Shocktroopers: Plastic vs Metal 2
So, we’ve seen all the individual parts, but how do the models compare side by side, fully assembled?
Well, take a look for yourself!
Seeing them side-by-side, we see that the metal model is a tad taller and thinner, and the new plastics are a bit shorter and wider. Also, the Plastic Torso is linger and more pointed in the front.
Taking a look at the shoulderpads, you can see how the pads being a separate piece forces them into a flatter angle, broadening the torso, and bulking it out just a bit. I think the pads are the same size on the two models, however the Plastic ones just have a greater volume.
Another cool thing about the plastics? Magnet-ization!
Nice review on both the individual parts and the metal to plastic comparison. Being able to magnitize the plastics is definately an added bonus! Do you have a preferance of metal or plastic?
I think I prefer the Plastics. As much as I enjoy the bigger, bolder detail of the metals, the pose-ability of the plastics just cannot be outmatched. Plus, it’s soooo much easier to re-pose plastics 😀
Where’d you get the spare MoW arms for magnetization?
eBay baby! I did not get a card though, so I’ll have to order one.
