I’m curious, and would love to hear feedback from my fellow Star Wars: The Black Series figure collectors. A little while ago now, I posted a video on my Youtube channel, (linked below), unboxing and comparing the scale of the S.H. Figuarts ANH R2-D2, to a couple of my Black Series figures. As I was not entirely satisfied with the size of the Black Series’ own R2-D2 offering, as compared to the other 6” figures. What I wound up satisfying for myself, was that the Figuarts R2 was indeed the correct size, fitting perfectly into the Black Series figure scale, which conformed to my research of the size of the original, on-set R2-D2 prop, as compared to the actors. Whether or not you decide to watch my video going over all of this, I’m curious to hear which of the two, Black Series or Figuarts, you personally feel is the one for you, and best fits into your collection. I should also point out that, to date, due by and large to a severe lack of monthly funds with which to do so, I have yet to go beyond the Figuarts R2, in collecting anymore of their figure offerings. Which is also down to my own personal opinion that the likenesses on them leave something to be desired. But, I have been giving a lot of thought to picking up the ANH Luke and Han, at some point, as over time, they’ve begun to grow on me. Here’s the video: And a screen shot:

If you are looking for another cool variant Stormtrooper figure to add to your collection then you might want to check out this new 6" Star Wars: The Black Series Imperial Patrol Trooper figure from Hasbro which is based on another character from Solo: A Star Wars Story. The figure features the same kind of window-box packaging we see with all the Black Series figures with the black and red box and the character bio on the back. This is figure number 72 in the line. The figure comes with a blaster pistol that looks very similar to the ones used by the Biker Scouts from Return of the Jedi. The figure also comes with what looks to be some kind of mini-night stick. These guys I guess are supposed to be the police officers of the Imperial government. Both the blaster and the stick will fit on the figures utility belt and can be held in either hands. The figure sports an armor that like the blaster shares traits of the Biker Scout. In fact these guys are listed as using Speeder Bikes for their patrols. The helmet looks more like a regular Stormtrooper than a Biker Scout though. The paint applications are basic with white and black plastic. I do have a little black mark on the white portion of the armor at the right hand. Articulation is pretty standard for a Black Series figure featuring single-hinged swivel elbows and double-hinged knees. There is a mid-section joint for swivel but don't expect much in the way of an ab-crunch. The scale is good, standing about the same height as the Black Series Biker Scout figure. It fits in nicely with the other Solo: A Star Wars Story figures. The figure is a good representation of the Patrol Trooper which I think maybe had 5 seconds of screen time in the movie but it's still a cool looking character, basically being a mash-up of the Stormtrooper and Biker Scout. If you like variant Stormtrooper figures then this is one you will want to get, assuming you can find it on shelves. You can pre-order this figure now our sponsor Megalopolis.Toys.
