[DCFett]

Okay guys, last one and I’ll stop. I haven’t enjoyed a 1/6 this much for quite a while.

Did you remove it fully? Or just modded the bulk suit?

Took out all of the belly and the arms.

Oh ok so the chest armor and arm armor aren’t loose? What, if anything, did you leave?

The suit only covers down his bicep (which I removed) chest, stomach and legs. The padding on his legs is noticeably thinner, so I left that.

These bulk suits should not be connected OVER the joints. Just gives the figures rigor mortis.

I removed from all three, not a big deal. It all comes off and goes back on pretty easily if you've done some modding in the past. Chest armor is slightly tight, but has some nice super-stretchy elastic.

Everything is fairly straightforward. As Felinx said, the chest armor is a bit of a hassle, but get the arms straight up and the elastic bands give enough stretch it pulls off. Just go easy, if one part is to go wrong, that would be the one.

Thanks very much both. I think I'll need to brave and try this. I want to be able to get him into that leant forward riding position.

Still waiting this from KG. Finally he got back to me with message. They are saying hopefully January. Are you kidding me?
I asked for refund, and they are gonna give back only 85%.
No more KG for me. Boycott!

Now it's February and still no news from KG! WTH!?

I got the ‘hopefully later in Jan’ message from them too back in December.
I guess it could have been ready in late Jan but CNY stopped everything… is that ludicrously long and disruptive holiday finally over yet?

Though it's for a handful of other Star Wars figures, i'm also eagerly awaiting for invoices from KGH. I guess that first week following New Year festivities wasn't enough to get the logistic chain back to full speed.

If we’re talking just OT Imperial troopers (not including OT adjacent like RO and Mando) then I have about 3 dozen. But that is an admittedly relatively small portion of total troopers.

So yes, go for it.

Wait for a deal though. No use buying the current crop of figures at full price.

One of the best parts of this forum is that you’ll always find someone that’ll make your buying decisions look sane by comparison.

I could still kick myself,that I didn’t buy the Hot Toys Stormtrooper

Yeah I’ve only got two preorders with them and then that’s it.

When Popcultcha gets figures in before them you know something is really wrong.

I like their ANH and ROTJ Stormtrooper figures but there’s room for improvement.

Despite the current shows using mostly the RO armor, I think they’ll make an OT Stormtrooper again. Might be a while though. It’s been 8 years since the ANH and 4 years since the ROTJ already.

Nice shot, but I think you've got the shoulderpads upside down?

I absolutely did, but after fixing them I was too lazy to take new pics.

30+ stormies? Wow, that's gotta look legendary on display, hot damn. As a trooper junkie myself, that's awesome.

Has anyone got one of these from kghobby? Still waiting for mine to be invoiced

 

[Tee-Kay]

A friend just received his invoice from KG. You might want to check your mailbox.

I'm impatiently waiting on PAF getting theirs. Seems like forever.
