I’ve been collecting figures from Sideshow Collectibles for years, and I’m particularly fond of the Hot Toys figures they’ve had from some of my favorite Sci-Fi and Superhero franchises. They were nice enough to send me a Hot Toys STAR WARS The First Order Stormtrooper – Jakku Exclusive to review, and man does this thing deliver. Check out my unboxing video below, along with some product pics of the figure in various poses. As I mention in the video, initially I wasn’t sure how I felt about the new Stormtrooper design in EPISODE VII – THE FORCE AWAKENS, but the more I study it the more it resonates with me.
The figure below comes with two guns (a pistol and rifle), binoculars, a backpack and more, plus a sand-themed base to stand on. The head and limbs are very adjustable, and make posing quite easy and fun.
