Follow up to my question - To Open or Not To Open...
Here is the original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/ActionFigures/comments/3kypt5/to_open_or_not_to_open/
Well tonight i decided to start opening a few. I opened Ray, Finn & Kylo Ren. I had the most success getting Finn to stand with no problems. Kylo Ren took a hair of work to get the balance right, but he stood up well. Ray, and BB-8 Were both a bit more challenging to get the upright, but again, got her standing and BB facing the right way.
Ok, so those were not too hard, let keep going. Next on the list, Han & Luke in Stormtrooper disguises. Well Han stood up nearly as easily as Finn.
Luke.... That's the effing problem. After about 15 minutes I finally got him balanced with his legs spread in a really awkward way and the second I bumped the shelf, down he went. The problem with Luke is that the Stormtrooper armor prevents his legs from moving forward pushing his center of gravity too far back. Also the Armor prevents his feet from moving back and fourth, I could only get them to go side to side. I should have taken pictures but I didn't think about it at the time, I was frustrated.
So long story short, ALL of them went back in the boxes and I've decided I'm staying with keeping them un-opened.
TLDR: Luke is a little bitch. Figures to remain Un-opened.
