TFU TRU exclusive pack #2
« on: May 12, 2010, 11:56:37 AM »
Very nice figs but a tad pricey at $30.  I will get the other one though.  Here are pics of the packaging I will have the rest of the pics up later  because I have to go do something else... anyway as you can see it has the TRU exclusive sticker on it and the last pic is out of box but in the bubble.

Ok lets start with the jump trooper.  Very nice looking figthough the tube pops out of the little hole now and then when you move the head to the side.  His jet pack fits in very well and the grip on his wepon is very good as well.  for articulation he has...

Ball jointed neck
ball hinged shoulders
ball hinged elbows
swivel wrists
swivel waist
swivel hips
ball higned knees
ball hinged ankels

very nice figure I give it a...9/10 because of the thing with the tube.

Next up is Proxy.  My favorite droid because.... uh I dunno... I just like him.  Anyway he is a good figure besides the fact that he can't stand up very well, so you'll see my hand in the pics.  Proxy was originaly going to be a BAD figure in a TFU wave but Hasbro canceled that one.  He isn't very good with articulation:

Swivel neck
swivel shoulders
ball hinged elbows
swivel wrists
swivel waist
swivel hips
ball hinged knees
ball hinged ankles

so I give him a 7/10 because of the "falling over" and the articulation.

Now we have Galen Marek or "Starkiller" for his nickname.  He has mando garb and a red lightsaber.  Once again he has a bit of trouble standing up on his own; he can do it but if you bump the surface he is standing on, down he gos.  It looks like a jango figure re-paint with a new.... uhhh poncho? on it.  But any way the lightsaber looks alot like vader's.  His helmet is also removable.  For articulation he has:

Ball jointed neck(though the armor on his neck makes it hard for it to move)
ball hinged shoulders
ball hinged elbows
swivel wrists
swivel waist
swivel hips
ball hinged knees
ball hinged ankles

He is a nice figure and would do very well for a mando custom.  I give him 9.5/10 Just for the problem of standing up.

Now the Felucian Worrior.  Very cool figure though once agian the balance is off and he falls if you're not careful.  The bone sword he has is a very nice sculpt and the same with his head.  For his hands... hes has these little things growing out of his arms.....   Articulation is horible on this figure:

Ball hinged shoulders
ball hinged elbows
swivel waist
swivel hips
ball hinged knees

so he gets a 5/10 becaus of articulation and balance.  Not much more to say here.

Finnaly The shadow stormie.  To sum it up in 2 words...HORIBLE FIGURE.  All of his limbs are very loose and his gun got bent in the pacaging.  Also it just doesn't look right!  U can see the pegs in the legs and arms.  It's just a cleer stormie! articulation is good though...

ball jointed neck
ball hinged shoulders
ball hinged elbows
swivel wrists
swivel waist
swivel hips
ball hinged knees
ball hinged ankles

I give him a 5/10 read up there for why... here are the pics.  I say this is a good pack for  small TFU displays.  will get the other one and review that for you guys too.  But for now live well and prosper...I mean may the force be with you.
