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

I'm ok with minor defects @Invictus. My Space trooper had small paint bubbles on the helmet and the back on the other shoulder armor, deep scratch on the butt armor and stitching issues on the crotch area. which is passable but this is one really bothers me a lot personally. it sticks out.

Mine's out for delivery! Looking forward to getting this.... I still remember gawking at the proto at Celebration with a group of freaks.

Guessing you're gonna be pleased then, FLOSI! Just opened mine and while it has some minor flaws/scuffs (be careful of two tiny square pieces glued on the jetpack cannisters, btw, one of mine came off right out of the pack and needs a re-glue), it is an amazing figure. Love the basic Stormtrooper design but the jetpack and heavy rifle put this over the top. Glad I went through the trouble of securing a second. Details on this piece are a joy to behold.

Did you buy direct from SSC, chobits? Can definitely understand wanting a return in that circumstance.

Yes I'd like to do all hottoys purchase from them. Even if it's really tempting to get stuff early on eBay. Reward points got me hooked.

Send that straight back for a replacement

 

[Hoody999]

Yeah. Looks like they put in a piece of sandtrooper armour !

IS, be careful not to glue the swing-open hatches -- those are thrusters or vents!

 

[Invictus Sol]

Damn, I swore those hatches were on the white canister and not the grey, but going back through the posts, I see UsedUniverse commented on it and revealed that they're swing out vents (which I replied to and thanked him for -- totally misremembered the location, though)! Will have to pull it out again and see how those are supposed to work b/c mine came right off.

 

[FLOSI]

I dig it.

And yes, watch the little gray hatches. I have one to glue back in.

The Hot Toys Spacetrooper arrived - awesome figure:

 

[FLOSI]

For those fixing their little exhaust hatches, I'd suggest using some tweezers to pull out the internal thruster part, applying a dab of glue with a toothpick to the end of that then laying the hatch door on top. You might risk gluing the whole thing shut otherwise.

And Aliaz, yep, I would guess the gun will be near impossible to get on its own. I once offered $80 US for anyone that would sell IG-88's vibro-ax a-la-carte and couldn't get any takers.

Yeah I don't have high hopes. But I can't get this right now so dreaming about the gun is as close as I get right now.

Got my second spacetrooper from the popcultcha sale. These look fantastic as a pair.

Damn you! You are tempting me!!!

mines on the truck...been there for 36 hours.

Yeah, have to admit it was painful to me to keep both orders for this guy since it's so close to the Stormtrooper two-pack (and I'm kinda worried about overdoing it with the troops) but they look so cool in two's. The heavy rifle detail and design is just beautiful.

 

[K1NG J0RDAN]

Man, I want this. I have the perfect place for him on my front right speaker. The Sandtrooper is on the front left speaker next to the original trilogy detolf.

 

[Invictus Sol]

I was just thinking how nicely this contrasts with the Sandtrooper b/c of the heavy rifles, differing backpacks plus clean/scruffy armour. Really looking forward myself to seeing them both on display. Getttt itttt, J0RDAN!

 

[K1NG J0RDAN]

I think I might! You're absolutely right, they will look awesome together. More than anything, I'm just glad I didn't bite on another regular trooper. I think this is a better choice. Variety
