@@davidedge2828 Yeah unfortunately the Rose Tico figures are long gone at this time. Those were on clearance about a year or so after The Last Jedi and no one would buy her figures. I know Holdo is still available in a few places going for $10-$15 US dollars 💵. I was expressing my memories of her fan hated figure. I did eventually get one after her price went up a bit , I think $10 US dollars 💵. I believe many were purchased by customizers that made more desirable characters from her figure. I just got done pre-ordering some Ashoka figures I want, but I'm holding off on Morgan I figure she'll go on sale/clearance in a while. Of course I was planning on doing the same for Andors Mon Mothma but I ordered her at full price from Entertainment Earth a week+ ago, but whatever.

These should be in every wave, easily available at all times. It's sad they're not.

The old Stormtrooper body suffers from having bowed legs. The sculpt is also rather skeletal. HOWEVER I absolutely agree and love both the Shadow Squadron Stormtrooper and Sandtrooper. The helmet sculpt is perfection. The Shadow being the only time they ever reused the Sandtrooper helmet. The weathering is also peak on that Sandtrooper. One of our favorites in the line for sure! -Justin

I freaking LOVE the 2020 Stormtrooper. Blows the original right out of the water on pretty much every front. My only "complaint" is that I wish they didn't all come with just the standard blaster. Like if 1/3 of them or so had come with the rifle that the original had, that would've been cool. But that doesn't take away from the figure itself which is, as this video pointed out, pretty damn awesome. Great video, boyos!

Agree it’s the best, and it’s really not close. I can’t say how many times that I’ll be messing around on my shelves, rearranging figures or fixing a shelf dive or whatever, and my eyes pass over this figure and I literally can’t look away for a minute. The proportions look so good that I have to look at it really close and admire how it looks like there is a little person in there. I can’t say that about ANY other figure in my collection of over 340 black series figures. I’ll go further and say that Wave 26 that this figure was a part of is the single greatest black series wave released so far. Youve got this figure and the ESB Vader, both of which you can make an argument are the best black series figure ever.(Vader is my TBS favorite figure personally). Lots of collectors have these two in their top fives at a minimum. Then you’ve got the kamino clone which has a sweet paint job and a decent body as well. Then you’ve got beskar mando which has flaws but is a great looking figure. Then you have two great looking ROTJ figures in Ackbar and Teebo that each have great sculpting and paint apps. This wave hits. Hard.

Hello Justin and Nate thanks for another great Banger episode. 2020 Imperial Stormtrooper figure is an awesome black series figure. I myself only have 3 of these figures at this point. And by that I mean I have 3 plain, regular 2020 Stormtrooper figures. I've got 2 Flame, 2 Mortar, the 2 Scar Squad Troopers, and 1 Rouge One Stormtrooper figure. I've got quite a few original Stormtroopers in my collection and I'm not dumping any of them at this point. I've got 3 Battle Damaged Troopers, I noticed you guys didn't mention the second Stormtrooper from Mando's Battle Damaged Stormtrooper, a figure I wasn't able to get for myself. Gaming Greats Shadow Squadron Stormtroopers are very awesome looking in my opinion. I've got 2 of the Lava Planets Red Stormtroopers that came in one of the four packs. And I'm probably forgetting a few others made on the original Stormtrooper body. I myself can place my older Stormtroopers with my newest Trooper figures and I'm ok with the way it looks. Man I can ramble on. I myself would love to see a new modern Scout Trooper figure but I wouldn't get rid of all my old Scouts. In realistic warfare not every soldier has the newest uniform and newest weapons available, I like variety and a bit of realism in my troops. And yes the original troopers might not look like real persons in the armor, but they look good enough for me. And I do appreciate you gentlemens opinions and other's thoughts on the new and original Trooper figures. Thanks again guys for this Banger figure episode and I agree with you 👍, the 2020 Stormtrooper is an amazing looking figure and the best available at this time. Take care and enjoy, your friend Tom.

I loved this figure, but when I received mine with a warped head, I was so disappointed. In general, this is a good figure, but, I know I really wasn't the only one who had a bad experience with that, and it's a shame, cos it really soured the experience. The QC on Black Series went so bad around this time, but I understand it's getting better. The new Malgus is really getting me back into the BS, after I started buying SH Figuarts instead. That Malgus is perfect. And now I think BS (other than clones, god they. are abominations) is coming back into being an amazing line.
