pics man. Proto Fett fits perfectly.

Is there missing articulation in the wrists on Han? I've heard complaints about missing articulation and size. I'll be picking up both sets the first time they go on sale or I get a coupon. They look good to me.

Yes, he has no wrist articulation. But does have a forearm swivel where the glove meets the coat. Not that big of a deal IMO, but I get why people would notice, I think most other if not all have had it.

[Cyclopswc]

Wrong color! The coat is BROWN!

Hoping they would think about issuing proper vehicles for this line, X-Wing fighters etc ...
