1/6 Hot Toys MMS291 Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope 1/6th scale Spacetrooper

[Centrocal]

Whats the tube that pulls out of the back of the jet pack?

 

[TK0083]

Ordered one. A buddy of mine ordered a second on for me looking forward to the pair

 

[momaw]

As much as I think two would look awesome recreating that scene, at over $300AUD each I don't think I can justify it. Even one is hard but he's so damn cool.

 

[Khev]

Whats the tube that pulls out of the back of the jet pack?

It comes out so they can deposit their Imperial paychecks into those tubes that lead to the bank teller.

They are whatever you want them to be. You are already pretending it to be a jet pack.

 

[momaw]

I thought it was to hold the fireflys so they can see in space.

 

[Spark Extractor]

It's where they keep their "that's no moonshine".

 

[Cixx]

Probably cancel this guy IF he comes out in Q4 cause i'll probably be ordering Chrometroopers and other various EP7 figures. But it all depends.

 

[devilof76]

I'm probably the best thing since Evilface.

You're probably dreaming.

And you have to love the fact that they have advanced magnetics technology that seals their helmet and loose armor in a protective form-fitting envelope yet they still need a plastic hose for air.

What are they supposed to breathe inside the magnetic field?

We all want the Ice Cream Maker guy.

First person plural...

 

[Wor-Gar]

Spacetroopers will go well with Seatroopers in the next movie, and the Skytroopers after that.

What are they supposed to breathe inside the magnetic field?

Whatever is behind that strange compartment on their backs already.

 

[Lejuan]

People will agree, I'm probably the best thing since Evilface.

What's so good about Evilface? It's all I ever hear around this place, Evilface, Evilface, Evilface.

 

[Ultimate Weapon]

What's so good about Evilface? It's all I ever hear around this place, Evilface, Evilface, Evilface.

Zen-like nonchalance.

--------

The beauty of the space trooper is that it fully captures the pure 1977 nature that is the original Star Wars. Ordered.

 

[Invictus Sol]

I know issues with toy spacemen is first world silliness at its highest but still...really Sideshow? REALLY? How many pics on the official product page are you going to post of these guys as a pair (just like they were in the movie) and then you only let us buy one? Come on!

Yep, they do look badass as a pair.

 

[Mike86]

Too bad this figure isn't coming until later in the year. I sort of expected it to be another Shadow Trooper where we'd get it a few months after the pre-order. Ah well I guess.

 

[Lejuan]

Zen-like nonchalance.

I can be just as badass ****ing zen goddamit.

Yep, they do look badass as a pair.

Unfortunately I think every stormtrooper HT bring out will look badass as a pair. Or squad.

 

[devilof76]

I can be just as badass ****ing zen goddamit.

Oh, yeah?

Whatever is behind that strange compartment on their backs already.

Exactly. And to breathe it they need tubes.

Oh, wait...

 

[Lejuan]

Oh, yeah?

Yeah, um no. Probably more lazy than zen.

 

[momaw]

Yeah, um no. Probably more lazy than zen.

I'm impressed. Zen's the bare minimum you can do and still be considered conscious.

 

[Asta]

What's so good about Evilface? It's all I ever hear around this place, Evilface, Evilface, Evilface.

Phew, that was close! I thought you were going to say his name 5 times.

Candyman, Candyman, Candyman, Candyman, Candy...

 

[WWEJedi]

If it were a unique figure Nerds would be burning down the Internet with: "I can't believe they'd make THIS an exclusive, when not everyone can go!" or "I can't believe how stupid they are for making THIS the exclusive when such a small part of the population can go!"

A good exclusive is one that is desirable but not make or break to your collection if you can't get it. Judging by the reaction I'd say they hit the mark just right, given that some are dying to order it and others are okay with just passing on it.

I would bet a lot people who ordered this never heard of a space trooper before this was released. To many characters to make and they are wasting time on this.
