Hot Toys Death Star Trooper

[MyenShi]

Howard laughs every time his crew asks if they should display this at a show and he giggles: Yes...

 

[Wor-Gar]

I'm so tired of seeing this figure. I feel like I've already had it on display and have since packed it up and put it in the closet.

The more I look at it, the more it looks like something from 2013.

 

[FlyAndFight]

Still one of the very few must-haves for my SW collection. I'm quickly getting closer to the end. Feels good.

LOVE THIS!!! Tarkin IS coming!!!!

Wor-Gar 2023

I'm so tired of seeing this figure.

Look at what you’ve done, Howard!

Though with the Sandtrooper Sergeant finally up and Hot Toys seeing an opportunity in large plastic display pieces for the Star Wars line, this figure may actually have a shot now more than ever.

I recently threw in the towel, but this one damn figure would be the only thing that would get me to open the wallet one last time.

They know OG collectors might reach that sense of completing "the 12" and having that- circle is now a complete - transcendental moment, and pack it up.
Hence, it will only ever be teased, yet never completed.

NOT complete --

no HT ANH Tusken Raider...

no HT ANH C-3PO...

and regardless of this, there's no HT Death Squad Commander.

There is no Death Squad Commander in the movie either.
They wouldn't just make up character looks and names for the cards, ....would they?

Do you mean Star Destroyer Commander?

A few years ago I would have bought multiple Death Star troopers, probably 4. Now, I’ve lost so much enthusiasm for the hobby that I don’t even know if I want it anymore. Or anything for that matter. The lack of space, cost, the rotj anniversary dud, and rebuying the same figures over and over has definitely turned me off of the hobby. Maybe if we get a few rotj announcements I’ll feel better, but right now, it’s anakin, padme, rotj C3po, rotj Vader and I’m done for the time being.

I feel the same way. I've passed on quite a number of figures (not just Star Wars) lately and I find myself not regretting it. When I have picked figures up, they have been either during a sale (if newer) or at a discount (if older). There are a few licenses/lines that still hold my interest but Star Wars is unfortunately fading fast, especially with all of the newer Disney+ shows. With prices getting beyond ludicris, it only makes things easier.

I still want this DS Trooper, though...

 

[Chainedstream]

Feed me a DS Trooper Hot Toys, feeeeeed my hoarder obsession, I am depending on you!

I would probably get the dst. Who am I kidding? I actually think I may just purge all of my non ot figures. I like them, but I’m just running out of real estate. My main focus now are ot and 66 Batman from mars. I’ll see how I feel once the rest of the aotc figure’s release. It may be a purge or it may ignite my enthusiasm.

I got such a kick out of this when they did the 40th anniversary....good ol' Death Squad Commander...err I mean Star Destroyer Commander...ehhh....I mean Derek Torent

 

[Wor-Gar]

Bloody retcon.

 

[Wor-Gar]

At the time, the original DSC struck me as a cross between the scanning crew flightsuit with the Security Trooper helmet. Didn't they have guys dressed like that operating the DS laser?

Someone's artwork below shows the DSC as "security"...

We will never get this, won't we?

Probably not I was hopping maybe they would announce today on Sideshows Hot Toys showcase but it's probably just the new Ahsoka figures.

Yeah,why should they give us such an iconic trooper,instead,just pump out some golden faced dude,from a show most didn’t even like.
