1/6 Hot Toys Rogue One: DEATH TROOPER Specialist (Deluxe)

[Khev]

Yep.

TonTon, why'd you sell your DT in the end?

Overall I have tried to stick mostly to OT, and really just like to check out some of these other Star Wars figures if I see a nice deal or if the figure comes out really exceptionally well (like Chirrut), but I just don't have space to keep most of them long term. I was saying in some other thread recently that I only own about 20, but have probably purchased another 20 that came and went at various points.

With my Death Trooper specifically, I actually got a little annoyed with a couple QC issues. The small blaster loop fell apart the first moment I tried to unlatch it. So I bought a replacement belt from Toy Anxiety. Then later I went to remove all the gear to go for the regular trooper look and found that my figures was missing the ab armor. Sideshow's response was to swap out the whole figure so I just decided to sell off the sealed replacement when it came. My only other critique would be that the deluxe base is not great, just in that there's not much room for the legs outside of that one pose. The figure is pretty amazing though and I do prefer the deluxe helmet since it has the range finder.

Like you said I do really think that if Krennic showed up, people would be clamoring for these (possibly even me again). I like pairing up my figures--I currently just have K-2 as my one Rogue One figure, but Jyn is tempting as they look great together and make a natural pair. A couple heroes and a couple villains from the movie would look pretty sweet.

They dropped the ball with the pairings. K2 is nice with Jyn but should have Cassian to accompany him. The Deathtroopers should have Krennic, and they need to put Baze up to pair with Chirrut. Bodhi is kind of the loner of the group. I don't know if it had to do with getting the licensing or the approval for the head sculpts but it's 2 (or 3) more characters, quite essential. Hoping they come out with them late like they did with Nick Fury for the Winter Soldier line.

I received my deluxe Deathtrooper the other day, looks great in person.
There is a small spot where it appears the plastic on the front of the helmet just at the left side brow ridge looks a little rough, not bad enough that I really need to contact for a replacement, but it is driving me nuts!
Anyone else have the same issue?

I have no where to display this so it stays in the box for now. It does make me really want to pick up the first issue Deathtrooper without the range finder though. I've got to keep reminding myself that I'll need that money for so many other figures that I also want....I.......MUST.....RESIST.....!

yes i have same issue, grrhhh

Yup, agreed on all points. People like to pair things up and they dropped the ball. Some of the best pairings would be:

- K-2SO/Cassian
- Jyn/Cassian
- Krennic/Death Trooper
- Baze/Chirrut
- Rook/Two Tubes
- Jyn/Saw
- Saw/Two Tubes

Baze is taken down at the end by and takes down some Death Troopers, so he'd be okay with those guys, but still it's really Chirrut that he needs to go with, those two don't have as many natural pairings as some of the other characters, they're like R2 & 3PO in ANH, almost always side by side. Of course, some people prefer groupings of three or four, and you can get some pretty interesting combinations there.

Vader is an odd one from Rogue One cause he only has scenes with the Fleet Troopers and Krennic. So he doesn't seem to make the cut for some of the pairings for me. He really could have been left out of the movie entirely and just been alluded to at the end ("Vader will take care of the fleet," etc). I like his scene with Krennic (aside from the pun), but the final scene still feels pretty tacked on to me, like it's from another movie or ... director.

- Saw/Two Tubes

This will never happen but I would LOVE it.

 

[FlyAndFight]

Me too! Excellent alien design on Two Tubes.

 

[D.R.37]

Two-tubes

 

[Wor-Gar]

HT would be the greatest company that ever lived if they made Two-Tubes.

Do you hear that HT?

[Hoody999]

Did someone say Two Tubes ?

I'd also definitely get a HT Two Tubes if they did him !!

"Why no HT love for Two Tubes ?". Sounds like a good thread name

JC Hong if you're listening !!! Do it man !!

..Director Krennic must come fist, then your beloved Two Tubes and his gang could show up later

Death Trooper, Stormtrooper and Vader! Ultimate pairing

Yep, they didn't really think it through from a collector's POV, it would seem.

I'd be totally OK with that

 

[D.R.37]

A Krennic/Two-tubes 2 pack would be off the wall but I’d be down with that!

 

[LipSmack]

Two tubes (assuming he is who I think he is) would be nice, but I need Krennic, and Saw G first

He's the one with 2 tubes

Love that design. True SW Looking alien. Surprised no one has attempted a custom.

I've seen a couple of cosplay life-size costumes on RPF, but no 1/6 scale. We thought one of the headsculpters could probably do a headsculpt, but the rest ??

Who has the most connections here ? Wor-Gar ? We should get our s#*t together and get this guy made as a custom.

Someone did say on the "Why no HT love for Krennic, Baze, Cassian" thread I believe that the costume part wouldn't be impossible to make (or something to that effect).
