They have lightsabers now?!
Sergeant Kreel is one of the novelties from the Disney-era Star Wars, he's a deadly Storm Trooper Sergeant that wields a lightsaber despite not being force sensitive. He has only appeared in the comics, so far, and I thought he'd be an interesting addition to my collection.
So, there's this thing about Kreel... he hasn't had the most
consistent depiction ever. Sometimes the pouch on his right leg is also held by straps to the thigh, sometimes it isn't. One time, the red pauldron as on his other side, and sometimes the black parts on his sides have white rectangles... like it does on the art they chose for the box. So he does look like the
average depiction of Kreel, just not the one on the boxart 'cause he is
missing the white rectangles. Details aside, he is a cool looking Storm Trooper, with a few extra black pouches on his arms and legs, as well as a black backpack. Sadly, these aren't sculpted or glued onto the guy, so they may fall loose, which is a bit
lame. He comes with his green lightsaber as well as a blaster gun. Sadly, both Saber and Gun are meant for the right hand, because the left hand
can't get a good grip on either.
Kreel was made on the new Storm Trooper buck, so he articulates as well as any of them. The red pauldron connects to the neck, so you can just spin it to get the
full range of movement on his arm. He is just a bit shorter than Bucky Cap.
Kreel is a really cool looking Storm Trooper, nothing more, nothing else. It's a bit of a shame that his pouches must hang loose... but, hey, he has a lightsaber!
