Agreed with all comments above.

Bossk and IG88 look identical to the old 1980 originals in my collection, dusted off and re-packaged. In fact, my old IG88 looks better. Has there been no advancement in figure design, sculpting and articulation in thirty-five years?

These don't seem intended for the collector market. Disney and Hasbro appear to be making a determined effort to reach a new audience among today's children, consistent with the overall tone and artistic style of the cartoon.

Maybe better figures are planned for a future wave of the Black Series!

Full point to the designer for the clever packaging, though. The stormtrooper helmet is distinctive and eye-catching. My only gripe is that you can't very well re-use a blister pack, but again, that's only a priority for collectors, and we are not the target market this time.
