That is an outstanding collection. the lighting choice and the display arrangement are great.

Disney Talking Stormtrooper - a pretty cool 13" figure, very interesting to see its helmet which for a toy is more accurate than high end Sideshow 1:6 or 1:4 versions:

I do agree. I think this one looks better than the Sideshow version.

The helmet on this $40 figure is years ahead in overall shape compared to SSC 1:6 Stormtrooper figure. It is almost comparable to the old fantastic Marmit. Of course the SSC Stormie has a better armor (except the cod piece which is tiny, but on the Disney is also not too correct with those ridges), better articulation (but still floppy alas), a superb E-11 blaster. But for a toy, the Disney is AMAZING! Highly recommended to anyone wanting a cool 12-13" Stormtrooper figure with light and sound.

This is an absolutely beautiful collection! I love the focus on Imperials too! I've always said that to have a great story, the bad guys have to look REALLY cool! And Star Wars always delivered on that. I think the bad guys are a large part of what made Star Wars so popular. Vader is a terrifying, yet very stylish, villain.

Speaking of 'stylish' I see that you have everything lit up with LED lights. It's really nice to see this appearing in more collector's galleries. Lighting is really essential. The difference it made for my own collection was just beyond description. Also, This focus on Terminators, Shirow anime, and Star Wars sounds like you could have grown up with my and my brother in my house! Very similar tastes!

I subbed your Channel. I can't wait to see more from your collection!

The elusive Hasbro 6" Black Series Stormtrooper as present from my friend Shawn - a really great figure:

The 6" Stormtrooper is a great addition for your impressive collection.
I hope I can find one for my own collection.

Glad it got there.  I wondered if you would like it. It will be great for you to compare this one to the Mafex one.

Thanks again! It is a very nice figure, I painted the joints black and have to say the helmet is not as good as the Sandtrooper. Still glad I got this since my focus are Stormies :)

I took some outdoor pics of my Sterling E-11 Stormtrooper blaster after fixing my old camera:
