Together with the First Order Stormtrooper Episode 7 version.

This kit is the 1/12 First Order Stormtrooper (Episode 9) from the Star Wars series. It was released ahead of Episode 9: The Rise of Skywalker, which was set to open in 2020. The kit is based on the existing Episode 7 version of the First Order Stormtrooper, with one runner from the Episode 8 Stormtrooper Executioner added, plus three epaulette runners on top of that.

The base body is identical to the Episode 7 version, with a slightly enlarged face mask and epaulettes added to the shoulders. A blaster pistol has also been newly added as a weapon. The most noticeable change is the addition of the epaulettes, which can be applied in 3 different types depending on the color of the seals you choose. Beyond that, the F-11D blaster rifle, tonfa, and Betaplast riot shield from the Episode 7 version are all still included as well.

Anyway, since the base body is still the same as before, it delivers solid articulation and joint strength as expected. For this review, it's worth paying close attention to the added and changed parts. It's a modest update overall, but it's still meaningful just to have the new episode's Stormtrooper released. :-)
