The Mimban Sormtrooper (or #bumtrooper) is probably one of the most sought after action figures of recent waves, which is a bit surprising as his design isn’t that terribly innovative: it’s a regular Stormtrooper with an added armor plate on the forehead and a cape over his shoulder. On top he is very muddy and comes with a very long rifle. The figure is a bit odd as the elbows are permanently bent in their action position, the wrists however are swivel joints, which makes it a 7 POA figure. The swivel wrists actually make it harder to have the figure hold his weapons, which adds to the difficulty of posing the Trooper in a natural way. Making him stand is another challenging task as his bent legs force him to a bent forward, yet still slightly unbalanced position. Due to his unique fixed pose it’s a bit hard to imagine that collectors will build armies with this figure. #starwars #actionfigures #mimbantrooper #bumtrooper #soloastarwarsstory #solomovie
