STAR WARS The Black Series Imperial Stormtrooper Toy 6-Inch-Scale The Mandalorian Collectible Action Figure

Hello there !In this review, we'll be exploring the ups, downs and other details of a figure which is one of my most recent favourites ; Star Wars Black Series Imperial Stormtrooper (from The Mandalorian).[ Note : Long Review ahead, since I will try to explain everything in detail. ]|| Product Description and Details ||Made by Hasbro, the figure comes in the new version 3 standard Black Series packaging.This Stormtrooper is mentioned to be from The Mandalorian show. However, the Imperial Stormtrooper armour has been same all throughout.There have been some older versions of the Imperial Stormtrooper in the Black Series 6 inch line. But they are no match for this current one. This is the best 6 inch Imperial Stormtrooper from Hasbro, so far.From aesthetics to quality, everything's great in this one, for the price range it comes.I have bought 2 pieces of it, and will buy even more, if I can (I mean who wouldn't want an army of these amazing looking troopers !). Got each for 1799 and it's completely worth it.Let's move into the Pros and Cons now.|| Pros ||1) AESTHETICS - 10/10 on Aesthetics. It just looks fantastic in hand.These figures are just $ 20 in US and even in India these are still budget figures (despite the exorbitant Import taxes the current Government is imposing on these figures).Therefore, for a budget figure, this will still shine bright when standing among/along with a SH Figuarts, Mafex or Bandai Model Kit Stormtrooper, which are generally 2 to 3 times it's price.2) FINISH - Excellent Finish. Not only does it look good, but it feels equally high end in hand. Very neat and crisp looking figure. No visible scratches, smudges or any awful paint bleeds in my ones.3) QUALITY - Quality is great. The aesthetics and finish determine a lot about the quality.It has got some good weight to it and most of the plastic is solid. Plastic is definitely of high quality.4) ARTICULATION - For the price point, the Articulation is just perfect. It has 30 points of articulation !A double ball joint in the head and upper neck joining area along with another ball joint on the lower neck. Two finely working butterfly joints. The elbow and knee hinge joints having much more than 90° range, even being single jointed. Considering all these in the price point, it's simply amazing.Well, the ranges of some joints may not be as crazy good as the Mafex or SHF ones. Then again, it's unfair to expect so much (the features of figures 2 to 3 times more expensive) in a figure of this budget.5) DURABILITY - Very durable. Not weak figure. Quite durable compared to some other Black Series figures. As it's been mentioned earlier, the plastic quality is undoubtedly good and quite strong. Joints are pretty strong too.Nonetheless, I'm quite sure, this Stormtrooper will last way more than any actual Stormtrooper in the stories of Star Wars.|| Cons ||Before I start the Cons, I want to make it clear that I don't have any serious gripes against this figure. The points that will be mentioned below are merely slight issues and can be easily overlooked. Hence, I will still give the figure 5/5 stars in this review.1) Slight paint bleeds in a few areas in some pieces. The ones I have received don't have them, fortunately. But from a handful of other reviews, there occur to be slight paint bleeds or unclean paint jobs in some areas in the helmet or the black buttons in the lower abdomen. But that's certainly a rare case. We can be sure most pieces aren't like that.2) Although there's a neatly sculpted blaster with it as an accessory, but at least a pair of interchangeable hands would've been sweet. Then again, they're Stormtroopers. Most of the time we see them as holding the blaster, so it still works.| Awareness Points and Tips |# There's a QC happening in some pieces. An issue of the shoulder pads. Either there are 2 left shoulder pads in both shoulders or there are 2 right ones. Also, there's another case of the left pad being placed at the right's place and vice versa.The first issue appened to one of my 2 pieces and I got it replaced. Thanks to Amazon and Cloudtail.# The wrist joints could be tight in some pieces. Do not force them in that situation. Use a hair dryer or dip the wrists in hot water, in such cases.# There's an actual unpainted head beneath the helmet. That's none other than Temuera Morrison's headsculpt. If you are a customiser, you could repaint and use it for a custom Boba Fett or Clone Commander/Trooper head. Of course, you have to recast and replicate a copy and not use the original head.# Keep an eye for sales or discounts on this. If you could get this for under 2000, then it's totally worth it.__________________________________________ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ __________________________________________Alright.

The collectible is amazing but the package was slightly damaged. Indian sellers do not understand the value of mint packaging.

El acabado del plástico es muy bueno y brillante no como otras armaduras que son de un plástico flexible pero sin brillo, las articulaciones son excelentes para hacer diferentes poses sin duda mi favorito de black series

Love this figure the new mold is great

No negative comments about this figure, besides missing couple of weapons not included & no holster for the blaster rifle like the Stormtroopers are supposed to have. Nice paint details, good articulation, nicely sculpted details. The best Stormtrooper action figure yet.

Another great figure from the Black Series.

Los stormtroopers siempre lucen bien, lo unico malo fue que amazon me envio las cajas rotas.
