This unit of troops looks to be particularly lethal in their methods and the figure seems to capture that\u00a0design faithfully. They come across as a lot bulkier that the standard First Order Stormtrooper\u00a0and evoke a silhouette reminiscent of the Republic Trooper from <em>The Clone Wars<\/em> era. The figure stands well even with his bulky backpack and the paint (or lack thereof) is applied well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CONS:<\/strong>\u00a0The figure could have been served better if the arms were sculpted to be able to hold the flamethrower rifle with both hands, as it looks a bit silly in an outstretched arm. Despite being a pretty solid figure, there does seem to be an issue with the hose from the flamethrower staying attached to the backpack. It seems to stay in place initially, but if you pose the (right) arm, the tension on the supply hose can result in it coming off peg. Not a huge deal but maybe frustrating for the kiddos during play. And what is that build-a-weapon pack-in supposed to be? A shield? A gun? A key fob? Obviously it is part to a larger construct, but on it&#8217;s own, it&#8217;s as out of place in the line as the other individual BAW components.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yakfaceforums.com\/TGuide2004\/html\/TFA\/BAW\/FO_flametrooper.html\">Head to the toyguide<\/a>\u00a0for the full\u00a0image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure\u00a0is worth adding to your collection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0Yakface Toyguide\u00a0updates continue\u00a0our\u00a0series of additions for\u00a0The Force Awakens\u00a03-3\/4\u2033 line.
