Nice. I like the cell shaded look they're going with. Hopefully the AT-AT being featured prominantly will mean a good new toy release. Maybe even a new smaller and cheaper toy so I can make a home for my Rey figure without feeling too bad about tearing up a more expensive version.

we getting shadow troopers in this movie i suppose then?

Technically we already have shadow troopers because of the latest Battlefront. Even though the battles may not play out in the canon fashion Disney and Star Wars have said that the content is canon (weapons, planets, races, etc.) so Shadow Troopers are canon again and look like they pretty much always did but with the Imperial symbol emblazoned on their chest like a badge. These new guys in Rogue One look like maybe the Imperial black ops specialist guys, just a guess obviously.

oh ok i gotcha! guess we'll have to wait and see in december! i kinda wish i jumped on those 6" black series shadow troopers from Target a while back, but i just didnt want to pay that much for them tbh ya know....especially when i just wanted the speeder bike and scout mostly! heh

I was able to get the set when it was new and while I really dig both figures with their cool black and silver color scheme they aren't must-have figures especially if you already have the regular Storm/Sand Trooper and Scout with bike. It was actually a deal in a way since back when it came out the Speederbike Scout pack was its full $40 price and a regular figure was the usual $20 but the Shadow Troops pack was only $50 which was nice.

I'm looking forward to all the TFA stuff getting put on clearance when this new line rolls out at retail. There's a handful of figures I would have picked up already if they weren't 5 POA. Hopefully there will still be a few 3 3/4 inch scale BB-8s that haven't been stolen out of the two packs by then.

Those troopers look badass! Disney/Lucasfilm are doing a great job at changing the image of Stormtroopers. Useless tools to intergalactic navy seals!
