Of all the iconic characters in the Star Wars universe, the Rebel Fleet Trooper holds a special place in my heart. Besides the Storm Troopers, The Fleet Trooper was first seen during the boarding of the Tantive IV. At first glance, one could easily tell these were the good guys. The look, the feel and the attitude are instilled in this character. Sideshow has immortalized the brave men who fought the troopers and gave their lives for the Republic.
The figure itself sports a modest amount of articulation. Sideshow is utilizing the new body designs that replaced the first generation bodies used in the beginning of the line. The figure sports modest accessories and the details on both the gun and helmet are fantastic. Here is a break down of the accessories included: The Rebel Fleet Trooper 12 inch Figure features:

• Fully articulated male body (Art S. Buck) with 30+ points of articulation
• Authentic likeness of Lieutenant Pello Scrumbas
• Shirt
• Vest
• Pants
• Boots
• Detailed belt with holster
• Helmet with antenna
• Rebel Trooper blaster
• Interchangeable hands
• 12-inch Figure Display Base with Star Wars logo

The only issue I have with the figure is 1- the sleeves seem to short and 2- changing out the hands can be difficult. Please be careful not to snap the tab on the wrist. Other than those two issues, I am very satisfied with the figure. I know it is not an armored figure but those are coming very soon. The Rebel Fleet Trooper can now protect the Princess and will soon be joined by Captain Antilles.
