I only got one trooper, but I gotta say I am underwhelmed with this figure. It's glossy everywhere (no matte spots for added dimension) and he seems reeeeal short. I thought these guys were like 9 or 10 feet tall. I just compared him to my Mando and he is maybe 1/4" taller. I thought these robots were at lest full head taller than Mando in the show.
So I have mine unboxed now, and I have to say, my impression is just about polar opposite fro. Yours, BACON, with respect…
I was a little afraid initially that the gloss plastic would look cheap, or at least a little flat and un-metallic. But in hand, I think they look incredible! The Diecast joints offer plenty of contrast, in my opinion to avoid the two-dimensional look. And the light up features are simply awesome! They look so menacing, just as they did on the show and will display with the collection marvelously!
As for the height complaint, and speaking solely for the Mandalorian incarnation of the trooper, this is the best I could do…
From a couching position, Din comes to about two thirds of the way up to the windows of the Dark Trooper compartment:
The Dark Trooper, up against the door trying to punch it down (while also possibly partially crouched), appear to be just slightly taller than the window.
So taking all that into consideration, I’d say half a head to maybe a full head is pretty representative of the height difference. So Justin’s comparison from his video, isn’t COMPLETELY unrealistic given the evidence. You can also extend the hips downward to give the Troopers a bit more height:
