Action Figure #548: Star Wars The Black Series Captain Cardinal

 They come in red now!?

 Well, I wasn't planning on collecting Troopers until the pair of Storm Troopers that came with StarKiller made it into my hands, and now, I can't stop. Captain Cardinal is a First Order clad in red, kinda like the Sith Troopers, but with a cape. 
 And well, yeah, he is a First Order Storm Trooper but painted red... and with a soft-goods cape. In other words, he is pretty much a Sith Trooper but with a cape, not that I mind, but... I sorta expected him to at least be taler, like Phasma. But no, if it wasn't for his cape, he'd just get lost among Sith Troopers. Be that as it may, he is still a red Trooper, so he looks badass. He comes with a gun and a rifle, either can be stored on his leg, but the pegs are a bit short, so they don't hold very well.
 Articulation is the same as with the First Order Executioner, but a bit better when it comes to the arms. As per the norm back then, single jointed elbows, but double jointed legs. No arm swivels, but he has thigh swivels and a ball jointed torso.
 As per usual with these FO Troopers, the pouches on his belt restrict how far to thesides his legs can go.
 That said, he has a much deeper con on his elbow than Phasma or the FO Troopers, so he does reach 90 degrees of articulation. He is as tall as Bucky Cap.
 Well, Captain Cardinal is kinda cool. I'm happy they finally fixed the issue with the troopers' lacking elbow bend, but the issue with their legs is still disappointing.
