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

[Solo_bones]

Can anyone ,that has it in hand, take a side by side photo with the SSC Desert Sands Sandtrooper?

 

[Dr. Nash]

I have the S4 but I can't seem to get shots like that.

I was going to say that maybe it's the SoCal sun but then I realized we're in the same place

The Hot Toys trooper helmet looks so awesome and visually balanced. SS looks thin and out of proportion. So glad i got this guy !

 

[Hoody999]

Could've had a bit more weathering on the HT but still looks great. Perhaps they'll add more dirt to the black pauldron version if it comes out. Orange squad leader shouldn't be cleaning up dewback doodoo and getting dirty so that fits.

Solo_bones, did you make that moisture vaporator?

Yep, scratch built, for the most part.

I'm trying to decide between 2, 3 or 6. I feel as if all 6 may be overkill. No interest in no-pauldron trooper.

Thought you said you needed to scale back the collection for a pending move with the g/f???

Obviously he is planning to move now and then flood the new home with troopers.

Yep, I have done just that; I only have four 1/6 pieces right now, plus one kitbash-in-progress.

I did some absolutely brutal streamlining; when we do move I'll probably just ship everything to myself. It'll be price-y but then, the whole move will be.

The move is projected for June or July at the moment.

You can ship them to me and I'll take care of them for you. [emoji1] [emoji106]

Finally pre-ordered this. In the end it was inevitable, since the orange pauldron Sandie is my favorite trooper look. Will have to turn my marmit custom back into a white pauldron one now.
BTW, awesome pictures from all of you over these past pages.

 

[Aliaz]

I'm going to need two of these. Just emailed my local supplier and he is going to check if he can get one more for me. They have stopped taking pre-orders but maybe I'll get lucky otherwise I'll have to find someplace else.

It looks really good.

 

[Aliaz]

Second one pre-ordered. What have I done! anic

Since I paid for the other one a few months back, my wallet will only suffer a little this time...until they announce the others!

Thanks man. Had a lot of fun building it.....shopped just about everywhere looking for pieces, bits and elements to make it work.

Does anyone know if SS has him in stock for US customers?

Ordered mine on Fri and it looks like it's shipping today.
