[Trivial Psychic]

My First Order troopers finally arrived via Amazon.



I must say, I'm very satisfied with them. I've read a number of complaints about the decreased articulation, but it really wasn't that much of a deal breaker, as several of the other Black Series figures (Boba, any of the Jedi characters, Han) also have single jointed elbows. I'm able to get them holding their blasters with both hands no problem. They also hold the larger battle rifles from the clone troopers and original trilogy stormtroopers, so that's also a plus. I also dig the clever manner of weapon storage as well. I really hope to see how that looks in the movie.

What I really dig though, is the harder plastic that the figure is made out of. The troopers feel more sturdy now than they ever have been, and for once, I didn't have to give one a blowdryer treatment right out of the packaging. The paint apps could be a little cleaner considering it is only black and white, but still...it was worth the wait to get them. Now onto Phasma, and I'm done with Black Series until Kanan, Ahsoka, and Jango come out...
