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

[Lejuan]

Actually that's 11 of us so far.

Expect delays

That's literally what I was just thinking. First non-film/TCW/Rebels character under the Disney umbrella. I thought that was a no no.

Maybe they got duped by the fake episode VII trailer, although then he'd come with a lightsaber:

[Darkseed]

I like international trailer.....

 

[TheFiend]

So I'm confused as to why this is getting released Q4 2014/Q1 2015 when the standard troops don't ship until august/September...

Wow, thats pretty soon.

 

[TonTon]

Clearly a Sandtrooper is coming. You think they did the pauldron for the blacktrooper only?

I didn't think we'd see a sandtrooper so quickly either but it makes sense with HT. Now I have a real dilemma...

This seems a given from the pauldron and hip pouches--a mini announcement within an announcement.
I'm happy about the prospect too as I just picked up the cantina environment during spook and would prefer to display it from the outside with 3PO, R2, and a sandtrooper or two. Too many amazing figures coming out!

 

[TheFiend]

Im glad I'm not a complertist. Sheesh.

Bring on the Awesome, Hot Toys!!!
Shadowtroopers rock!.. don't care that they are not in the movies (or will they be?).. no 'yellowing' armor on these bad boys.. got the Sideshow version and will deffo add the HT.. will look good next to my 1:1 Shadowtrooper figure.

 

[Wor-Gar]

HT is smart.

First, the Shadowtrooper.

This time next week, the Black Hole Trooper -- exact same figure. But you just got to get it.

[Reefer Shark]

I like it, will most likely order if I don't have to jump through hoops to get it. If not, I'll just be happy with the SS one I already have.


Will buy the crap out of any Sandtroopers they make without hesitation though, so this guy is good news for me.

 

[Prime Clone]

Think of it less as an EU character and more as a cool and unusual concept design befitting an exclusive, that's easy to produce.

That said, I loved them on this cover...

 

[Matt S]

Good enough for SSC but not HT? Hypocrisy at its finest...but the beauty with an exclusive like this: don't like it, don't buy it

 

[devilof76]

Did Sideshow do a 1:6 figure of this? I thought it was Medicom.

Yeah they did - and I will say that they waited some time before doing it, not while their stormtrooper was still in the preoder phase

SSC also did the Stormtrooper Commander from the video game

I'm pretty sure they took plenty of heat for that one.

Tbh, I would not be surprised if we get a Stormtrooper Commander from Hot Toys.. kinda makes sense once they have the tooling.

I don't have one, but I think it looks ok -

 

[devilof76]

It looks fine. People were annoyed that is was another variant (and one with zero history at that point).

I'll wait for a spook deal on the joker stormie.
