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

[Hask]

The butt flap was literally a single flap:

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

Right got you. Yes that is correct the flap is just a piece of cloth.

Googles "buttflap" on work computer...get's email from HR...

There's definitely less weathering than the proto, which is disappointing to some degree, but at the same time the Scout Trooper in ROTJ never had that degree of weathering so this a bit more accurate in that regard.

Even still it probably has too much weathering/ dirt scratches etc. if we're being honest haha.

 

[TaliBane]

Jeez HT really doubled down on those god-awful fern fronds.

They are halfway between dollar store fish tank foliage and something from a sci-fi planet.... not really all that close to regular ol' ground ferns as found in Northern Califonria forests and as seen in ROTJ.

Helmet hood also seems to be flat as Mando version, contrary to proto.

 

[Hando]

Where the heck are the reviews and in hands pictures?

He never had a sniper rifle too. They are clearly, but not admittedly, balancing between RoTJ and Battlefront version.

Which admittedly is a good move. That single Mandalorian scout trooper with a measly pistol just felt like a complete rip off so I'm glad they can bend the rules here and there to at least make a slightly better product, even if they don't always.

Bought the bike set plus one singular Scout, glad I skip the peculiar Mando version.

These pics make the figure look great:

That second picture makes me wonder how much neck articulation the scout has. No good flying through the forest on a speeder if you can only stare at the ground flying by.

 

[FlyAndFight]

I was originally thinking of getting two of these. I may just get one set and a single Scout Trooper to throw on my Hasbro Speederbike...

I just ordered the single trooper, to go alongside my mando scout trooper & bike.
Havin the rifle makes the poseability a lot better with this version.

 

[Mike86]

I think it looks good overall. The weathering is more subtle instead of heavier like the prototype. To me it actually looks a bit better.

I’m hoping to get the Scout plus Speeder Bike set, but will at least get a Scout. I have one of the Sideshow Scouts too so probably just one will do for me.

I'm satisfied - thanks for that.

 

[Gipetto0812]

Figure turned out looking great! I have yet to buy a trooper though Only thing I actually want from this set is the little foresty card-topper for the display stand

 

[Dave_W]

That base topper being loose is weird seeing as they were glued down for Leia and Wicket.

 

[Mandible]

My concern is that none of the photos/videos have the trooper hunched forward enough in that iconic motorbike position. I managed to get it pretty good with the Sideshow combo (without modification), so I'm surprised the HT haven't been able to get that as well?

I was hoping to wake up and see a review from the guy with the kids (Reagan).
