These things are gonna be in stock collecting dust for YEARS to come just like the Ducktroopers.

I swear every time we get a new first order trooper morons enter the thread just to say duck trooper then disappear.

I would assume that Hot Toys learned a hard lesson with the all of the TFA Troopers and will not go down that path again.

I just want the movie (and its figures) to come and go already so that, just as Wor-Gar mentioned, we can get back to the OT figures that were announced but not released yet.

The ST has been one rather brutal speed bump in the Star Wars collectible journey.
 
YES! all those FO Troopers sitting in Sideshows warehouse will finally have some company.

Disney must be twisting HT's arm pretty hard for them to give up production slots for figures that quite clearly will not be big sellers.
I'm sure this is not HT's decision, they did not grow to be the biggest 1/6 company by making peg warmers (which most ST troopers have turned out to be).

Yeah, I checked out PC's sale a few days ago - which only applied to in-stock stuff - and was stunned to see nearly FIFTEEN different ST troopers in stock (various types/two-packs), many from TFA. It was about 1/2 of what they had in stock.

These are great for ST collectors and a few look kinda cool but you wonder how companies would accept new variants when the old ones don't sell.

And yet HT never even offered limited runs on the two troopers from Solo that were previewed at cons. Despite Solo's BO, those would have sold out like the Patrol Troopers did. Even the R1 troopers sold through. It's just these sequel troopers that just sit.

Probably these ST figures are the stipulations regulated in contract between HT and Lucasfilm... " you have the obligation to produce xxx amount of TROS 1/6 figures, as part of the promotion deal to promote the final chapter of the most beloved clown saga bla bla....."
 
With Stormtrooper visors getting narrower visibility must be an even bigger problem than before...
