Nice. 

Are the body sculpts all re-releases with all unique head sculpts?  I don’t really need this, but I’m sure I’m going to buy one.

I can't say that I was personally clamoring for this set - especially in light of the re-release of the Echo Base Trooper.  That was a very welcome re-release.  This set definitely makes these troopers seem less like a bunch of clones.  I think I'm good for at least one of these set.

I like this one.  Variety in human troops is long overdue.

Love this set.  Love it.

Can’t wait for the “even though they didn’t need to make things more diverse because Star Wars has always been diverse” bull**** storyline to accompany it from a certain site. 🙄

I’m hoping for Hoth Troopers and Endor Troopers too.  The new sculpting really gives me hope for the Endor guys being diverse designs.

I’d take new snow troopers too if they had some mix to them I think.

Hopefully the heads are swappable with the fleet troopers.  Then we could expand our armies. Same fleet troopers in Hoth outfit or Endor gear.

Oooh… I bought an extra fleet trooper set and would be all about that if it worked.

Maybe I’ll order two of these just incase.

I do not believe the peg is same size.  Pretty sure the Echo trooper peg is much smaller. 😕

Nothing a Dremel or a little sticky tack or putty couldn’t fix depending on which way you’re going.

On a related note, I wouldn't have minded if Hasbro had replaced one of the Troopers with a Torryn Farr body and a new headsculpt. There were at least a few other female techs in Echo base.
