oh yes you did! I actually started making the snowtrooper kits after pair of bargain HT snowies went missing in the post. I knew I would not find them again at a reasonable price and the Sideshow ones are just as pricey so I am right there with you, so obviously I decided to go the DIY route. I just wish more creators would make some more obscure EU stuff. Swamp troopers would be awesome.
We honestly need more EU and just OT. At least from what I have seen it is mostly Clones. Which are my favorite but I want some other stuff.
I got mine from Kamino3Dfacility.
I made Fordo long blasters and holsters. They are free on thingiverse/cults/printables
A little More than double, just sold my Cody so it works out. I refuse to miss out on this amazing figure.
Probably an overcorrection. Hot Toys invested too heavily in Star Wars and Marvel hype, both of which died down considerably with all of the lukewarm theatrical and TV releases we've seen in recent history. Understandably, they want to produce less as they want their collectibles to be sought after and not warming shelves. These limited releases are meant to drum up quick sales to encourage customers to buy now and think later but might end up souring customers to the company overall as the tactics aren't being received favorably by many.
That’s how the phase 2 ARC troopers are suppose to be, Jesse just had a regular helmet.
There was a phase 1.5 helmet (prototype phase 2) that ARC troopers used during the clone wars when standard clones had phase 1 helmets still. Jesse had phase 2 as by that point phase 2 helmets had moved into production and were the norm.
