mine shipped as well. no inhand review was fond of the base. I dare say it's worse in person. Thankfully myc will come to the rescue.

also make sure to review the assembly instructions online. this one is like a jigsaw puzzle.

Love mine too. Arrived last week but didn’t have a chance to unbox/assemble it until last night. Outside of wishing the light-up feature wasn’t powered exclusively by batteries and the base being a bit more glossy than I’d like I have zero complaints. Overall I’d say it’s the best Imperial Trooper PF I’ve seen.

I will say this. The Death Trooper PF is without question the most challenging PF I’ve had to assemble to date. This thing definitely could’ve benefited from an instruction print out like P1 includes in their statues. This thing was like a puzzle.

Yeah, this one is really good. Makes me wish I was a SW collector. I would like to know more about these Death Troopers. I wonder if they’re human?

As far as we’ve seen all the Imperial Troops have indeed been human. I suppose there could be some alien races under those helmets but that doesn’t seem to fit in with the Empire’s format IMO.

Now if you’re implying they might be droids or maybe some sort of cybernetic organism, that’d be interesting. All that being said I’d put my money on straight up humans. These Death Troopers were the Imperial Navy equivalent of a Seal Team.

From all canon i know Death Troopers are all human... The Empire is not racist in the terms we think of it. During the Clone wars most of the separatist worlds were from the outer rim. And most of the separatist were humanoid and non human. But not all. As with everything it was a mix. Many in the outer rim remained loyal to the republic and not all humans did. But after the Empire formed the Emperor and many people made no distinction. They punished those worlds and even the people who led rebellions in favor of the republic from those worlds. Thus "aliens" in the Imperial Navy at any sort of high rank were rare. In fact even humans from what they termed wild space were discriminated against. Thus the eyebrows raised at Thrawn's meteoric rise and favor with the Emperor. So this little Star Wars history lesson was to say the Death Troopers from what i understand were all human (any body can jump in and set me straight) and we need a Grand Admiral Thrawn PF sooner rather than later.

Looks like I’m becoming a SW nerd too now. That’s some interesting stuff. The reason I was wondering about the Death Troopers was because of their language/dialect. The speech they used sounded like a mixture of alien and/or machine. Of course not all humans have to speak English, but almost all humans in SW do. That’s what was throwing me off.

It's a scrambler they use so that others don't know what they are saying to each other.

It really is a great piece that isn't getting much exposure. I had to skip it because I had the Rey, BB-8 and Jyn on order but hopefully can pick it up down the road. Would love to see more pics and vids!
