The old storm trooper helmets always looked a bit off to me. At least the standard troopers but this guys helmet actually looks really nice for an older figure. After watching this might have to pick him up now

Yeah the original stormtrooper helmets were actually a bit inaccurate. The new stormtrooper in the Mandalorian packaging is way more accurate looking. However I would still say that the Sandtrooper has the most accurate representation! Thanks for watching, James. -Justin

Hey Nate, great review. I did see on another review of this figure that the hoses do unplug from the jet pack. I haven’t tried it with mine yet so not sure how firmly they’re attached. Also, did you see the new Gaming Greats Zaalbar from KOTOR?

I’m thinking that’s the case! Or they wanted to be able to call it a “gaming greats” so they changed it to the BF2 in game name but didn’t bother giving us the rocket. Either way I agree and I’m still happy to have it! Thanks as always for watching! -Nate

Same exact figure but different ranking! This is essentially the grunt jumptrooper from Rebels but since it's also in Battlefront II, it was an excuse to make it a Gaming Greats. Thanks for watching, J! -Justin
Was on the fence forever on this one. This review, and a $19.99 sale changed that.

So apparently this figure is now sold out. Based on your extensive Black Series collecting experience, how likely do you guys think it is that Gamestop will restock this figure? I would still like to get one, but I do not think this figure is worth paying scalper prices on Amazon or eBay.

Very true, I think it was just an excuse to make it a Gaming Greats since they added that design from the Rebels series where they just have the regular E-11 blasters into Battlefront II but made it the rocket trooper. Thanks for checking out the review, MKF! -Justin

I picked him up and he's not bad at all, just compared to all the figures we are getting right now like Wrecker, The clone wars exclusives, the comic wave and the upcoming waves with koska and tech, this figure is a little unimaginative, dare I say boring, even.

THEY FLY NOW!... *cough* ... i watched a gameplay video, yepp, this guy absolutely should have a rocket launcher, he has one in the game... i think we have enough Stormtrooper Variations with E-11 blasters and similar, i would take every chance to get troopers with new or different weapons... not giving him the rocket launcher is just... lame. i... don't really need that one, especially not with the old Stormtrooper mold and since i just started collecting i might just stick to the new stuff. ...my 2 cents

He certainly should have came with the rocket launcher since they wanna market it as a Battlefront II Gaming Greats. To be fair though, the design is from Star Wars Rebels where they just have the regular E-11 blasters. Thanks for checking out the review, ZeroB4NG! -Justin
