1/6 Hot Toys - MMS - Rogue One - Stormtrooper Jedha Patrol

[Hoody999]

I don't know what it is, but these RO stormtroopers just look cheap somehow. Not sure what it is. Maybe too simplistic or the helmet looks like something different to Hot Toys ??

That backpack does look cool though.

I'd get the original sand trooper and use him. Better weathering and can fit in with the RO troops i think. But i'm not someone who has to have everything down to the last scratch from the film matching on my figure.

Is there a thread for the squad leader and regular Stormtrooper?

Cheap and ugly. For example, compare the lower leg armour. How clunky it is compared to the tapered OT trooper.

 

[Hoody999]

Yep. You're right. It's the small things that make the difference.

Winerack backpack looks OK, but as usual no weathering on materials by HT.

Thanks for the Pics TonTon. Are you at NYCC ?, or did you get them online ?

Would like to know if there are any alternative Shore Troopers on show pics, maybe squad leader with Kama.

These guys look like they've been patrolling a Cheetos factory.

Give em a break, it's difficult to suck Cheetos in through the front air vent of your helmet without a bit of spray !

Yeah, there is something that seems so off about the redesign of these stormies - almost like they are consumer-bought costume stormies, not a stormies from the SW universe. Very cosplay/fan-made looking.

Even more minor things like the thigh armor (too short,) the shin/ankles (too wide and stumpy) and the shoes look kind of weird. He's all upper torso with little shorty legs.

And yeah, a bit more weathering on the winerackpack would have sold it a bit better, even though it's nice detailing. Weird that HT did a quite nice job on the ANH Sandie's weathering, yet this one looks very unconvincingly done.

I jus don't understand why they had to mess with anything at all. It's pretty much on the new hope timeline, so what would really be that different???

 

[Unclechopchop]

Also the funny thing is, everybody is talking smack about these figures, but I bet they'll still buy em

Yeah, maybe let's call him Stormtrooper Cheddha Patrol.

Here are a few pics I took today:

Unlike most everyone here, I'm really liking the re-design.

Still better than ROTJ stormies, IMO

I guess I must be in the minority as well, but I'm liking these new Stormtroopers. I'm trying to decide which version I'm gonna go for if any. As long as I can afford it, I'm sort of thinking of pairing the ANH Sandtrooper Sergeant and this RO orange pauldron Jedha Patrol.

 

[Darkseed]

I like em as well.....

 

[Matt S]

Same here. Guess I am a sucker for Stormies. Period

That's strange. Wor Gar can't see another one I posted in the Zuckuss thread. But I can see them fine.

Can anyone else see the pics I posted?

 

[Wor-Gar]

Nope.

Not everyone is on Chrome, Lu. Re-save your pics as jpegs.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Ok, I got it now. I just have to access the photos from Safari.
