Action Figure #549: Star Wars The Black Series Commander Pyre

 The Trooper that wanted to be an Oscar statue.

 I don't remember how or why it happened, but one day I discovered that there was a golden Trooper. Just like that I had to figure out who he was, turned out he was Commander Pyre, and the next thing that I had to know was if it had a figure, turns out he did. So here we are.
 Well, this is gonna be easy, because everything I said about Captain Cardinal applies to him as well. Same exact mold, but in much cooler gold. I was hoping he'd be as tall as Phasma, but nah, he is as short as any other trooper. He only has two differences with Cardinal: He has a shoulder-pad instead of a cape and his blaster rifle is different, but other than that... he is identical, even the side arm is identical.
 And as you'd guess, the articulation is exactly the same. The shoulder piece does limit how high he can raise his right arm, and it is made out of solid plastic, but it's not to hard to spin it out of the way, if you need, or you can just remove his head and remove the piece. That aside, he has the same issues with his legs, but the same enhanced range with his elbows.
 So, does a cooler paint job make it a cooler figure?... yeah! He is a cooler version of Captain Cardinal, I mean, he is a gold Trooper, what else could you want!?
