2010 ARF Trooper Boil/AT-RT Walker mini-rig Pack

Ok, so here are my thoughts on the Clone Wars 2010 ARF Trooper Boil with AT-RT Walker mini-rig!
 
ARF Trooper Boil: Clone Trooper Boil wears this armor in the episode "Landing at Point Rain". Boil was the first ARF Trooper in the desert camo that Hasbro made. Boil has the standard Clone body, which includes all the necessary articulation, including ankle. Detailing, his helmet features a deco of that girl Numa, on the side of his helmet. He also has a red triangle on the top of his visor, as well as a blue line going straight through the middle of the helmet. Boil's ARF armor is very similar to the generic ones, except that he has yellow paint on his shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees, shins, around his chest area, and a bit on the side of his ribs. ARF Trooper Boil's only acessory is the standard DC-15 blaster. I'm going to rate ARF Trooper Boil at 9/10. Artculation and detailing on Boil is absolutely superb, Hasbro have got all the colurs, positions and paint colours for the detailing is simply spot on, everywhere. It would have been nice to get another acessory with him, or a removable helmet, but that's the only downside of a otherwise fantastic Clone figure.

AT-RT Walker: The only AT-RT Walker appearance in the show was in the episode "Liberty of Ryloth", though it will be returning in season 4 of the TV show. The AT-RT Walker never appeared in the episode this mini-rig pack is based on, so it's deco's and all are entirely Hasbro's creation. The AT-RT features good movement and articulation in the legs, top and bottom. It has a very nice rotating cannon, which is good playability for the kids. It has a neat removable piece on it, right behind the driver's seat, which you have to push it inwith it's pointy thing into the hole on the AT-RT. It is very easy to get a figure into a good position onto this vehicle, which is good. The paints applications on this are really cool, and definitly make it stand out from normal AT-RT's. It has a yellow line going down the front of it, similar to the Waxer line on his ARF Trooper gear. The AT-RT also has a red triangle on it. It's painted in the desert camo, like the Geonosis troops. It has four yellow lines on it. Two at the front, near the cannon, and two just behind the driver's seat, although I don't know what they say. It contains two handles for the figure you choose to put on it to hold on to something. I'm going to rate this superb vehicle at the full 10/10. It's a really, really nice vehicle. Articulation on it's legs are awesome, rotating cannon is a cool playability addidition, and the paint applications and detailing are really outstanding on this.

I rate the pack as a whole at 9/10. Boil doesn't come with a removable helmet, but it is still a truly great pack for your collection, or for your Clone army. I totally recommend you pick this one up. Hasbro really did do a superb job on this one.
