Loaded with 29 points of articulation, Hasbro has been enhancing 3.75” figures with swivel thighs which add even more movement to already well-articulated action figures. While it contains many pieces of bulky armor, the figure can be posed in a wide array of poses thanks to the wonderful articulation system it boasts. The sculpt is as utilitarian as it is fluid. Anyway, the Scarif Stormtrooper is truly a work of art. We’ll pay full retail for these, no bones about it. If they’re able to make incredible classically-scaled action figures in the original 3.75” scale look this great, then they should be focusing on it. And it proves to us how much time and energy Hasbro is wasting focusing on things that collectors just don’t want. The Scarif Stormtrooper has everything fans of super-articulated 3.75” collecting adore: fabulous articulation, brilliant paint ops and a sculpt that is better than you might believe is possible, but this trio of goodness just works even harder here. Maybe it's easy to get excited over troopers more than human characters, but this one just feels worlds above what Hasbro has released in the recent past.
It has exceeded our expectations greatly and Hasbro has reaffirmed they really know how to do troopers brilliantly. In short, collectors are going to fall head over heels for the Scarif Stormtrooper Squad Leader (who we’ll just call the Scarif Stormtrooper from here on out). It’s really a necessary and merciful request and hopefully they’ll listen to fans.
But we’re hopeful that Hasbro will give us a super-articulated version at some point. If you’re desperate for one, you can defer to 2016’s RO Moroff/ Scarif Stormtrooper Squad Leader Two-Pack set and use that figure if you wish in the meantime. Right now, 3.75” super-articulated collectors (isn’t it a shame this has to be qualified now?) don’t have a “squad leader” to oversee their own armies, but hopefully Hasbro will get smart and release a running change of the Scarif Stormtrooper Squad Leader character whenever they decide to repack this figure instead. Hasbro should have made the Scarif Stormtrooper Squad Leader (28) 6” figure the Walmart exclusive and released the exclusive 6" Scarif Stormtrooper as the basic version so collectors could more easily build their armies.
Despite being named incorrectly, it's actually better that we got the regular trooper (for now). This is just a plain old Scarif Stormtrooper, not the more colorful Scarif Stormtrooper Squad Leader that was released as a basic figure in The Black Series 6” line along with Director Krennic (27) and C-3PO (Resistance Base) (29).
This has occurred many times in the past. OK, so let’s get over the fact that Hasbro named this action figure with the wrong designation.
