Seriously. #RogueOne is Really Good. And you know it's good when I am compelled to purchase a #K2SO #actionfigure immediately the next day.
It is the sort of Star Wars story I would have envisioned in a kid's imagination with an unlimited supply of #StarWars toys on a Saturday afternoon. That's high praise.

I got done with my look at the new Target Exclusive AT-ACT Driver, and realized that I had never looked at the Scarif Trooper. What an oversight on my part. I had looked at the initial release of the Squad Leader that saw general release, but the troop builder figure only saw release at Walmart. That is a pretty strange way to go about selling you toys, but whatever. I don't make the rules.
Being that finding the exclusives for Walmart are super hard to do, I had ordered them online, since I knew it would be way better to just go that route and not have to travel around to see if I could find any (which I never did).
So my box showed up with 3 troopers (best deal to get free shipping). They are very similar to the Squad leader, but with a different belt that does not have the long blue skirt, but instead has a shorter off-white skirt.
I really like these troopers overall. Their paint apps are random, so they don't all seem to have the same dirt and scuff marks in the same place. Troop building with these guys is fun.
As of the time of this photo shoot, I had 5 Scarif Troopers, 4 Death Troopers, a Hovertank Driver, and a Stormtrooper. That is a goodly number of troopers, but more than that, it is an interesting looking bunch. If for no other reason, Rogue One expanded the universe of the Troopers, and we have more to look at than just a bunch of shiny white dudes, and an occasional Speeder Bike driver (who I have, but somehow didn't make it to the shoot. That is definitely my bad on that one).
Creo que este será el boceto final. El cambio más importante es añadir las sombras proyectadas por el fogonazo hacia el techo. Eso me libera de ennegrecer la esquina inferior izquierda. Ahora volveré a dibujar a lápiz en un papel que permita entintar bien y si no me lo cargo de nuevo en el entintado, daré color usando acuarelas.
This profile was one that I looked at a lot while building this - my old version had the head far too high, so I fixed that here.
Last weekend, Force Friday did not grant me a lot in the 6 inch line of Star Wars. I am not going after any of the 3.75 inch figures, but I may get some of the vehicles. I cannot do it on principle. They give us 5 points of articulation, I am not biting on that garbage. The figures look great, but I want something more than figures that just stand on my shelf.
Though I only found two figures (one at Target and one at Walmart) after going to 3 Targets and the Walmart after work). I was a little bummed I didn't find Jyn, later that weekend I felt vindicated since I saw there was going to be a special Target 3-pack with the same Jyn inside, so I don't want to buy the same figure twice. This is probably why her figure is sitting at $15 on Amazon, while the rest of the figures are continuing to climb. I am certainly looking forward to getting my hands on the Death Trooper and Shoretrooper, but the two I found are certainly getting me started on the fun to come as we approach Rogue One.
I am excited I found K-2SO and Captain Cassian Andor in the same weekend. Andor reprogrammed K-2SO from his ways as a killer, and now these two look like they are going to be the Han and Chewbacca of Rogue One. This is definitely going to be a pair to watch out for, moving forward.
K-2SO
"The Captain says you are a friend. I will not kill you." About all we have about this guy so far, and already the people are excited about seeing more of this Imperial turned Rebel as we move at a slower and slower speed toward Rogue One.
This guy is everything I expected and more. From watching the first trailer for Rogue One, it was sure that this was going to be one imposing figure. K-2 stands over 7 feet tall, so in the Black Series, that means standing over 7 inches tall.
The proportions are exaggerated to create this droid. The main torso and head are about the size of a standard human. Then they went and lengthened the legs by half again. The designers added equal length to the thigh and calf to allow for what I can only assume is faster running speed. When they redesigned the arms, the length was all added to the forearms with a similar look as a chimp.
The details on K-2 are outstanding. The torso is mostly a shell, but there are lots of added details on the chest and back.
Under his torso, on his upper waist, there is even more detail.
One area I wondered about was in his joints. At the elbows, knees, and ankles, his joints are hollow like giant washers. I was wondering how Hasbro was going to pull that one off. Well, they did it very well. The joint section attached to the lower arm is actually clear plastic. Part of it is painted to match the rest of the joint, and then they added a swivel above the elbow to allow the arm side to side motion
With the knee, it is a joint system of top and bottom put together similar tot he elbow, but both the top and bottom of the joint have a swivel, since the knee moves more dynamically than the elbow.
Way down at the ankle there is a third set of joints. Once again we see the clear plastic inset. This time there is and added piece of articulation that allows the foot to bend in and out, as we have been seeing over most of the Hasbro figures as of late.
Way up top, K-2 has a metal skull set atop a toothpick of a neck. I imagine this would have been a prime place for the Rebels to attack the Enforcer Droids.
The K-2 figure has two ball joints, one on each end of the head. That gives him so much motion.
To finish off the articulation, K-2 has great movement in the shoulders with a very wide range of motion. He also has a funny double joint going on in the hips I am still trying to figure out.
Captain Cassian Andor (Eadu)
The creator of K-2SO, and the guy sent to watch over Jyn Erso, since she is a bit of a live wire.
I am glad to see that the rest of the Internet is wonder what "Eadu" is at the end of his name. In The Force Awakens" we got Finn (JAKKU) where we know Finn to have landed a few times. It seems Eadu is probably a name of a place as well, but somewhere with a fairly cold climate. The outfit is similar to the clothes the Rebels wore on Hoth. In the trailer it looked like there were lots of places smushed together. We saw Jyn in her Jedha outfit, and I am thinking Jedha and Eadu are different places, but the desert can be cold too, so Eadu could be a city on the moon of Jedha. We will see I guess.
The outfit that Andor is wearing is as we would expect. The details and paint are right on. The jacket has lots of wrinkles and folds, and helps break up the solid blue color. The bottom of the jacket, below the waist, is rubber. It is broken on both sides to allow the wearer to access pockets or holsters.
Andor comes with three accessories. He has a large blaster (well detailed, but solid grey plastic), a smaller handgun (same grey plastic, but silver paint apps) which fits into his holster, and his hat. The hat has a lot of color painted on all over. It sits well on his head. The motion of the head is a bit restricted with the hat on, but I am sure anyone who is wearing a giant jacket and then puts on a big hat with a scarf attached to it, will also have some trouble moving their heads.
The articulation is pretty good. We expect a lot from Hasbro now, so when it is not perfect, we really take note. He has all of the standard, neck, shoulder, elbows, wrist, hp, knee, and ankle. One that is really missing is a swivel somewhere on the leg. Generally we see a swivel joint either on the thigh or at the top of the boots. This really hinders our ability to pose the figure. Most of the time, if the figure is a bit top heavy, we can swivel that leg back a bit to steady the figure. Not this time around, and that is a bummer.
Overall, I am loving the starting point for the Rogue One figures. I love that they were released early, so we can all sit around and photograph and stare at these characters we don't yet know. I am looking forward to adding to this collection of figures as we move closer to movie day, December 16, 2016.
