Stormtrooper (L'Empire contre-attaque)

The articulation in the arms and legs lets me pose him holding a blaster perfectly, which is great for display. At this size, he fits well with the rest of my collection without taking up too much space. A solid figure for any Star Wars fan.

The shoulder and knee joints hold their pose perfectly, so I can recreate that iconic blaster stance from the Hoth corridor scene. Took me about an hour to put together, and the white armor panels snap in cleanly with no gaps. It's the kind of desk ornament that makes coworkers do a double take.

I was impressed by how many points of articulation this figure has—you can pose him in all sorts of action stances. The helmet detail is spot-on, and he stands nicely at that 4–5 inch scale. Perfect for a little desk companion.
