Stormtrooper armour is kind of rubbish, innit? You’re supposed to be the tip of the Imperial spear, a galactic strike force that brings down entire solar systems through your mere presence, and instead you’re reduced to a joke. After Return of the Jedi, the Stormtroopers were a laughing stock.
Oh, but times have changed. Now they’re sleeker, fanatical and look like they were designed by the vengeful ghost of Steve Jobs and his unaccredited department that he stole glory from. Stormtroopers look the business, yo. But Captain Phasma? She’s not only the field commander of a new generation of troopers: She’s the boss who’s taking names and kicking ass.
And I’m saying this with all manner of confidence, even though the film isn’t even out yet. I’ll eat a Stormtrooper helmet if I’m wrong next month.
As the release date of Star Wars: The Force Awakens nears, the anticipation for this long awaited installment of the saga grows stronger every day! Sideshow Collectibles and Hot Toys are very excited to officially introduce the sixth scale collectible figure of commander Captain Phasma – clad in distinctive metallic armor, following the reveal of the First Order legions of troopers.
What’s in the box?

- Authentic and detailed likeness of Captain Phasma in Star Wars: The Force Awakens
- Approximately 33 cm tall
- Specially applied multiple layers of metallic paint on armour with weathering effects

- One (1) pair of fists
- One (1) pair of relaxed palms
- One (1) pair of palms for aiming weapon
- Two (2) pairs of palms for holding weapon in different styles

So shiny, so chrome and a not so mediocre price at $249.99 for the cape-wearing Stormtrooper when she goes on sale next year May.

“So shiny, so chrome and a not so mediocre price at $249.99 for the cape-wearing Stormtrooper….”
That line makes me both VERY happy. And VERY sad.
I used to collect the original Star Wars Ep IV – VI figures as a kid, still have 20-30 in a box somewhere, and I’d *love* to collect this new series of figurines too.
But not when they’ll cost >R5k each…….. 🙁

Witcher 3, Fallout 4, Star Wars ep VII. This year really is all about the big ones.

Aside from what this figurine looks like (didn’t read the article itself) I’ve kept myself very far away from Star Wars stuff. Just like Fallout 4. That hype is dangerous.

I wonder if they’ll ever sell a fat man version of that suit?

A small part me of thinks I should start measuring success against the ownership of these things. Convert my study into a trophy room, of sorts.
They are extremely desirable, but 2 problems:
1. So I get them. Then what? Not sure I am the collector type, no matter how much I want them
2. I could feed the local orphanage for a month on what some of these things cost. That also worries me, the actual cost in Rand terms for these dollar bound items.
