Review : The Saga Collection Republic Commando Scorch
Review by E3lipse
Republic Commando Scorch
Background info:
When the battle begins on Geonosis, clone trooper Scorch is ordered to engage the Separatist droid army. Scorch's Delta Number is Six-Two, but he is well known for his humourous mishaps. Although he is a competent soldier and an excellent explosive technician, 'Scorch' earned his nickname after an ordance accident that left him without eyebrows for a short time.
Earned Nickname : Accidentally torched his eyebrows
Skill : Explosives technician
Known as : Delta's Resident Wiseacre
Hologram Figure : Good guys
Accessories :
Removable Ammo Pouch on right thigh
DC-17 Pistol
Removable Backpack
5/5
For a removable ammo pouch, that's a good move by hasbro though somewhat unnecessary.
Sculpt/Accuracy :
4/5
Spot on as in the game , perhaps the weathering should be done better.
Paint job :
Slight smudge at the back of the ammo pouch
Other than that , lines are crisp and excellent, accurate to game
5/5
The smudge is not noticeable when the pouch is attached to the figure
Articulation :
Ball jointed head
Swivel arms
Ball jointed elbow
Swivel Hands
Ball jointed hip/torso
Swivel legs
No knee joint
No ankle joint
No knee and ankle joint, that bothers me, lots of poses are limited due to that.
3.5/5
Price :
RRP $17.90
One thing that we all hate, the darned prices of star wars here, unlike bib fortuna, this is a must buy figure even if you are not a republic commando fan
4/5
Overall :
21.5/25
All we ask for is articulations at the ankle and knee!

After all these years, I still love Clones

Cool review, e3lipse.
Though, it might be better to include more pics in certain sections.
For example, a pic of only the accessories, in the accessories section.
But, it's a good review, concise and focused.
Just a query, is the backpack articulated, or is it just a single piece?
