Cool pics, Panelgutter! 
Yeah, these Stormtroopers are really fun. You can't get much articulation out of the elbows or the wrist pegs, as the hands always seem to get chopped off by the forearm armor if you try and bend the hand too much at the wrist. The detail in the figure makes up for it though. If you have a Kylo Ren, it's fun to get a few and pose them around him. After getting Kylo, I ended up getting a standard Stormtrooper, Heavy Gunner Stormtrooper and the Jakku Stormtrooper.

I can't even get him to stand in a neutral stance as his arms don't go down all the way to his sides.
Does the underlying body have a bicep swivel above the double elbow?Or am I just feeling the bicep armor moving when I twist there?

I'm addicted to these now. Jakku trooper and heavy gunner should be here next week. Thought I'd start out the opening scene with my regular trooper for now.

In addition to this figure, the Jakku one and Heavy Gunner are the ones I have also.

Great picture! Did you mod the body in anyway to achieve that pose? Did you remove the fat suit under the armor/wetsuit?
Thanks! Are you stopping there? I'm in for an officer and the squad leader as soon as I can.
Thanks! No mods, he's all stock. After reading all the comments about articulation I thought he was doomed for a boring pose but he's just fine. Takes a little more effort than most figures but definitely not the worst articulation I've ever seen. 1989 Batman is much worse than this.

I found him pretty easy to pose. Just got to be a bit forceful and it stays. Wow I did not know you can twist that extra handle on the rifle to make a butt stock. Now I know!

I saw this at the LCS today and half the figure was yellowish, as though from prolonged UV exposure.
Was it in the store window?

No, it was in a glass cabinet inside a store in a mall. One whole side of it, boot and all, was yellow. Whatever it'd been exposed to, it must've happened reasonably quickly.
How are you guys achieving these great poses? My stormie doesn't seem to want to do anything.

That's what I'd like to know also. The best pose I can pretty much have mine in is holding his blaster at ease in front him. While the Stormies are undoubtedly cool, the elbow joints don't seem to have much articulation to them.
Got this pose last night. Just have to work with them and not be afraid of bending the elbow joint. The shoulders need to be broken in to get them to lift high so maybe it's not something you'll achieve day one (I got this guy in early December).
Armor had to be positioned in certain ways to allow the joints to bend this far. Hard to get much out of the legs as one of the feet on mine is constantly falling off.

Great pose, TonTon!
I think the hips are a bit more restrictive than the arms but I'm still able to get a decent pose out of him.
Off to a good start...can't put up anymore yet...need to make some more space and move figs around...
