>>6203966Noticed the Shadow Trooper is down to sensible prices after the Death Trooper released, been thinking of picking a couple up. Still prefer the classic Blackhole design to the Death Trooper.
The original RotJ Stormtroopers are far from perfect, but I still like them for some inexplicable reason. You can get decent poses out of them with work, and the elbows will go a little further than 90 with some coaxing. You have to rotate the forearm guard to where it's the most scalloped-out and push the top hinge as far as it'll go before moving the bottom hinge. Also I don't know if it's because they were making these in far smaller batches to start with, but they are just really, REALLY nicely-made. I've got several and they're all perfect QC-wise right across the board. The only figure in the line better-made is the Scout Biker.
The R1 versions are all-round better figures, though, and come with way more accessories.
