Jay, that comparison shot eases some of my fears, especially as it dulls the sheen on the costume... The height thing looks substantially less distracting. At least it looks less distracting than Vander's height is to me. Cool shot with the other black suited impy's. Curious how he stacks against a stormtrooper like was noted, but they should be about the height of the Imp. Officer figure so I have a vague idea about that regardless.
Thanks man, I appreciate that. The ball joiints look really a lot better in your photo too.
The knees don't bother me because they really do (when you think about the costume's look) appear like the bunched up fabric at the top of the boots, as they should in a way. The shoulders don't match the squared look of the Imperial costume but I think that's what Hasbro was attempting... Trying to hide the ball/socket in the "sharp" angle of broad shouldered jacket the Imperials wear. Tough (impossible?) to do with a ball/socket joint I guess but I see the attempt.
The elbows look fine... The height's only slightly distracting too, so it's improving to me, again...
