First and foremost let me say that this is technically NOT the Captain Phasma blaster. It is a First Order Stormtrooper blaster (it even says so on the cardboard packaging it comes with). However, Captain Phasma's blaster is very similar to the Stormtrooper blaster. Her blaster has slightly different parts and is aluminum/chrome colored. The blaster is well made, but I will say that if you're an adult and you want this blaster, I wouldn't recommend buying this (go with the NERF version). It's a lot smaller than you'd think and fits a child 4-12 a lot better. I bought it for my daughter's Captain Phasma costume and I'm very happy with it. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my purchase.
