One of the velcro pads came off the knee armor piece. Should I use any specific kind of glue to reattach it?

I've had this happen pretty often. I just use Krazy Glue. If you don't want to use something so permanent, fabritac also works and can be peeled off if need be.

What is the purpose of Phasma's cape pockets? To store lightsabers?

If anyone can snap a quick pic of a lightsaber handle as to whether or not it fits in I would happily appreciate it.

Going off some of the leaked stuff regarding Phasma in Episode 8 I think people who got this figure will be glad they did. Sounds like they are going to go in a cool direction with the character.

 

[dw316]

I don't want to know what was leaked about her character, but would you say they would possibly make an updated one with more accessories perhaps?

I was considering her with the 25% coupon, but then it became 15% and now I think she'll be around for a while so I might just wait on a better discount, or an episode VIII version if that gets made.

 

[guyver1]

So what do you guys think Phasma will look like in EP VIII

No one knows any specifics about what she looks like. I would imagine the main suit won't change.

Well allegedly the trooper helmets look different so I would imagine Phasma might change as well.

The info on he Stormtroopers is pretty sparse, but aside from some new variant troopers, which is inevitable, the standard Stormtrooper is said to have some minor tweeks like having the mouth on the helmet to look more like the original Stormtrooper. I've really hope this is true as I've been saying since I saw TFA that the Stormies really needed that toothed grill/ grimace to look right.

I hope the trooper helmets don't change. I need them to match with what I already have. If they change them I would stop building my trooper army.

 

[dms54nyc]

If they stay the same as what you have, arent you done building it anyway?

 

[Reikai]

So, what is up with her cape pockets? To store lightsabers like General Grievous?

That wouldn't make a ton of sense. The Jedi have been basically wiped out for 6 or so years and that was done entirely by the Knights of Ren. And the First Order didn't really do any sort of attacking until TFA.

Perhaps Phasma was one of the Knights? I mean, there are six other individuals armed with guns and spears like the 6 bounty hunters that stood on the Executor's bridge with Vader. And Kylo was standing in the rain holding an unlit lightsaber hilt with the knights. Her cape pockets are prolly to store grenades, holograms, etc. Episode VIII can't come soon enough.

 

[wadeit0ut]

Perhaps Phasma was one of the Knights?.

Definitely not.

 

[Reikai]

Definitely not.

Perhaps. No proof for the Knights being force sensitive.

Why would she go from being a Knight of Ren, to a Captain in the first order? The Knights of Ren are still around.

 

[Hellion]

So I just got this figure and opened her a few minutes ago. Right away the knee armor fell out of the box, Velcro is still attached but whatever they used to glue the knee caps to it must've crumbled away, easy enough fix but a little annoying. My biggest gripe is the cape, horrendous material, it doesn't hang and drape naturally at all, anyone have any advice on how to make it any better? Also aside from the random pockets what it that strip of cloth hanging off of her cape about halfway down? Verdict is still out on this figure for me right now.

 

[Hellion]

Well I found out the cloth strip is just a random costume piece. Will the water treatment work on this cape material?
