Wowy zowy! A much needed upgrade to a cool looking
Imperial! I was highly anticipating buying this
figure.
Here are my subjective and objective reviews for the
figure:
Head Sculpt:
I love it! Excellent job. Only one harp on it. It
seems a little squished down. Still there’s NO
mistaking which Imperial this is. Good job Hasbro!
Rating 4 out of 5 Holocrons
Articulation:
He’s SO close to perfect. But for the swivel elbows he
would be. He’s got ball jointed shoulders, knees and
the head. Though the breathing tubes do limit the
articulation a little. Swivel joints include: elbows,
hips and waist. This figure almost knocked it out of
the park with articulation. Thanks Hasbro!
Rating 4.5 out of 5 Holocrons
Paint Application:
The head and chest are taken into account here. THe
helmet is wonderful. Nice attention to detail. While
the chest apparatus can be sometimes sloppy, it
shouldn't take long to find one that is perfect or
near perfect in paint apps.

Overall sculpt:
Fantastic job here. Wrinkles in the suit abound for
the more realistic look. As mentioned the helmet is
great, so too is the chest apparatus. Other than the
head seemingly to me to be a little squished down,
this would be a perfect job.

Accessories:
Not much here as with others in this wave. All you get
is a blaster and a figure stand. Okay I'm not going to
fault them on this though as that’s all that’s needed
for this character.

Customization possibilities:
Hmm, Unless you really want to swap heads and tubes
with the ARC-170 clone pilot, there’s not much to
customize here. And why would you want too? It’s the
best representation of this character that we're ever
going to get at this scale.

Playability:
A great figure to play with or display in your AT-AT.
With so much articulation you've got a lot of options
here.
Rating 4.5 out of 5 Holocrons
Overall Score:
Truly a gem in modern collecting! This figure has just
about everything you could want from a figure. Great articulation, paint apps, sculpts. Only some minor tweaks would have put this figure in the perfect range. Still there’s really little to gripe about. If Hasbro decides to use this forever for reissues, I'd be fine with it. Thanks Hasbro for giving us a quality figure at the normal retail price!!-
