1/6 Hot Toys - MMS494 - Solo: A Star Wars Story Patrol Trooper

[RebelSpy007]

I like the space cop vibe too. This would look great displayed next to a shoretrooper. Regarding screen time, don't forget Kenner churned out loads of blink and you'll miss it characters, albeit at 2 bucks vs 200 bucks!

Here's hoping some video reviews pop up soon. Very curious how the weathering came out in production.

This guy seems to be selling out quickly everywhere (in Europe at least). It seems those who said he's the new Shoretrooper were correct.

 

[Dstrbdmedic167]

I wasn't really planning on getting this guy but now looking at him I gotta have him. Considering trying to get him from someone in HK even though I have never done that. Can still PO him though. Maybe do both and get 2. I 100% think he is the next Shoretrooper.

Meh would describe the Mimban Troopers. I don’t even know how to describe this guy’s split second in the movie

As a kid, Bossk was one of my favourite figures. I also really liked the Cloud Car Pilot too. Even if they didn't have lots of screen time, you could imagine what other adventures they might have had.

Jar Jar, Rose, L3-37 and Holdo had loads of screentime, and I wouldn't want them in my collection.

 

[user 67922]

Would love a Jar Jar!

I, for one, have been a total hypocrite, caved in, and done a complete 180 on this. Ordered before they’re all gone.

How is the articulation in hand??

Hadn't been paying attention to this figure, but it's a damn nice trooper.

 

[abake]

True, however I did think they were following the 12 back line to an extent for a while there.

I just want the Tusken Raider.....

Beautiful! Such great memories...
It was just such a novelty, to see such great toys from your favorite movie. It just didn't happen back then.
I was living in Brazil at the time, and the dad of a friend of mine got him the figure in the U.S. I just couldn't believe my eyes! It was only a year later (Christmas '79) that I finally got my own, in Bolivia of all places...

Out of that line up, I'm only missing the Jawas and the Death Star Trooper... I'm actually quite content with Sideshow's Tusken, Threepio and R2.

Awesome story. I remember not really having enough money for many of them at all, plus we lived in rural Australia so getting to a shop where you could actually buy them was also a 3 hour drive away. My friend had a few and I was always jealous.

I often wonder if that is why I am so into collecting these high end versions now, catching up with the past perhaps now that money isn't as big a problem as when I was a kid ??

I started collecting after the Sideshow Tusken was released, so he's hard to come by for a decent price. So I'm still holding out for one somewhere along the line. Either HT or one perhaps online. Him and the DS Trooper are really all I need.

 

[davejames]

Ha yeah, I think I'm definitely making up now for all those cool He-Man and Transformers toys I wasn't able to have as a kid.

 

[Smudger9]

Hopefully it sells through quickly along with the mudtrooper.... then we might get the Mimban Stormtrooper.

It would be a crime if we got a porcelain and gold stormtrooper but not one that was actually in a movie!

 

[sithocan]

Don't forget Punk Spider-Man. Though it's not SW, it took workhours of HT which could have been spent for another figüre.

 

[Smash]

Speaking of - it's too bad they used such a buff body for the PS4 Spider-Man. Could've been a great figure otherwise.

Hoping to see a vid of this guy, might pick him up just for the design. Bummed they got an embarrassing 15 seconds in the movie and he runs into something with his speeder lol. Wonder if we'll see more of them in any media.

Agreed on both points. Suppose theres always a chance these guys pop up in the cassian show or possibly the mandalorian. They seem to be keen on reusing rogue one armor for these new films/show so suppose it's possible the patrol trooper suit is still kicking around.

At the pace these two appear to be selling it seems like good news for those that want HT to release that Mimban Stormie and Range Trooper. Then again look how well the Rogue One troopers sold and they didn't bother releasing the Tank Driver.

 

[user 67922]

Any in hand pics or videos yet?

 

[Bo Shrek]

I was hoping the same....

 

[user 67922]

I was hoping the same....

Strange isn’t it? Usually a few days after release someone would have pics. Then the inevitable Justin’s Collectibles video review would swiftly follow.

 

[Darkseed]

It's selling $250+ days after release overseas.....it doesn't appear to be highly sought after figure. Compare their price to Aqua dude or any Avenger released weeks ago.....should be shelf warmers

Check the sold pieces. Timcent has sold like 14, sorry 15 of these in days. They are burning through the inventory. Also, check the normal haunts in the states as there are very few e-trailers that ordered many, as most only have a small amount left. I cleaned out two places already grabbing them up.
