Great informative pics for those who haven't gotten the set yet.

What are those flappy scrotal packs at their sides? Ammo? Ice-white Pop Tarts? Floppy discs?

Tampon dispensers.

More feminine reference in conjunction with stormtroopers. What's happening here?

Pic above was taken with iPhone; lens distortion is present but was shot at a distance to reduce it, then zoomed and cropped.

In-hand, the helmet looks more screen accurate than any image I've seen online, proportion-wise.

Read the new draft. Troopers were all women, even the ones with the deeper voices.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhh... that's one of JJ's key surprises in the new trilogy: female stormtroopers. He'll make them 'real' for the fans.

Armour has the gloss of Medicom but honestly even better, deeper lustre to it. The rigidity and strapping of SSC.

Figure is fairly light but feels tight and high quality.

The ankle gap is black fabric that could be covered with a white "sock" but once posed in several, though not all positions, it's not terrible.

The "power cells" on the right knee being a separately attached piece is a very nice touch.

WTF, get out your shift lens man, and get rid of those perspective issues.

Appreciate all the detailed pics, ZE! Keep going!

LOL...my girl has the Canon Mark II and the L Series macro with it. Kicking it lo-fi.

What's rigid, the armor? Like SS? I thought it would be more pliable than that.

And what are the power cells? Those boxy things -- always thought that was just for ramming.

Sniper plate on knee is also separately moulded and attached. Overall sculpt is sharper than I expected.

Abdominal buttons may be on separate plates too.

Does the figure slide around in its armor when you pick it up? Or does it hold position fairly well?

 

[Pixelpiper]

I can't be the only one still wondering why Stormtroopers wore armor at all though, right? We didn't see any in the films, but were there a lot of knife-fights in the galaxy?

QC on trooper #1 is flawless.

Haven't unboxed #2 yet.

I'm beyond happy with these. I am GEEKING OUT.

The bicep armour rotates freely but can be pushed up to snug up...everything else is tight although adjustable to varying degrees.

Haven't begun working the articulation yet. Oh yeah, hands:
