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

[ShadowX81]

Why do I have a very bad feeling that Stormtroopers are going to be the Iron Man of the Hot Toys Star Wars Line?

Nah, that'll be the Clones when they head into them. Spacetroopers ARE different than Stormies just as much as the Sandtroopers are different. They can do Stormtroopers, Sandtroopers, TIE Fighter pilots, AT-AT Drivers and still use existing molds without getting too deep into what people consider just rehashes (although they did do BH Troopers...)

When they get to Clones they'll hit IM territory. Look at SSC. With so many humanoid Jedi I'm shocked that SSC didn't milk that for all it was worth using the same stuff for the most part other than hands and head difference. We got quite a few but nothing near Clone territory.

Ummm.... okay.

Not sure what else there is to say about this figure. Looks fine, literally just a repack with a few accessories added on. Disappointed it is not a more unique figure.

 

[Wor-Gar]

It's not a Sandtrooper gun. Or better is a mix of two Sandtrooper guns: T-21 for the main structure, RT-97C for the "scopes" on top. Unless someone knows better I don't think this is an existing weapon. The Hasbro one should be a T-21 variation.

Well now, that just makes me want this figure even more now.

Alright lets get this pre-order up!

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.

Agree. It's 8pm in the UK, please don't go up for PO when I'm asleep :-(

These guys just look ready for business.

Bulky and geared up like Sandtroopers but all clean and "Death Starry." I love it.

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.

Just preordered. $219 no nrd but cancellation fees apply. Expected Nov-Jan

Uh humm, that's all true, but the 'plastic hose for air' is actually an emergency redundancy system for air in case the primary fails </pulling answers out of @$$>

 

[Wor-Gar]

ORDERED!

Thank you for the heads up! ORDERED!

 

[Spark Extractor]

I was only going to get one, but it would have been nice to have a limit of 2 instead of 1 for those that want to recreate the scene.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Whoops, what cancel fees?

 

[BatBrain]

About to order but is there an April code?

 

[Khev]

Ordered of course. But damn, exclusively sold through SSC at one per person? That blows.

 

[Shanester]

My order is in. I kinda wish you could order 2, but its not that big of a deal.

 

[Spark Extractor]

I did flex pay, so it must be the normal cancellation fee policy on flex pay.

I was really hoping it would be another 2 pack. Kind of frustrating that it's not.
