I had a lot of high hopes for Captain Phasma. A female storm trooper captain in silver armor with an intimidating stature and a cape is a recipe for awesome. But in actuality, I felt that she was very underused. I don't know exactly what I expected from her, but a glorified drill sergeant that plummets down an abyss of a crumbling Starkilller base seems very lacklustre. I thought I had picked up all the Phasma action figures until I saw this 12" figure at FiveBelow and realized I had skipped it. I vaguely remember seeing a 12" Phasma for Force Awakens at TRU and thinking it looked like a generic silver Stormtrooper. I passed on it at the time. The funny thing is, I believe this Last Jedi version is a straight-up re-release, but for some reason it is now infinitely more appealing (especially for five bucks!) Spoiler: In fact-checking this post, I learned that there are deleted scenes on the Last Jedi DVD that imply Phasma is not as dead as we might think (although I highly doubt she will have a role in Skywalker). Let's check her out below!
Star Wars 12" figures are always a bit lacking with only five Points of Articulation.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here is Phasma with the 12" Last Jedi Rey.
Here are all my Phasma's together. From Left to Right: Black Series 6", Black Series 3.75", 12" Epic, Galactic Heroes, Limited Articulation Figure, Elite Series.
Cheers!
Wanted to buy her when I saw at 5 Below... really pretty
ReplyDeleteShe's really great and totally worth 5 bucks!
