I think it’s a bit easier because video games are more of a niche. Scorch was relatable to a more broad audience. This will still sell out though.

I hate how tempted I am by this thing when I already have the OBK Purger. Even though it would literally just be for the cooler helmet. Almost kind of glad it'll be sold out soon, so the decision will be made for me.

Available for about an hour. I wish all their limited editions this easy. I only got this because it'll look good with some of the other figures I've got on shelf. I'm not a video game person, but really liked the atheistic of this guy...
Secured one. I was caught up at work and noticed the email 30 minutes after it went live.
If they don’t make Trilla, it’ll be standalone. I’ll probably display it next to the console or on my desk away from everyone else. It just doesn’t fit with the rest of my collection enough to make it work. Awesome design though, and I’ll overlook the inaccuracies.

I was at the store and got an email and was like “ oh damn I missed it!” I know how delayed their notifications can be, but when I clicked the link I was able to order. Wonder if queue is a thing of the past?
There just wasn’t a lot of interest for this and I’m assuming Sideshow has marketing data and anticipated that. No need for a queue

I missed the boat by the time I saw the email. Very frustrating. I wish Sideshow would email what day/time it's going up for pre-order when you sign up for interest. I can't have my face buried in my emails 24/7 in case it drops. Not to mention the email is usually late and that doesn't help.
Anyway I'm on the waitlist of eternal FOMO.
For those interested I've posted the Secret Base shot. It gives you some idea of what the head will look like without the batteries lighting the eyes. Basically as it will realistically be displayed. Shame it looks better when you can distinguish the eyes from the rest of the helmet. Perhaps it will look better with the right lighting conditions.
Note to Howard: You've had your practice now stop faffing about and release the 212th Airborne Trooper already (and the orange better match Cody)...... please, thank you sir.

If you missed out and own a 3D printer (or you want the armour with more game accurate shoulder pads) Skylu3D this month is doing the armour as a printable kit for 1:12 and 1:6 figures.

That's good to know, thank you.
So the shoulder pads should be the Cody style, correct?
Also the kama should’ve had the slit in the back and imo, the red kama lining color shouldn’t have been as bright.
Any other inaccuracies?

Not quite Cody shoulders as more subtle, sort of blend between reg clone shoulder and Cody.
All the clones in the game had the different shoulder pads so they are obviously meant to represent the same shoulder pads as the movie clones so while not game accurate the HT figure shoulders should be "lore accurate".
