Which helmeted guard got the lightsaber through the head? I only saw the movie once

The bug zapper one (round dome with the flat face shield). His helmet is included in both versions.

I have to say the pictures look really nice... especially with all the photoshopping and color correcting.

I wonder if the figure in hand looks as good? I remember the red color verging on rose.


Still think the square-hat one looks the best.

Yeah with all the photoshopped movie backgrounds, it's hard to get a good feel for how they'll actually look on display.

Can you post more pic how of the box Nocternus? That guy look lethal!!

The guards look great in the FB pics..but I wonder if the red might tarnish over time

As problematic as the movie was, these guys were a major part of the best scene. If I got one, I'd have to at least get Rey too.

Need Rey first before getting these otherwise these are a waste

I’m actually debating getting two of these guys and getting Rey and Kylo. As much as I disliked the movie, that was a great scene and I enjoy Rey and Kylo most in this new trilogy. Just not sure I want to drop that much coin on a movie I overall wasn’t happy with. But strong is my love of Star Wars so....we’ll see.

Star Wars fans want to spend, spend, spend...



SDCC is only 5-6 weeks away.

you know.. I still think instead of these lobsters, if they had just regular royal guards who dropped their robes and revealed some interesting red combat armor and then ran at rey/kylo that way. These guys look too jacked, not classic by design at all. Too obvious. What I liked about the RGs was that they were so subtle, you didn't know what they were packing under their robes, but they were clearly there to guard so likely would unleash an *** stomping if prompted. I feel like we will never get to experience that now... but hey red lobster amiright.

Someone needs to play the guitar riff from "Rock Lobster" over the Praetorian fight scene.

Full review.

They definitely would have stood out and looked ridiculous in the Emperor's throne room of ROTJ, but here I think they were clearly meant to reflect the gaudier and more extravagant style of Snoke and his own, more alien background. And I thought they fit in with his throne room perfectly.

And their flashy and unique design is also a big part of what makes the big battle scene so visually cool and memorable, I think.

Ugly shelf warmers...

2 of mine should be here next week. Gonna pose some scenes with TFA Kylo.

 

[Darkseed]

They look pretty cool even tho movie was quite pedestrian

Full review.

Looks like they are indeed that faded rose color and not vibrant red. Like someone left them in the sun for too long.

 

[davejames]

They look pretty vibrant to me, and seem to match the same red as on the Visual Guide they have.

I'm not getting any, but TFA Kylo with these guys in action either side of him would look pretty damn cool visually

Infact if the movie was killer and I was fully on board a scene with Kylo and Rey back to back with 5 or 6 of these guys around them would be extremely cool. I wonder if these guys will be going cheap one day ??

But I'll leave that to Canada Clone

Would love to see a pic of Kylo and 2 guards together when you have them in hand Jon.
