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

[Mr.Tanker]

Buy one and sell the Scout.

I'm debating it. I already have one on order, and that 10% off is tempting.

Anyone tried the helmet mod yet?

Maybe I missed something, what mod is this?

You mean remove the gap?

Quick side by side with Sideshow’s. I never want to mess with SS’s again. I thought I might display them together but nope. Not gonna happen. He might be useful displayed on the bike but that’s about it.

 

[Mike86]

Wow, that side by side is pretty telling. The Hot Toys figure is a major improvement.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Is the HT Scout really tall?

Is the HT Scout really tall?

Yeah, he’s a bit on the tall side. The stubby Sideshow Scout exaggerates it in that pic though.

Is he taller than an HT Stormtrooper? It must be the extra long ankle pegs for articulation.

By about 5/16 of an inch. Not sure what HT did on this one. He’s taller than the Nevarro scout. I may see if they put the longer ankle pegs on it. If so I have Gideon’s short ones that I could swap out.

Interesting. I put the ROTJ Scout on the bike almost immediately so didn't do enough comparisons to notice that.

The shorter ankle pegs might help for my non-bike scout.

I quickly put the two HT scouts (ROTJ/Mando) side by side and felt like the Mando Scout had a slightly more man-in-suit vibe for some reason. Maybe the height had something to do with throwing the promotions off. The main issue I noticed was that the arms seemed to hang a bit closer to the side on the Mando Scout. Figured that was due to the pouch placement.

Edit: Looking back I guess the Mando Scout was a little taller than the Stormie and Snowie.

I noticed the same thing about the Mando Scout. Just a bit more natural looking. I’ll try the shorter pegs if possible and see how it looks.

This is the mando helmet that I got cheap to experiment on. Sorry that I didn't get a before pic of the separated parts, but it came apart easy enough, and these are the parts after being trimmed so as to eliminate the gap. There is a step at the bottom when put back together, and the last pic I've sanded the bottom smooth.
I'll give it another go on the ROTJ helmet whenever I can pic up a spare

And the ROTJ Scout is even taller?

I will definitely be keeping him on the bike.

Nice work. Looks great.

I will be doing this mod on my Scout.

 

[medicomsucks]

I can't be 100% sure but I think Justin compared them in his review videooooooh. I think the Hot Toys bike is marginally smaller than the Sideshow version.

He did indeed. There were pluses and minuses to both versions. The hot toys wasnt so much better to justify it if you have the ssc version.

I'm also waiting for payday before ordering this. I also dont think you will get a much better deal from sideshow than 10% off.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

@shull24 Thats a nice mod! I was looking at mine and thinking that could be done somehow. Nice to know it’s possible.

As far as the ankle pegs go they are already the short ones so I’m not sure where the extra height is coming from.

BTW is there a way to change the Hot Toys Scout boots to the Sideshow ones?

 

[irezumi]

Why ? The holster on the SSC boots is made for the teeny cricket blaster.

 

[user 71794]

I'm not too keen on the idea of these hot toys scout boots deteriorating in a few years or if they do. I too liked the sculpted plastic boots on SS scout, but the holster on the SS boots probably wont facilitate the larger HT blaster.
