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

[Unclechopchop]

Weird how we got a patrol trooper before lando. Do hot toys know we all want a lando (ot, of course). If they were smart, they would start with General lando, then work their way backwards. Get us to buy general and skiff, then we would all feel obligated to buy bespin.
Ok, maybe I’m the only sicko who would do that.

People tend to buy multiples of troopers, and troopers overall jus sell better, I would imagine

I'm sure HT anticipated this guy being on screen a little longer. They probably just get the designs and this was the easier Trooper to manufacture over the Range Trooper.

Glad I picked this up. It's a great looking figure!

Nice looking figure! And great weathering!

The word was actually he was cut out and since Hasbro already started sculpting his figure, they had to throw it in the movie for that split second.

But what's Sideshow's ETA for this guy?

Is it weird that I actually think this guy looks cooler than the Death Troopers?

He looks way cooler than the death trooper. Never liked that design

Nope. I prefer this over the death troopers.

Yeah, the weathering is nicely done on this.

I pulled the trigger on this from SSC with rewards and discount code.

The weathering is really good. It wouldn't have looked as interesting if it were a perfect white (or made sense...he's a patrol trooper in the grimy streets of Corelllia.

Looking forward to more shots and reviews - and eventually, the figure!

Oh man, looks awesome. Can't wait to get mine! Hopefully Timewalker is a bit more timely (heh) with their shipping than BBTS. Then again, who isn't?

Can’t believe this trooper from a movie I thought was just okay and who was in it for a second or maybe two and who has those terrible rubber arms is tempting as a purchase. Man that goes to show how great he looks and also how addictive this hobby is.

Maybe they actually wanted to to avoid a Constable Zuvio situation again? That still pisses me off.

Exactly. This was so far off my radar until I saw the production pics. The plastic crack addiction doesn't help.

This is how he looks with some of the other troopers

I HAVE this guy on order at Popcultcha.
Precursor to Biker Scout hopefully..

I was going to order through popcultcha but then I noticed they weren't getting this guy in 'till September. Can't be bothered to wait that long

Perfectly fits aesthetically, in that time period. They did a great job on his design.

This pic is like promoting drugs! How could you, I was clean. This may cause me to fall off the collecting wagon.
