I was impressed too:
- the helmet is cut through and its the black head you see deep
in the helmet
- which also makes the back of the neck look so much better
(black being part of the pressurised suit, as opposed to the
yellow peeking through on the stormies - put black heads on
your stormies and see the difference!)
- the torsos are pretty fine too.
- and faithfully carried from the movies, the clonies are more
angular and menacing. While the stormies are not at all bad,
it just always seemed that Lucas had had two many plush frog
toys on his desk when he signed off on the design for the
stormies helmets. Every time I see a group of stormies
knees bent running about advancing, I am reminded of an
itinerant band of oversized, black and white froggies...
