1/6 Hot Toys Exclusive - Star Wars - Shadow Trooper Collectible Figure

[kevb0977]

I thought these were from the comic strips back in the 70s originally? (although still not canon)

I thought the Shadowtroopers were supposed to be in ESB & hunt down Han? Before they changed it to the bounty hunters instead?

They are also called Blackhole troopers right? I'd be in for a red colourway btw.

Yes they are but I think the Blackhole Stormtroopers were a specific group under the command of agent Blackhole, the bulk are just called Shadowtroopers.

Damn it! This stuff is all going to hit at once for me.

 

[Darkseed]

I'm really starting to wonder if Hot Toys and Sideshow are secretly shadow entities of the video game industry. Consistently it seems like the sixth scale figure market is the only thing that comes close to the gaming industry in saying when something will release and then delaying it and then delaying it again for good measure.

Aren't all of these recent issues related to the dock strikes in Cali?

So if it's coming out in March via Sideshow if the chances of a WL conversion are stronger. I may have to pick up one on ebay and run the risk of having two or cancelling with WL.

Yes, thus the February - March timeline.....strike gets settled early it's February, if not maybe March. Thing is it's only 70 people that are striking, but almost closing down L.A./Long Beach ports.

I didn't realize this wasn't in the films. I was going to cancel my order but people have told me that it's better to sell it in the aftermarket because it can earn a pretty penny like Thor Light armor? Originally wanted that too, and then the elbow problems...

 

[Darkseed]

Elbow problems?

It's an exclusive and if you don't count the DX07, the first HT SW figure. It'll fetch a good amount of coin in a year or so. Or you could just give it to me.

You better not look in the AoU figure thread then.

You'll just have to accept it...your collection is destined to become mine.

Uh oh.... what's happening over there?

 

[mattdorris]

Yeah the dock strike is killing getting any figures. I've been waiting on robocop since the middle of November and they told me it's stuck at the port. I was hoping to have this figure in January

Whoops, I meant the XLII thread. You might want to look away.
