Look and Feel
Sith Lord Maleval - This figure looks fantastic! I love the paint apps on the head as it really shows how the character looked in the comic. His armor is very detailed and I really enjoy the mix of soft goods with the molded plastic in the skirt. His robe seems to fit well and I love that there is a wire sewn into the edge.. The one downside to this figure is the shock whip. Instead of getting a cool translucent whip we get black string. Maleval's lightsaber is pretty plain. In the comic it almost looks like a bone or a carved type hilt.
Sergeant Harkas - This is pretty much a TAC Stormtrooper with a different head sculpt and some yellow accent colors to show that he is a Sergeant. He does show up in the comic with colored so I can't fault that decision, but I really don't like the colored stripes. He has a great head sculpt and almost looks like George Lucas.
Jes Gistang (Chick Trooper) - For the first time we get a female trooper. I think it is very cool looking and it is essentially a TAC Stormtrooper with an all new torso and head. This figure is a welcome addition to the collection and I have even talked to some fans that they are troop building this trooper. Yup I am lookin at you Red Leader!
Anson Trask, Hondo Karr, and Vax Potorr are all TAC Stormtroopers with new head sculpts. It is very interesting to get a bald trooper, I like Anson as it is really a different looking character that is rip for a head swap, but I do not like Hondo's head. It really looks like Luke to me.
Articulation
Sith Lord Maleval sports ball hinged head, shoulders, elbows, and knees, and ankles. He also has swivel wrists, waist, forearms, and hips.
All the troopers have ball hinged heads, shoulders, torsos, elbows, ankles and knees. They also have swivel wrists and hips.
Overall Reaction
From top to bottom you get one completely new figure (Maleval), one sort of new figure (Chick Trooper), a repaint with a head swap (Sergant Harkas), and 3 head swaps. This would have really annoyed me if I paid full price for this set, but long ago I got it for $19.99 (50% off). That works out to $3.33 a figure. You really can't go wrong there. In hind sight I should have bought two of them, but I didn't want to pay the shipping. I really love the Maleval figure because as a kid I always found Squid Head to be a very cool figure and this just takes it to another level. I will always take more troopers so I was very pleased with them minus those stupid accent colors on the Sergeant Harkas figure. If you didn't get this pack and can still grab it for cheap, GO GET IT! If it is full price, try to snag the Sith Lord and the Chick Trooper on eBay and forget the rest as Hasbro always has Stormtroopers out there.
