The overall presentation is great with Hasbro foregoing the standard (read &#8220;bland&#8221;) packaging insert for a nice hangar scene. The figures themselves are nice too as there is a\u00a0blend of black and dark blue to help separate the armor from the body glove of each trooper. The sparse deco is well done with each application seeming to hit its intended mark.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CONS:\u00a0<\/strong>The packaging is the egregious offender here as the tray that holds the figures\/vehicle causes\u00a0warping to the Shadow Scout visor and the speeder bike handle bars. Fortunately, these\u00a0deflections can be easily remedied\u00a0by submerging the effected parts in hot water for a few minutes. The reissued weapons for each figure leave something to be desired as they are cast in a simple gray plastic with no paint apps which ultimately feels cheap.
