1/6 Hot Toys - MMS647 - Episode II: Attack of The Clones - Shiny Clone Trooper

[MyenShi]

Just checked sideshow, says “shipped” no tracking info yet.

Same, my 2 clones are "shipped," no e-mail or tracking info yet though. Usually takes 4-5 days for them to get to me, so maybe by the weekend, if not on Monday.

Hopefully you’ll both have them in hand soon. Congrats!

Sorry but your final sentence is not correct. HT is famous for delivering accurate sculpts and figures, but some times they do some rather silly inaccuracies. E.g. ROTJ stormie helmet, ROTJ scout trooper w bike, PT guns, minor stripes not present on chest of clones and some others.

Sadly can’t think of more right now, but am certain I’ve reacted to more before. But usually issues are related to production decisions and cutting corners and not specific design errors.

Last sentence was irony

As long as it’s not the FedEx LAAT.

Blogger photos just dropped, they added the stripes on phase 2! nice.

 

[MyenShi]

Yep, and Phase 1 helmet doesn’t look bad overall honestly when taken as a whole. Will look great on display.

Really just glad they remembered the tube stripes on the Phase 2.

How is everyone here planning on displaying their Clones? Phase 1, Phase 2, mix of both, rotate?

 

[DarkChocobi]

Phase 1 exclusively , minimum a squad of six, planning to pair them with helmeted CW Obiwan.

They look great, simple and effective.

Probably more of a rotation, most of my stuff is away at the moment, but they'll probably go with TCW Anakin in their Phase I gear for a bit.

I like to switch it up sometimes too. Most likely in the beginning, with TCW Anakin, and then add in CW Obi in armor when he's released.

 

[Scout Trooper]

Managed to slip my order with Toys Buying Agent just before the price went up.

Thank you, order has been restored

 

[Chainedstream]

So no helmet changes, sad. At least we have a cool and accurate Phase 2 figure!

 

[DCFett]

Now we get to see if all this preorder sellout stuff is real. Anyone have a converted WL on this one yet? Let’s see if it stays sold out.

 

[ObiGlennKenobi]

Damn this guy looks awesome.
Definitely the week for Star wars releases.

 

[sithocan]

They have resolved the bucket problem. Tilt the head down.

 

[BurningRage]

Still on the wait list

One single phase 1 in a trio with Mace and Yoda. Then a single Super Battle Droid with Dooku and Jango.

I am still on the waitlist as well. I hopped on pretty early on. It is crazy to me that they would short This figure, which is an amazing army builder.

Unfortunately they overproduced/over ordered a number of other amazing army builders (and some not so exciting ones) which likely contributed to this getting shorted.

I think everyone currently looking to get it will still have a shot at the figure. But it’s not going to stick around like before. And I feel for anyone that tries to get in late.

Unless they’re choosing to pass on it because they’re not reading the room. I saw a comment elsewhere that said they’re going to wait for a discount like the other troopers available now. Seemed pretty adamant they could get a deal. In my head I was like oh buddy, no.
