Just received it today. Love it. It's actually better than I expected. No problems with the painting or dirt. So don't be put off. Gentle Giant know their stuff. And this is an excellent price. Don't hang about.

I am a new collector of these figures and this one has to be one of the best i have up to yet.he is totally cool and perfect in every way. to be honest, i would not have minded paying the full price for this and i still would have been thrilled with it and at this price, you cant go wrong. it is absolutely brilliant and this is bound to be a gentle giant classic. i am over the moon with this item and would advise all star wars fans to bag one before stock runs out or they increase the price. Very Nice 10/10

Ok my stormtrooper maquette just arrived along with the Luke one and i have to say that i was expecting the Stormie to be the better of the two but thats not really the case. Dont get me wrong, he is pretty good, i love the pose and the design of the armour suits the animated style really well. He will display really well with the Vader maquette. Another good thing is that these past two maquettes have come in much smaller boxes than prievious one which makes storeage easier. I do however have a few issues with it, i think its because it black and white so everything shows up more but the paint seems a bit sloppy again. there also seems to be a bit of brown dirt on the shoulder and helmet of mine, not much itll come off and i can probably only see it cause its white but its still a bit annoying, you would think they would be more careful.

Other than those minor issues for me i do like the stormie a lot.
