>>10118632Like I said, it's pretty identical to Hasbro's stuff. Besides Echo, I only have the Phase I on the new mold to compare the KO to but they're pretty much the same. The hands are a softer plastic like usual, the torso armor is hard just like Hasbro's. Joints are only a tad stiffer but I never feel like they're going to sheer off or anything. The only real difference is the elbow and knee pads are a bit more of rigid than what Hasbro does, but I think that's actually an improvement because it doesn't seem to get bites taken out of it as easily when you bend the arm all the way like the legit ones do.
Paint is very clean too, the blue even matches close enough with other 501st figures. There's a tiny amount of black missing where the undersuit meets the armor but that's pretty much on par with Hasbro too so I can't complain. The helmets are perfect though. And since they are all pretty clean in the deco, it gives you ample opportunity to weather them up however you want instead of each one having the same pattern like what Hasbro's would be. The biggest difference I noticed compared to other figures is the way the helmet is done. It's still a hollow piece glued over a separate head, but it seems a bit smaller since you can see the chin poking out on the bottom. I'm not sure if they took the mold that was used for the Kamino trooper or something else and it shrank a bit during manufacturing, but that's probably the only real flaw with it and it's really not even that big of a deal since the head underneath is cast in white it just kinda blends in.
If you get some just be sure to get them from AliExpress, I wouldn't trust anywhere else. In the Star Wars custom group I'm in, a lot of guys use these for custom clones and I've never seen any complaints when it comes to the quality.
