The Legacy Collection
Comic 2-Packs
Stormtrooper and Blackhole Hologram

Accessories
Stormtrooper comes with a blaster.
Blackhole Hologram comes with an interrogation droid.
Both figures are packed with Star Wars: The Early Adventures #1.

Look and Feel
Stormtrooper - This Stormie is your Legacy Collection version with a new paint app and that very cool head sculpt. I now almost nothing about this comic but from my quick research this "Blackhole" guy is supposedly the head of intelligence. He has some troopers sent to track down the rebels. From what I can see in the comic, the paint apps just don't match. The Stormies are supposed to be completely black with dark bluish purple highlights. For some reason my troopers helmet doesn't stay on well and just rattles around on his head.

Blackhole Hologram and interrogation Droid - Hasbro gave Blackhole a lot more detail than he had in the comic. The figure is pretty much a figurine and is nothing more than a statue. The interrogation droid is pretty much the same. I do like the smoke base for it, but it annoys me that it leans forward and doesn't stand straight up and down.

Articulation
The Stormtrooper sports ball hinged joints in the head, shoulders, torso, elbows, knees, and ankles. He also has swivel joints in the hips and wrist.

Blackhole Hologram and interrogation Droid have no articulation.

Overall Reaction
I bought this set when I was trying to get all the comic packs. Now that I have broken my completist mentality, I should have saved my money on this set. $13.99 is just too much for a repaint and two statues. My advice to people thinking of tracking this set down is to forget about it!
