Collect all 25! Almost a year has passed since the release of “Solo: A Star Wars Story” and I finally managed to gather all the remaining missing figures. Becket was the last and Quay Tolsite was the hardest to get. I was lucky with L3, Val, and Rio. It was also tough and sheer luck to find the trooper pack with the Patrol and Mud Troopers and the Millennium Falcon Han was a purchase at one trusty merchant in the Far East without whom I wouldn’t have been able to get almost one fifth of these figures for a reasonable price. Talking about reasonable prices: no I didn’t pay a reasonable price for Quay Tolsite. But was it worth the trouble? I think so. I figure this set of figures will be one of the rarest collections of modern figures for a recent Star Wars movie—and unfortunately also one that not many are, were, or will be interested in much. Did I mention that I love the Solo movie? Yes I think it’s too unfortunate that it got treated so badly by the audience and wasn’t very well received. One of the reasons why they toyline was so underrepresented. To me it certainly was the best Star Wars movie in recent times. Hopefully we will get a Solo 2 movie one day as I would really like to see how Qi’ra gets along with Maul #starwars #actionfigures #soloastarwarsstory #hansolomovie #hansolo #landocalrissian #qira #chewbacca #enfysnest #quaytolsite #tobiasbeckett #val #weazel #kesselguard #l337 #rangetrooper #mudtrooper #mimbantrooper #patroltrooper #stormtrooper #riodurant #moloch #rebolt #375inch #5poa #starwarsactionfigures #kesselrun https://www.instagram.com/p/BwxatW7AfJN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3cvzn5z8lh40

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
