1/6 Hot Toys - MMS721 - Episode IV: A New Hope - Sandtrooper Sergeant

[Zurdo95D]

Same here. I know people who would order two 1/4 Stormies

I’ll buy 6 of this. Mark me.

No shame in buying multiples of figures/characters you really like

Star Wars was once my religion, but I've fallen from the purer faith.

Can't get very excited even for the OT now, but I may get the Sergeant to go with the old orange pauldron guy...

Could go with LOTR too?

My focus being OT Imperials, I don't mind having multiple identical figures for example. I collect for myself, don't care whatever others might say. There was someone who was wondering why I would buy a Hot Toys R2-Q5 and R5-J2, if ever made, since I already have the Sideshow versions. Just because. As long as I don't ask him for the money, why wonder about what I'm doing with my collection and $

I was right there in just about to order a second single Sandie Sergeant, but realized no place to display as already have 2 HT orange pauldron Sandtroopers (and a Marmit), and need space for the, hopefully, upcoming Death Star Trooper too.

I definitely need 2-3 of this and one dewback set. Have to stock up on ot releases because who knows when we will get another Sandtrooper. It’s only been 6-7 years

Anyone have thoughts on how multiple of these will look next to each other? I'd love to put together a team but I'm a bit worried about how uniform the weathering will be between them.

If you give them different weapons and poses,no one cares about the weathering

I ordered two as well, but the weathering would definitely be too uniform for my taste, as HT generally is quite consistent in their paint apps. My plan is to re-weather one of them.

 

[Felinx]

Hmm, one or two? The redo of the backpack and unique pauldron says maybe 2.

Not a huge fan of the helmet but HT sandtroopers don't come along very often and once they do, they "move along" pretty quickly from the bargain category to the $$$ category.

Also so happy there will be some more sandie parts available at affordable prices for a little while. That hasn't been the case in some time (and yes I bought a lot of the stormie parts when that out-of-the-blue OT grouping came up at TA a couple of days ago.)

 

[ScoutingForToys]

Well I've got mine ordered. With the dewback, this is a pricey set.

 

[jkno]

I just helped a friend get a Dewback and Sandtrooper combo as well. So there will be at least 2 Dewbies in my country.

Oops I missed Revan, Starkiller and Ladypool!!!
But they did get in Threepio for those that have preordered
