Did some digging and found these two pics from some years ago. Apologies to the owner, as I don't know who took them. The difference is quite noticeable. Seems that while SS's is too small, Hasbro's may be too big?

If the HT is even smaller than SS's, that is definitely going look strange.I think your assessment is correct. The Sideshow should be bigger and the Hasbro a bit smaller. The HT is definitely smaller than the Sideshow. The details of the Hasbro aren't as sharp but it's a nice enough inexpensive stand in. Could probably improve it a good bit with a little work too. So ultimately there are advantages and disadvantages to all three.
Well, the speeder in 1/6th should be 22 inches long. So Hasbro might be correct -- its just overstuffed and toyish looking.
You gotta do what you gotta do. Displayed as a background vehicle, I think you make a valid point considering the $275 price tag on the ROTJ Speeder.
Vehicles usually end up in the closet for me -- Maul's speeder.
There was always just one vehicle that I ever planned to have on display because it is inseparable from its rider to me -- and that is the ROTJ speeder. I never really cared for the Scout Trooper look, but on the bike its great. So I really want the full Trooper on Bike. And honestly, having just viewed multiple videos and photos of the Hasbro vs the Sideshow (rickety thing falls apart in Justin's video) vs the Mando speeder... I just resold myself on the HT ROTJ Speeder.
Fortunately I have $192 in points to bring that $275 Speeder down to a manageable $83.
I’m right there with ya. I’ve got $111 in rewards, & as I skipped on SS version, I’m burning ‘em all on this set.I suspect I don't really need this, but feel if anything I should snag it and just decide later on keeping it, no big deal. I have $100 worth of points that will need to be burned on something, may as well be on something overpriced.
I thought I saw a comparison on Justin's channel a while back. HT comes off as superior.Is there a sideshow speeder vs mandalorian speeder video? That would be a great help. Also , this thread is a giant that’s what she said meme waiting to happen with bigger and smaller and inches and
That’s what she said

This. I'm impressed with how 'right' it looks, inaccuracies notwithstanding. It's what pushed me over the edge, at the end of the day.The helmet sculpt is super impressive, so happy it's closer than the many HT trooper misses. Fortunately this fell into the Snowie end of accuracy, not the ANH stormie.
After the whole blurrg being packed with both mandalorian and Kuiil, I wonder if we get an endor Luke or leia with speeder?
You have left our lands, so we say praise be to equality, Twitter and Biker Scout sculpts.It gets the Talibane Stamp of Approval... that's high praise!
