Aren?t these Special Edition add-in characters?
No they are part of the original film. One of them is designer now director Joe Johnson

I'm debating on getting a space trooper or a jump trooper. Any thoughts? I would have probably gone for ANH stormtrooper if they were still around for a decent price.
I love my Spacetrooper. Was surprised how long he hung around for. Considering he was an Exclusive figure and never been made before. And I got him when he was discounted form SS with a $25 off coupon and free shipping. So I paid $195 total (no tax back then too..) He was my first HT Stormtrooper as I missed the original ANH version. I even bought a parted out chest piece in hopes to turn him into a regular trooper, if need be, but the hose wasn't removable from his helmet and I could never find a parted out helmet for a cheap enough price I was willing to pay.
The Jumptrooper being from the videogame and not from an actual movie makes him seem a bit out of place. I thought about picking one up way back when at a time that Popcultcha had him pretty cheap way below retail even when buying from Australia. But I ultimately still passed.
And another reason to cringe at the line "They can fly now??" From TROS...
Is the ROTJ not an option?
I would choose Spacetrooper over Jumptrooper unless you're a big Battlefront fan. It's closer to the ANH figure too.
Go for the space trooper, i was fortunate to have purchase one off eBay quite a while ago for $99 US with free shipping.
Seriously? Even Boyega made fun of the dumb line he had to say. The FO rose from the empire. They still had nearly the same tie fighter, the original AT-AT alongside their new bigger and better version, and I'm sure other Imperial stuff still in use. Plus, instead of another measly Death Star 3 space station, they turned a whole planet into the new Death Star. Yet, it was beyond their means to have troops with Jet Packs till TROS? Are you seriously defending that? Whether you've seem them on screen in the previous 2 movies or not, you can't honestly believe a former Stormtrooper would be surprised they now have jetpacks. Something the original Clone Troopers had. FFS... . And on top of that, they need to be launched into the air on a vehicle with treads.
Don't defend bad writing based on how it should be interpreted.
And I still haven't even seen TROS. And don't plan to for quite some time

The revival of this thread made me wanna take a pic
Nice Momaw ! I can remember back in the day thinking, should I get these ? Could I somehow mod them to make a standard trooper.
In the end I found a reasonably priced ANH 2 pack. But little did I know how many troopers they would end up doing.
Still like the ANH over say the Rogue One sunglasses idealised type.

How do these differ from ANH Stormtroopers MMS267? Are they the same except for the backpacks and guns?
Thanks.
Thanks and totally agree. The RI style just doesn't do it for me compared to ANH and even the recent RotJ figs. That original ANH release still makes up the bulk of my stormies and are still the best. Definitely a case where later releases haven't surpassed the original one.
Congrats on the pickup. My two (pics a few posts up) are still front and centre in the collection. I also have a four ANH stormies with the original bad gloves HT ANH Vader set up in a Jazzinc Tantive diorama. My lone (clean) R1 stormie is chilling with 2 RotJ ones. Disguise Han and Luke are in the mix as well. I may also have a sealed 2 pack of ANH stormtroopers in the cupboard too. And that's not even starting on the sideshow sandtroopers, HT sandtrooper, and the R1 Jedha troopers which are all hanging out with a SS Dewback. I'd say I have a problem but then remember Canada Clone and think "nah, it's totally cool and normal to have 20 stormtrooper dollies".View attachment 651642
Saw this on Ebay. Triggered memories, believe it was my first order with Sideshow. Got it, I believe, 20% off (these were shelf warmers like shoretroopers at that time). Retail $219,99. We should be thankful for still having these prices for troopers. Later, we received the ROTJ single w/o backdrop for $187 RETAIL, cracy! Haven’t seen that again. Hope we do! HT, give us $150 Sandtroopers!
How do you all old timers pose your space troopers and ANH troopers?
Edit: here are some of my troopers (old sloppy pictures) View attachment 651643View attachment 651644View attachment 651645
