Rahm Kota's Militia elite
When Jedi Master Rahm Kota was a general in the Clone Wars, he refused to have anything to do with the Clone Army as he never trusted the Clone troopers. Instead, he formed his own unique unit of hardened soldiers which he recruited from local militias, mercenary groups and even Separatist prisoners of war. After Order 66 was issued, most of Kota's soldiers remained loyal to him and accompanied him into hiding.
Elite:
The most elite soldiers of Kota's militia were assigned to heavy weapons duty. They were trusted to the important tasks of providing cover fire for their fellow allies and also defending critical positions during raids. They wore a slightly heavier and more protective armor than the standard troopers but still wore the standard helmet that represented the militia. They carried little equipment or supplies, not even wielding any side-arm blasters and bombs. Instead, their only weapon was a Z-6 rotary blaster cannon, which they used not only in defense of their teammates and positions, but also to inspire fear and confusion in their enemies.

The figure:
The figure is completely new and comes in the new TRU exclusive TFU multi pack (number 1) with four other figures from the game. The paintwork and detailing is excellent on this figure.
The accessories:
The figure comes with a Z-6 blaster (not the CW version) which comes with several Clone Trooper figures like the Galactic Marine from the BF II pack or the Order 66 BARC Trooper. The survival backpack, the shoulder plating and the helmet are removable.
The articulation:
*ball-jointed neck
*ball-hinged shoulders
*ball-hinged elbows
*swivel wrists
*swivel waist
*swivel hips
*ball-hinged knees
*no articulation in the ankles
The rating:
The articulation is not perfect but ok.
All in all a very nice and interesting figure. I hope we'll also see the Militia saboteur and the Militia trooper in the future.
9/10

No problem buddy, I hope you like the figure when you pick one up.
