Impressive It Was
" I wasn't a fan of the CCBS since it's inception from Hero Factory to Bionicle and then to Star Wars, until now. Seeing that detailed helmet plus the custom front torso (with print) and rounded shoulder pads was enough to change my mind. Talk about near movie accurate.
LEGO addressed the issue of the exposed back framework with back, shoulder and calf pieces. The figure is super pose-able to boot.
Added extra playability with a pistol besides the blaster rifle. The simplistic design allows for reconfiguring for hip carry on either side. The rifle shoots projectiles and comes with an attached spare.
WARNING! Unlike it's predecessor that held the projectile in place, this shooter locks only in the armed position. It can fire easily if one doesn't pay attention.
Rifle build is the other gripe. Compared to the movie, the front vertical grip and buttstock appears backwards. Positions changed.
I'd definitely recommend this kit. Wound up get 3 more.
