![]() ![]() It seems like we’re going to have quite a collection of these carbonized figures before all is said and done!Ĭollector Notes Stormtrooper (Carbonized) We also noticed upon careful inspection that the silver paint operations have splotchiness and imperfections. The figure admittedly comes in beautiful packaging. Both Hasbro Pulse and Entertainment Earth shipped their units around the same time. ![]() Retailing for $24.99, the Stormtrooper (Carbonized) is a Fan Channel exclusive. Any Stormtrooper is a best-seller, after all. In 2014, the Stormtrooper (#09) figure was one of the best-selling figures of the year. We’re curious to see if the Stormtrooper (Carbonized) will become an army builder like its original version. You will notice that some of the fingers appear stretched-out now. The figure can hold both guns excellently, and the E-11 blaster can be placed in his functioning holster when not in use. Lightly accessorized, the Stormtrooper (Carbonized) figure comes with an E-11 blaster, and more massive blaster rifle – the same one IG-88 used in The Empire Strikes Back. You can get a vast range of motion from many joints, and it can attain almost any pose you want without any difficulty. The Stormtrooper (Carbonized) figure comes with 30 points of articulation. With all that said, you should be familiar with the details of the Stormtrooper (Carbonized) action figure. Is the figure a poor representation of the what’s shown on the packaging, or is it vice versa? But we cannot see our reflections in the figure’s armor. We can see our reflections in the packaging. But if the box is so dang shiny and silvery, we think that perhaps the Stormtrooper is meant to follow in the same footsteps. Maybe the Stormtrooper should have the same paint job as Captain Phasma if that’s the definition of a carbonized Stormtrooper. Perhaps the point of carbonization is NOT to reflect a vac-metallized finish. With a faux silver finish, the Stormtrooper (Carbonized) figure looks beautiful in bright lights, but you’ll still wish the figure came vac-metalized. While an all-new Stormtrooper is in the works, it appears that Hasbro wants to make the most out of it before putting it to bed forever. We have very few issues with it, and we know it started as a Sandtrooper. We’re fond of this action figure’s tooling. And it utilizes the same old Stormtrooper tooling that many collectors find old and tired and are discontent with Hasbro’s consistent reuse. It’s not a terrible looking figure, but it’s not overly exciting. While we love many of the carbonized figures in the 6” line, we’re having trouble getting excited about the Stormtrooper (Carbonized) figure. Perhaps we’re overthinking and overreaching here. And if all of the other carbonized figures released thus far in The Black Series 6” line come with a corresponding sequence number, then why doesn’t the Stormtrooper come with the number 48 on the side of the box? What you might find especially painful is that the Stormtrooper (Carbonized) figure comes in packaging that appears more vac-metalized than the “below average” paint job they gave the figure (which is duller by comparison). Inside is a silvery Stormtrooper that looks to utilize the same paint operations as Captain Phasma (06). But wouldn’t a carbonized Snowtrooper make more sense or IG-88 for that matter? The Stormtrooper (Carbonized) figure comes embellished with a 40th Anniversary call-out on the front of the box. Yes, these characters are in the film and play an essential role corralling the Rebel heroes together for Darth Vader. While the Stormtrooper was an inevitable candidate for this “carbonized” treatment, we don’t understand why it’s part of the 40th Anniversary celebration of Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. Such a case and point example would be the Fan Channel exclusive The Black Series Stormtrooper (Carbonized) figure. ![]() And when we pause, we wonder what was going on in their minds as to why they do the things they do. There are some figures in the Hasbro Star Wars line that give us pause. ![]()
