I am impressed with this figure. To be honest, this was sort of a purchase just to keep up with collecting the Black Series figures. I did not really expect much. To me, this was nothing more than a generic figure to fill up my Black Series collection. I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived. This figure is beautiful. It looks nearly identical to how the First Order Snow Trooper look in the film. This matches all my First Order troopers very well, this has sleek looking armor just like the others. I must mention that I love this new design. Although it is very close to the original Snow Trooper design, the helmet is basically completely different. This has a completely solid helmet, where as the original Snow Trooper had some sort of flexible, plastic-like fabric making up most of the helmet/mask.This version has a helmet design closely related to the First Order Flame Trooper. Although there is not much paint on this figure, it is excellent. Nearly every detail on this figure is painted perfectly, except for the belt (nit-pick). Even his rifle has great details on it. I believe that this gun is the exact same mold as Captain Phasma's weapon, so it is not quite unique If you are one to worry about articulation, no worries, this figure has great articulation, especially for a bulky figure. The only minor limitations is the lack of double hinged elbows and knees, in case you were wondering. Most of the time I have not recommended Black Series figure to children, but this is an exception in my opinion. My only complaint is that this figure is shorter than the standard First Order Storm Trooper. That does not makes sense, they should be the same height. If anything, the Snow Trooper should be taller due to his bulkier set of armor and equipment. This should be fine for children to play with, this seems like a rather durable figure. Just keep an eye out for loosing the small accessories. Overall, I have no complaints. This figure is truly worth the money. I recommend this figure to be used as a toy and collecting reasons. I hope I have helped you out. Thank you for reading my review!
