Han and Luke as Stormtroopers - SDCC '09

[dharper]

I think he's using the Medicom body.

Hey Darth how did you make Luke shorter?

I think he's using the Medicom body.

Yeah that's all.

One of my medi troopers had a bust left shoulder (again), so while I was swapping the body out (Thanks for that CrimsonBob!) I thought I'd pop Luke's head on.

Oh I also fitted a spare pair of Sideshow Trooper hands on, the medis are so small! Just had to wrap the pegs in a bit of tefflon tape first.

The head is just resting on and would fall off if you breathed on it, but I like the scale difference on shelf! Just need to figure a way to swap over luke's belt - the medi one is moulded on...

Well, i filled out the SS return/exchange form due to my Han being painted soo badly....I asked if we could just swap heads, but I seriously doubt it!

Me too. I asked to swap both chest armour pieces and one helmet (big chip out of the back).

Have to wait and see...

You know, I really don't know what the complaints are about these figures. My figures look Fantastic!!! I did NOTHING to these out of the box! I swear!

There we go again with the old bait and switch. They previewed a grinning Han sculpt but that's clearly been changed. Send 'em back.

I have just had a word with the one who painted Han Solo, and he promises to try harder in the future.

Just noticed why does my ANH smuggler Han have blue eyes and Stormie Han have brown? Which is correct?

Hazel is the correct color; under certain light, they can look either way

Harrison Ford has Hazel eyes. Brown with a slight hint of green

That's crazy. I wonder how that happened. I remember a debate when they made the ESB about his eye color.

Now that I've had a chance to look at mine and pose them a little bit, I'm quite fond of them.

Anyone else notice that Sideshow heard the critics' complaints about the dull Stormtrooper armor before they had these made? Nice and shiny, mine are.

Keepers.

 

[Darthrazz]

Hey gang quick question, I measured these figures against the buck and it seems that these bodies are the same height as the short buck. I want to make Han taller, anyone try this or have any body suggestions, the True Type maybe? Will the armor fit properly??

 

[zeiss]

I would imagine the armor will fit. It is quite loose on SSC Stormtroopers after all. If you decide to put the armor on a true type, then be sure to first throw a Han Smuggler or bespin outfit on the body, and take some pictures

Will do!

Somebody did a mod with a TT a while ago and posted it in the Stormies thread. As I recall he said he had to do extensive sanding on the body to make it fit.
Also, I don't think it'll be as tall as the regular buck-bodied Han. TT's are slightly shorter than regular Buck's.

 

[Fives]

here's a stromtrooper mod with a slim tt. looks better imo.

Slightly off topic, but has anyone done a mod to get a buck head onto the armor body? I'm dying to put my ROTS Obi-Wan head on theOb-Wan clone armor body.

I don't know how that would work BUT Paul Carson resculpted the Obi Wan clone armor head into an ROTS head and it looks significantly better than the original ROTS Obi. I don't know if he still offers those but it is worth checking out.

 

[LOPIE]

TT slim bodies are coimg out soon I ordered two. When I get them I'm going to but the ST armor on it that should work.

 

[Matt S]

Anyone get a response from SS on their set going back? Are they shipping the whole thing or pieces that are issues?

I suspect that the only answer will be: all or nothing, but here's hoping
