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

[clutch]

I'd like to give a big F you to Hot Toys for not making the backpack removable. Would have been so simple to do. I finally got around to working on mine and it fought me every step of the way. In the end, I'd advise people against converting this unless you are a glutton for punishment.

I'm guessing that was their intent

I'll second that! I'll probably always have him posed as a Spacetrooper, but as my only HT trooper it would have been nice to have the option and it probably wouldn't have cost them anything more to do it this way. Also given his release after the single and 2 pack wouldn't have cost them any sales.

I'm guessing that was their intent

Is the armor on the left leg knee on the spacetrooper the same as the regular trooper? I thought they have different designs?

They are both using the classic Stormtrooper armor. The differences appear on the Sandtroopers

Hero helmets seen on Luke, Han and some Stormtrooper close-ups had bubble lenses; stunt helmets (most of them including Sandtroopers) had flat green-tinted gels.

Thanks, ZE. That's the impression I was under. Somehow I figured the regular HT stormtroopers had them since the helmets are more "hero" style but they definitely look flat in comparison to the Spacetrooper and Luke helmets.

Mine arrived a couple weeks ago. Very pleased with the figure; although mine arrived with one of the propulsion pack thrusters broken off I was able to easily reattach it without any glue.

I am actually kinda happy its in place....looks straight and not a pain in the ***, unlike the Sandtrooper backpack *which I ended up super gluing*

 

[kl241]

Lol. It's a "Spacetrooper" not a "Stormtrooper."

 

[Invictus Sol]

Yeah, I agree. I was hoping it was permanently attached and wouldn't be a PITA to keep on. HT doesn't owe anyone a 2-for-1 figure and would actually be stupid to do so.

Glad I bought this. Now bring on the Snowtrooper Hot Toys.

That display looks fantastic.

Damn, I gotta get me that blaster - no-one's parting it out and the 1/6 store's that are sell out straightaway Dagnabbit!

Finally got this guy this morning. Gorgeous figure, but right out of the box the little clear caps on the rifle scopes were unglued, just loose in the package.

Thanks for the code, I already ordered mine but really wanted to do the Death Star scene and was gutted that you could only order one. The mother in law has kindly set up an account to buy me one for my birthday. Very happy

With the $25 off coupon, I'm seriously tempted to get this. The general consensus I get is that it's a sold figure. Are there any serious problems any one has had with this trooper?
