I actually don't see this display as being THAT big. This would easily fit in a box the size of Palpatine Deluxe. So I actually am personally feeling really good about this one going into production. This doesn't have the same feeling as things like the Safe House, Jedi Starfighter, Falcon, or that monstrous N1 that people are still telling me is coming. The console pieces aren't massive and the lights are small and just a couple of pieces. Heck, if we didn't have DX07 already and they showed the weather vane at a con, people would be saying "NO WAY that weather vane is coming out". It just doesn't seem all that intricate and absurd to me.

As for the helmet, I feel like the one that came with Leia and Wicket looks bigger. Either way, this guy's been teased for so long....I probably still won't believe he's coming until I get the shipping notice
 
definitely buying two in a heartbeat, one with console and one without, seeing Death Star trooper has a chance to finally seeing a production light makes me regret not buying a Death Star gunner though...
 
I still don't understand the concept of one or two guys turning knobs and a stadium full of people dancing.
At the risk of taking the bait - :LOL: - I enjoy all kinds of musical genres and performances including DJ and electronic acts. Electronic dance music has fragmented into hundreds of sub-genres, but speaking in broad terms ... there are highly skilled DJs and electronic artists and there are poor or mediocre ones.

The best ones are doing something musical and complex when they turn those knobs, they aren't just 'pushing play' or messing with equalizers.

And being in a huge crowd losing their damn minds to some incredible percussive beat and dancing their ***** off is an experience that does *not* require chemical enhancement to be enjoyed.

I also love classical, opera, traditional rock & roll etc. etc. etc. the list goes on ... most music has something to offer ... although I also have genres I actively dislike or don't resonate with, so I totally get it if those two guys in the stadium don't resonate with you.

Writhing up and down on a bunch of girls with very little on in the heat of Ibiza seems like a dream come true. I think I could do that for hours.

I'll stick with the mosh pit.
Sure, who doesn't enjoy grinding up against unsuspecting women on MDMA in a sweaty crowd- but it just doesn't compete with the thrill of roundhousing a complete stranger for no reason.

People sure are wild when you put enough of us in one spot.

I think we should keep bumping this to the top of the page for another 10 years and maybe then we will get our Death Star trooper.
 
There are too many new elements to this updated reveal for it not to go into production. Not sure that anyone has even noticed yet, but this 2023 figure has an all-new outfit (cut and sew is new, and no shoulder emblems this time) plus new hands. I'd argue the old outfit had much better tailoring, but this is new nonetheless.

Stranger things have happened, but it seems a little odd that HT would make such a major change to this figure and then not release it.
As I said it seems to be a mash up of the ANH and ROTJ versions.
