Glad to see the Squad Leader trooper is the same as the one packed in the Amazon 7-pack.  I strategically passed on that set since it had so many repacks from the first couple of waves of the basic 3.75" figure line.  It seemed like only a matter of time until Hasbro would offer single carded versions of this Stormtrooper.  And with time I think they're going to offer the Riot Control Stormtrooper as a basic figure, too.

Kylo Ren?  It looks like the hood is removable, and I'd like to see the facial portrait before I comment further.  But you had to figure that there would be a no helmet version of Kylo Ren sooner rather than later.

Oh, and is it me, or does Nien Nunb look like a complete throwback to the Kenner vintage version?!?!

It is not the same.  The Amazon Heavy Artillery is slightly different.  #1, Amazon Heavy Artillery trooper has the big gun with stand.  #2, Squad Leader Stormtrooper's gear is different - it looks like this basic figure version possibly has a white pauldron on his right shoulder and an ammo pack on his left shoulder side (Sandtrooper style).

Oh, wonderful.  A multipack with 2 new figures and PLENTY of repacks.  Moves like that give creedence to the HasBLO monicker that many have bestowed upon the company.

While I know it seems odd - but I am very happy to see that the three carry-forwards will all feature the same build-a-weapon pieces that they originally came with.

Looking forward to getting the helmetless Kylo Ren figure - too bad the hood is up, I don't recall him ever having the hood up but the helmet off... maybe it's from the cut scene where he interrogates Zuvio?  ;)

That hood is a puzzler.  Really hoping it's removable, otherwise why bother? Like others said, how often did he wear hood with no mask?

Strange design choice if it's not removable...  :-\

Note the legs and left arm on Kylo. They are new also.

Hi Res Pics on Jedi Insider

Yeah, hard to tell if Kylo's hood is removable. Equally as hard to tell if the gear/pauldron on the Stormie is removable. If they are, I'll definitely pick both up.

I'm going with removable on that hood - no part of it looks like it's molded to the torso at all. 

Also that likeness is terrible.

Since a articulating stormies isn't too hard I will nab him regardless but yeah, I hope the gear is removable.  Bummed no heavy gun too.

Jungle/Space Wave 4 =
forest = Resistance Rey, Han Solo, Hassk Thug
space = X-Wing Poe, TIE Pilot, Resistance Trooper (re-issues **)

This wave is now up for pre-order at EE:
- Case of 12
- Set of 6

Sounds like the Jungle/Space Wave 5 will be up for pre-order at EE soon as well...

Really wish Hasbro would release a combined Wave 4/5 case with 2x all six of the new wave 4/5 figures from both the Jungle/Space and Snow/Desert assortments. Online retailers must cringe when they see case pack ratios like this, it essentially shoots them in the foot right out of the gate.

Is that... a soft good skirt?!?  Wow, nice to see maybe some hint that maybe they are starting to improve the 5POA figures just a little bit.  Maybe?
