>>6083646Honestly, I'd throw in one of the figuarts just for variation, especially if they get cheaper. I've only had mine for the day, and a good chunk of that was spent digging in his shoulder to remove some mold flash, but he's very nice. I'll probably pick up the hovertank commander when he's out, as I like that design a lot more and it looks like they got the body right.
+as much as I'm ok with hasbro elbows, double jointed ones are straight up better and you don't have to finagle them as much to get him to hold his gun.
+Articulation all around is generally better, like you'd expect. It's basically what you're paying extra for.
+Drop down hips make it easier for him to move his legs. Kneeling seems to be harder than with the black series though, somehow.
-Like the FO trooper last year, he has weak feet. They have great side to side range, but extremely limited forward/backward, and the toes are molded in a permanent upward curve that makes them a little unstable.
-He doesn't have that crazy ab joint the FO trooper did. His torso range is just good.
=He's a little shorter than the black series, which I'm cool with as a little height variation looks good like you said.
Armybuilding something that costs 4.5k isn't great, but depending on how much it'd cost you to import the grunt, the figuarts might be an easier buy.
>>6083648The figuarts are on top, respectively. They're unpainted, made of a much harder plastic, and the triggerguard is a solid piece.
