what, no Bumbleblah?

If it looks as bad as this:

then I'll be rendered speechless by the price tag. Did they design it on a napkin at lunch time? With a whopping SIX POINTS OF ARTICULATION it truly is a waste of money.

Don't worry fellas, you guys aren't the target demographic anyway. It's for people with broader tastes, than just transforming action figures.

Don't knock it! It's more than I have when I first wake up in the morning.

Someone quite as stylish and and unique as yourself, no doubt.

You're suggesting that only shallow hipsters would buy such a toy? Pretty narrow view point pal.

I don't mind not articulated Transformers, because those usually at least look damn good and have a wide range of articulation.
Looking at the Storm Trooper though and its price tag however, tells me that this will be an immensely over priced piece of crap.
That Storm Trooper has less articulation and detail than a standard Star Wars action figure, to top it off the proportions are horrible, they're neither realistic nor SD they just look bad.
What makes this even worse is that it's 2 feet high. Seriously, you try to sell such a huge expensive product and you can't even outclass a standard retail toy?

for that kind of money you can buy two Amazon Dual Model kit Optimus Primes, or an army of Revoltech Optimus Primes. All of which look way better than this piece of trash.

I can see why a lot of fans might really dislike/hate these. But if you grew up playing with Shogun Warriors prior to playing with/collecting Transformers (like me), I can see that there's a market for them. I actually regret not buying that stormtrooper warrior and may get this and their pending Boba Fett version too.

This. A thousand times this. I don't mind the Action Masters or the non-transforming line from the movies because those looked good and had articulation. That stormtrooper looks bad and has... what, elbow joints?
