1/6 Sideshow Snowtrooper 2012

[MidnightClad]

ROTJ stormies have different helmet, different armor and different blasters too.

Though I'm still waiting for the Snowtrooper before anymore Stormies.

I agree with you I would love to see a snowtrooper first but stormies don't hurt.

I know there are the Space Stormies in ANH and the ROTJ Stormies have got a difference helmet.

As for TESB, aren't they identical to the ones in ANH?

The stormtroopers from each film are all different. All have different E-11's, helmet markings, hand plates etc I REALLY want a Snowtrooper PF more than any other trooper though. Have just bought the Art FX one to make do until/if a Snowie is announced

The Kotobukiya Art FX Snowtrooper is a really cool statue, very underrated.

 

[Coheteboy]

i prefer the commander helmet. Never was a fan of the wrinkly hoods.

Then the armor is different...

 

[kaponokeona]

I don't think that we will get a commander version first.

 

[mortifactor]

Is the difference between commander and grunt armour just the fact 1 of them has their shoulderpads on the wrong way round?

Also I doubt in the SW universe there's a reason why commander has a higher quality looking helmet than the grunts, that would inhibit movement. Its probably just meant to be the same material, but the commander hasn't got his wrinkled yet in battle.

With that in mind i'm thinking we will get a generalised, sanitized version, much like how they beautified the stormtrooper helmet into a symmetrical computer designed looking version (makes me feel like i'm on a computer game when I look at my sandy!)

 

[TheGent]

Nope, commander and trooper have many armour differences - too much to name them here.
Believe me, I grabbed through all the archives of pictures.

Always worth a look is replicaforum ...

Nevertheless I do hope there will be a Snowtrooper soon. But I doubt.

They better have the Snowtrooper on display at SDCC.

 

[Glennfett]

they better have Bossk too!!
and TPM Obi

I said the same thing in the Bossk thread.

 

[kaponokeona]

So seeing as how SS says that this will be the year of Hoth, this is how I think it will go down.

- Snowtrooper
- Luke in Hoth gear
- Taun Taun

 

[Invictus Sol]

The Snowtrooper and TaunTaun seem almost certain, but difficult to see a Luke being announced before HT's Bespin version is even shipping out in August (assuming it would be announced at SDCC). Think the chance of that is very slim.

 

[devilof76]

I don't recall that any of the news regarding the Hot Toys collaboration involved Sideshow not doing human sculpts any more.

 

[devilof76]

Assumptions grow legs like starfish.

Have you seen the G.I.Joe sculpts lately?

 

[King Darkness]

Chocolate starfish?

 

[devilof76]

Exactly. That was how they made it big. Until people stopped assuming they were good and actually listened.

 

[King Darkness]

I'm not ashamed to admit, I have no clue what you are talking about.

 

[devilof76]

That is why you are King.
