1/6 Hot Toy - MMS612 - Episode VI - ROTJ: Scout Trooper and Speeder Bike

[echo1126]

Looks pretty good to me!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Wow! 2 OT releases in the span of a month.

Nice! Right?

With the sales that you can get the Mando bike on, I'll wait for a deal, maybe one of those nice Black Friday deals and throw some points at it as well.

The $50 price increase for this one is not cool.

 

[ObiGlennKenobi]

So....wait til it comes in locally...or order direct from TBA?

damn!

 

[Darth_Z]

Looks awesome! I passed on the Mando version in anticipation of this release. I’ll be interested to see a comparison of the bike and figure.

The way the fern fronds are packaged made me laugh, as did the presenter’s frequent use of the phrase “proprietary keyholes”.

Yeah and I'm not sure that guy understands what the word "proprietary" actually means.

Oh wow it's out now!!

 

[Hando]

From sixth scale group.. Apparantly a big downgrade on the final from the prototype

 

[Wor-Gar]

Well, your friends seem to pick really blown out pictures. Granted there's less weathering but there's more there than that picture on the left shows.

It is a shame it couldn't look like the proto.

With each release, HT is transforming from a high end company to a mediocre company in my eyes. It's not the product quality but the lack of so-called attention to detail.

 

[Dave_W]

They're churning out so much product and they're so far behind with releases it's no surprise. HT quality and detail plateaued a long time ago.

 

[Asta]

pretty cool

I think this one is based on a The Last of Us image too:

Some more shots that caught my eye:

And that butt flap was made in error to resemble unstitched pockets:

HT is lazy, we all know that. Prices are crazy, quality not so much. I am keen on Queen studios and others. HT needs competition, it's years late.

 

[The Entity]

Wow! 2 OT releases in the span of a month. Now the only OT figure up on preorder is Bespin Luke. Surely that means we’re going to get a new OT figure revealed soon, right?

I like the way you think!

 

[TaliBane]

Will be interesting to see a side-by-side review of this fig with the Mando version - I don't think the ROTJ helmet is a 100% repaint of the Mando helmet, but it's hard to tell (I don't have the Mando version in-hand)

The ROTJ helmet hood looks to have a bit more curve on the top and be slightly thinner than the Mando version on the outer edges. The Mando version seems more boxy and squared, plus a bit thicker.

Really hard to tell for sure though - the Biker Scout helmet gets easily distorted in pics.

What do you mean?

I’ll wait for the review videos before I pass final judgement, but it does look like a downgrade from the prototype (shocking). I was going to get two bike sets and 2 singles, but now I’m not sure, especially with space being at a premium. This was my most anticipated release and once again hot toys gets lazy. Not much left that I really want to order and I doubt I’ll be interested in anything shown at the con.

 

[Asta]

What do you mean?

The butt flap was literally a single flap:

The figure has what resembles two distinct pockets that are partly sewn on:
