Hot Toys - MMS 295 - A New Hope: Sandtrooper 1/6 Scale Collectible Figure

[Hoody999]

OK Matrix you've inspired me. I've looked for this guy from time to time, and as luck would have it I found one just now for $22 !

Which body was that you used exactly ?

Matrix, awesome job The material for his cape looks great and drapes very well. I really like the belt you made too... used and a bit run down
What gloved hands did you use, Praji?s?

Wow, just checked and the prices went up on this guy, in some cases a lot. I thought he was still in the $20-$30 range, shipped?? Nice score, Hoody

Edit: Maul Gloves... slipped right by my eyes

I?d be interested but I don?t know that I?d have the talent to make the custom parts. Matrix if you?d at all consider making extras I?d pay you for doing so.

Still my favorite 1/6 Stormtrooper figure. Something about it looks so real and life like over the regular guys (even though I prefer them). Maybe it's just the quality of the weathering.

Yep totally. My first Hot Toys figure. So totally love him.

I have two now actually. Managed to pick one up cheap from a freak getting out of the game. Still haven't re-coloured his pauldron to black yet.

One of the best trooper designs.

You can borrow my black Sharpie?

Haha yeah. I've been putting it off cause I wanted to do a bit of research into black or white version. But Black would be easiest to colour.

Back when I was doing my Marmit Sandtrooper customs I used the MEPD costume reference library -- they have everything you need if you haven't already found them.

I took a black sharpie to an orange pauldron to get it completely covered, but it will have a slight purple cast to it in certain lighting conditions, so a follow up with some black paint will fix that.

I just used matte black acrylic paint, super easy.

That works too. [emoji2][emoji106]

I?m just lazy and the sharpie did most of the work.

Thing is I can *see* when the paint dries. Don't trust myself not to smear the Sharpie.

Man a couple of years ago when this was going for sub-$200 I kept holding out for one to be found for $150. That ship has sailed a while ago, will have to keep my eyes open if one comes up.

I'm obviously late here...How similar are the RO Stormtrooper Jedha Patrol characters to the OT Sandtroopers? Can they pass for OT, or are they much different?

Thanks

They are totally different. You would be disappointed if you made the attempt to pass them off as the same thing.

...or very happy if you have zero ability to discern details.

 

[Dave_W]

Nobody tell them anything! Once you see the differences they cannot be unseen and that's no way to live.

Very different. Pretty much nothing is shared between the two.
