chiangkaishecky over at the Starship Modeller Forum found a magazine scan of the STAP, Poe's X-wing and mini-TIE fighters:

Wow, that pilot figure looks really small.

It's awesome that Bandai engineered the battledroid to fold into storage mode. There's no way the old AMT kit could do that (I tried).

It's a shame they aren't releasing the battle drioids as a two pack as well as with the STAP. This way if someone wanted to display the droid folded and in other positions or colour schemes, they wouldn't have to get so many STAPs.

Am I the only one who thinks the "folded" battledroid looks like it's on a camping trip trying to take a dump in the woods?

You might be. But if it' is in "dump mode," the squat IS supposed to be the healthiest and most efficient way to do it. :lol

It could still happen depending on how Bandai separates the sprues, like they did with the R2 kit in two separate 'buddy' packs.

Perhaps you have given FrightMaker a new idea. Have a few Battledroids roasting marshmallows, put a STAP in a tree and, of course, have one taking a dump in the background.

Again, Bandai did a superb details on those wings. You really need a magnifying glass to appreciate those details. Its crazy!
I just said on SSM that the only concern I have with those TIE Interceptor pics is the warping in the solar panel detail. I don't think there's any way to fix that!

It might be an issue with that one kit build- other images of the Interceptor posted (without paint) do not show any warpage-

Someone as SSM said it's probably flow distortion where the plastic is discolored, but it's not a physical problem.
