Star Wars Force Awakens Die Cast Elite Series Flametrooper
« on: September 11, 2015, 06:31:07 AM »
Got this bad boy in the mail yesterday.
Mostly die cast with some plastic, this Flametrooper is a hefty brute.
Some extra lower extremity twist articulation would add to the poses available with the ball jointed hips but as heavy as this guy is, I don't know how many poses his heft would allow.
The included plastic base has a foot peg which helps.
The body and plastic head sport great detail, the body being screwed together with the back pack being metal as well.
That  leaves my only real complaint being the bendy plastic used for the flame thrower which arrived already warped in the package.

He is a size larger than the black series 6 inch tfa trooper.
I have attempted some forced perspective attempts with both as well as straight up side to side shots.

Wow, that is awesome. I like it. Daggone I wish it would have been in the same scale as the six inch and I would have em. Still, if they make a Driver or Snowtrooper or Stormtrooper I will bite. No doubt. Off to share the review.

What is the price point on these?

Also, do you want me to move this to the Imperial Review Section? It is fine here, but I can move it if you would prefer it there.

Yep, please move this. It had been a while since i did any sort of review.
$24.99 is the msrp

Kind of like some of the force Friday stuff, these are prone to be sold out.

Good luck on your hunt.
