Paint Application:
Not much in the way of paint here. He’s mostly grey and black. The face looks rather clean. (And it should)
Rating 3.0 out of 5 Holocrons

Overall sculpt:
Since I'm not convinced with the head sculpt and the way the shoulder joints were sculpted so as to not have a straight to the side pose, I have no choice but to downgrade the mark in the area.

Accessories:
This is the area in which the figure exceeds! The blaster fits into the belt and the chest armor is clip on, while also having a helmet to outfit the figure with. Thus transforming him from a possible desk officer to a formidable field commander.

Customization possibilities:
Here we have a mixed bag.. For the most part it’s a great figure to custom. It’s just those darned 30 degree angled arms! Other than that, you've got a great Imperial Officer to custom. Since he’s a General, a careful sanding off of ranks and you could have a Commander (3 pips) or Lieutenant (2 pips) or Ensign (1pip). Head swap and cut the hat off and there you go.

Playability:
For the most part this figure has a bit of play value. Some poses can be attained with him and with the removable armor, he can be placed into several scenes.

Overall Score:
A most welcome upgrade for this character. It does have it’s weak points in articulation, but overall it’s a worthy purchase. With the possibility of customizing, if you're into that, he becomes a MUST HAVE figure. Removable armor really makes this figure as well. All in all this should receive high marks. fix the arms so they can be posed straight and maybe give us knee articulation and he'd be a perfect 5 on my scale of 1-5.
