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

How well does the head move around with the tube attached? Does it swivel in the chin?

Mine was shipped and I should be getting it on Tuesday, maybe I'll share some pics too

I love it! Viewed from the right side he's basically another Stormtrooper... viewed from the left he's a Spacetrooper. Makes me happy I waited for this for my 2nd trooper.

It's definitely a one-of-a-kind OT figure that won't soon be recreated.

Me too! I was chomping at the bit all day waiting for UPS and then when I opened the box and pulled him out...just stunned by the accuracy! This one was worth every penny.

How well does the head move around with the tube attached? Does it swivel in the chin?

The breathing hose is made out of pliable rubber and it moves with the helmet which moves the same way the regular stormtrooper helmets move - just a little less movement to the left (the side the hose is on) but not completely immobile.

Big gun!

Hells yes!

Nice post Kuat of Kuat!

Yes, the head is free to move but is somewhat restricted by the hose. My first picture shows that you can turn the head toward the hose, but any further and you risk distorting the natural position of the hose over time. I haven't tried it yet but I imagine he would have less rotation turning away from the hose.

But the head moves forward and tilts side to side very well so you can get expressive looks that way. I don't see a need to have any stormtrooper looking literally over his shoulder.

mine will be here next week. I haven`t checked to see when it will be here yet but another ot trooper for me as well

 

[Chakaman]

Great pictures WG, Dr. Nash. Spacetrooper looks fantastic.

Nice pictures, love the detail... I was finally all ready to order this guy with Novembers coupon, but now I'm bummed that there won't be one. I just wanted to cover the ridiculous shipping Sideshow has been charging lately... I'll hold out a little longer till next weekend to see if they do anything for Black Friday weekend.

I used the October coupon on this for the same reason, to cover shipping cost. I believe someone in the coupon thread said a code was posted on the 22nd last year, so there is still hope.

I have mine arriving this week. I kind of regret picking this up. I wanted to go all in with the HT SW line but there are just too many now.

OT Stormtroopers are my favourite design ever so hopefully it will be different when it arrives.

I'm in the same boat.....too many, too fast and too costly....decided this will be my only HT SW figure. I got it because I've always wanted a Spacetrooper, even thought of making a custom one, glad I don't have to.

Only one?!!? I didn't know that was possible.

 

[Wor-Gar]

That's true power.

OK....Luke in snowspeeder pilot gear would be an instant pre-order....but that's it.

The self control is unparalleled. Even to be fine with only 2..

When the dust settles I'll have five or six. Three of which will be Stormtroopers/Sandtroopers.

There are four characters not yet even teased that if made, I'd seriously consider (HT ESB Vader, Snowspeeder Luke*, Snowtrooper, R2) but I'm walking away from the rest. Even Han & Chewie.

*Snowspeeder Luke wouldn't be a consideration, that'd be an instant buy.

If my minimalist OCD kicks in hard, I could cut to three and I'd be good. Realistically, not less than that.

decided this will be my only HT SW figure.

A partially framed out of focus character with two seconds of screen time as your single representation of the entire saga. Makes sense.

 

[LoveMinusZero]

I have to agree with the Snowspeeder Luke being an instant buy. Besides that, the Spacetrooper has been my only instant buy for SS or HT.

The Spacetrooper represents Star Wars in a nutshell: colossal scale.
