I wish they hadn't gone with the ribbons and the kintsugi gold repairs in the show, but just regular beaten up trooper armour.
I personally love the gold but the ribbons are too much. Less is more, leaving off the ribbbons definitely would have been betterI wish they hadn't gone with the ribbons and the kintsugi gold repairs in the show, but just regular beaten up trooper armour.

But not at odds with Thrawn the art and culture lover, so in this case I think it fitsIf I get him I'd definitely remove the ribbons if possible as they look a bit naff.
As for the gold, my view is that it's overkill and too on the nose replicating the Japanese art. Broken pottery was repaired with lacquer, and the joints coated with powdered gold, silver or platinum so as not to hide the repair, but tell the object's story.
Such an act of beautification seems at odds with the purpose of these troopers.

Agreed. That was a nice touch to Thrawn’s love of art, plus connecting it the ST with Kylo Ren’s helmet.But not at odds with Thrawn the art and culture lover, so in this case I think it fits

Dear lord we really need a Doctor Aphra figure
Shown again but not put up for pre order? I don't think we'll ever get this
The two troopers are waitlisted at Sideshow last time I checkedPerhaps not enough people ordered the Night stormtrooper so they are holding off putting up the night death trooper for order
Everything seems to get waitlisted nowadays and they may be ordering less overall to avoid shelf warmers.The two troopers are waitlisted at Sideshow last time I checked
Everything goes to waitlist now. They probably expect (x) amount of orders within (x) amount of time and may reduce that depending on what they get. So some things could waitlist earlier than others depending on (lack of?) demand.The two troopers are waitlisted at Sideshow last time I checked
