Might be a female, easy explanation.

Yep. It looks like a female body. Could mean they are spreading R&D costs over this release and a coming Reva.

Money saved and that eventual release. Not really feeling the looks. Maybe if there was a grand inquisitor.

If it’s a clone body they too are extremely skinny.

So they mustn't be getting many pre-orders for this......hence a video.

This figure would probably sell better at $150-175. Its just too expensive for what it is.

To be honest, even at $150, I have no interest in it.

I've been looking it over and am not sure what they were trying to do with this Trooper type. Shame, as I collect Trooper figures.

Looks nice, just no interest.

I imagine most people displaying this will be the same ones who proudly display an army of First Order troopers.

I mean I wouldn't say "proudly".....but I've got 'em.

Would of preferred the Beehive helmet from J:FO

Doesn't look terrible but that was the preferred design.

Love those beehive helmets.

I have some too, packed away in storage. I gave TFA all benefit of the doubt. I really did want to like Disney Star Wars, but unfortunately we all were bamboozled by Kennedy and the other nimrods. It's probably time to give up hope that values will increase and just sell all my TFA figures at whatever crazy loss I have to take just to rid myself of them.

I buy figures from movies I dislike often. I view the figures as separate from the story. I bought the sequel troopers despite hating the films so I could have more variation in my trooper display. having said that, the sequel troopers are my least favourite designs out of all of em. Prequel Trilogy, Clone Wars, Rogue One, Solo and the Original Trilogy all have better designs. The Sith Stormtrooper (Final Order) is pretty cool though.

I've sold off all my non Stormtrooper First Order troopers. I had bought some at a discount but it was still usually at a loss.

If you don't want them then you should definitely just bite the bullet and sell them off as soon as possible. You don't want the rubber joints and pleather suits to deteriorate in storage. At least you'll get something back for them even if it's a loss.

I have FO troopers and like them. But not this one. Nothing cool on screen, no cool design. So why bother with this?

Give me Grand Inquisitor and I'll buy two instantly.

Yeah these definitely make more sense with an Inquisitor.

They look better with Stormtroopers behind them but they didn't do enough to justify having a display of that scale, nor do I necessarily want to allocate Stormtroopers to that.

If they had kept the Airborne Clone appearance from JFO then I could see giving them their own display.

As it stands I don't necessarily have a place for them without an Inquisitor to flank. Maybe I can put them with Shadow Troopers if they don't make any Inquisitors.

The reason to buy some can be near.
