TFU 2010 Imperial EVO Trooper
« on: April 24, 2010, 08:38:08 AM »
Imperial EVO Trooper

The EVO troopers (short for "Environmental") were among the Empire's most specialized stormtroopers.
Equipped with heavy enhanced armor with breathing tubes and went through a special training, they were able to survive in the most hazardous conditions such as extreme heat, acid rivers, and lightning. They were equipped with FA-3 flechette launchers and some utilized T-21 light repeating blasters. .
(wookiepedia: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/EVO_trooper)

The figure:
The figure is a repaint of the figure that was released in the 30th AC.

The accessories:
The figure comes with a black T-21 blaster, two DC-17 blaster pistols and a removable survival backpack.

The articulation:
*ball-jointed nack
*ball-hinged shoulders
*ball-hinged elbows
*swivel wrists
*swivel waist
*swivel hips
*ball-hinged knees
*ball-hinged ankles

The rating:
When I first saw the figure I wasn't really a fan of the "cow" camo but now I like it more and more. I hope Hasbro will also make the shadow version of the EVO trooper.
9/10

I realy liked the original figure so for the figure itself I could still appreciate it...  I don't however care for the new paint scheme.  it seems half-assed to me.  hasbro could have done better with coming up with a more significant/special repaint. 

a shadow evo would have been cool.... (wheels turn for custom Idea....)

bottom line is that this is not enough of an increase from the original figure to warrant getting the 5 pack this one is in.

I totally agree Spud. I'm not sure if this version of the Evo-Trooper was shown in a comic. Hasbro could have done a lot better. Same on the shadow troppers or the felucian warrior. They are all just repaints of older versions.
I hope the TFU II game brings us some new characters and also new Hasbro figures.
