The\u00a0Yakface Toyguide<\/a>\u00a0updates resume with our next entry in the The Black Series 3-3\/4\u2033 line. Today, we take a look at the Stormtrooper<\/a>\u00a0(#13).<\/p>\n

PROS:<\/strong>\u00a0Although army building isn’t much of a thing anymore with today’s figure prices, this Stormtrooper\u00a0is a pretty decent version if you were so inclined. The figure uses the ultra-articulated body (the one with ball-jointed hips) and includes the newer E-11 blaster sculpt that features the collapsible stock. For good measure, Hasbro included a second blaster rifle for additional display\/play options.<\/p>\n

CONS: <\/strong>From the samples I have, there seems to be varying degrees of paint app quality from figure to figure – most notably on the helmet. Also, since this uses the Sandtrooper mold, the slot to accept the backpack is still present which may be a distraction, but only if you are really looking at the figure from behind. Lastly this figure includes a holster (cannibalized from the TAC20 Stormtrooper) but due to the bulkier design of the E-11 blaster, it doesn’t fit in the holster very well.<\/p>\n
