Flamethrower Clone Trooper

Accessories
Flamethrower Clone Trooper is packaged with a blaster rifle, flamethrower, two flame attachments, back pack, and removable helmet and shoulder pads.

Look and Feel
During the Episode Landing at Point rain, the clone troopers attack the Geonosians with flamethrowers. When I saw this seen I knew I had to have a flame throwing clone and possibly an army of them as they looked so cool. The figure does a great job of capturing the look, but I was very disappointed in the execution of the hands on this figure. The hands do not hold guns well. The figures are very rubbery and do not hold their shape. This had me every frustrated when trying to pose my figure for photos. I also thought that the shoulder pads did stay in their holes better than the Snow Rex figure, but as I tried to get the guns in hands I knocked one out a couple of time. I didn't have any problems with the figures helmet or back pack, however. I was very impressed with the flame attachments as they are heavy and hang down a bit out of the gun much like I would expect a flamethrower to look.

Articulation
Flamethrower Clone Trooper has ball-hinged joints in the neck, shoulders, elbows, torso, and knees. He features swivel joints in the wrists and hips. Yet again this year we get a clone without ankle articulation which, in this figure, would greatly help for posing because of the weight of the guns and flame attachments.

Overall Reaction
I was happy to get this figure and he does have a great look, but I was really let down by the articulation of this figure. In the wave previous to this we got the Camo ARF Trooper that has more articulation then you can imagine. In this figure we get less articulation and terrible hands. I do like the figure a lot, but not enough to troop build this character, but it is great to have a representation of another variation of clone in the collection.
