With work it looks like it should be doable but they started making the heads on these way harder to pop off than when the line was still new.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I had a hell of a time getting the head off of the Finn I bought yesterday so I could head swap him with one of my First Order troopers. I basically dropped the entire figure into the sink while it was filled with hot water, and it came off no sweat after a nice dunk.

I had Hux in my hand, and that was literally the only thing that kept me from picking him up twice already. The articulation doesn't look to be all that inhibited by the sculpt, and it would be nice to have a newer, more classic looking version of the Skull that could actually pose around a bit better.

Despite having no interest in getting the large Black Series TIE Fighter, I ended up grabbing another TIE Pilot tonight after noticing how different their helmets were to the original TIE Pilots, and how similar the helmets were to the darktroopers in various Star Wars games and media. In fact, I thought it was interesting how they actually look more in line with the original troopers helmets from the first trilogy, and less in line with the First Order's updated looks.



If only they had some sort of weapon storage for the pistol. Anyways, since I have a couple of extra blasters lying around, I now have a nice little Shadow Squadron group at a portion of the price of having to run out and pick up loose Shadow Troopers from the Target two pack off of Ebay. Me like very much...
