Hot Toys Rogue One Shoretrooper MMS389

[Waste Time Continuum]

Well, they are soldiers, and the Empire is busy. Depending on the action they see, I don't think the armor stays pristine on all Troopers for very long.

And it's just the ranting of a deranged SW fan, not official canon. [emoji23]

As far as I'm concerned these are actually Scout Troopers. I definitely think this Trooper is a Scout precursor. The armor is clearly older and yellowed, and there's a lot of color on them, indicating to me that they were standard issue after the Clone Wars ended. Once they retired the design it was replaced with the Scout Trooper design we are familiar with.

I also consider the Stormtrooper armor from Rogue One to be an older design, replaced by the armor design in the OT. Though subtle, if you look carefully the Stormtrooper armor has a ton of differences in R1 from the traditional Trooper armor in the OT.

Actually in the first Jedha sequence in Rogue One, when Bodhi (the pilot) is being taken to Saws rebels, you can see one of them wearing a Scout Trooper helmet painted black, so the Shore Trooper is not a predecessor to the Scouts.

I saw that. Maybe he recently killed a Scout wearing the new gear, stole the nice new helmet, and personalized it.

I'm not trying to evangelize, I'm just tossing my opinion out there. You can take it or leave it. Whatever you believe is totally valid. [emoji4]

He's here!

 

[Chakaman]

Just got him. Fantastic figure!

 

[Darth Snoopy]

Mine was delivered earlier. I can't wait to get home and open him up!

TonTon. ..from the setting, the lighting to the posing...just fantastic shots! Tuesday can't get here fast enough. ...it looks great.

Damn. Thanks, jedibear! Big compliment coming from you. Would have been cool to have him in the brush a bit but we have tons of poison ivy. Didn't want him to get a rash.

Nice ones TonTon! This trooper looks great outdoors.[/IMG]

Thanks, Indy! Nice to see other folks willing to send their troops outdoors on patrol. I wasn't planning to get this guy initially but I saw a deal and jumped on it. He's pretty awesome. A lot of fun to pose and he fits in so well with the OT troopers--Rogue One did an outstanding job of this, IMO.

I realized after shooting these that the strap for the pouch can be adjusted a bit if needed (wide-legged poses, etc)--it's attached with velcro to the underside of the kilt.

Had some nicer weather today for some outdoor shots.

Really love these pics Ton Ton. I'm holding out for the version with the Kilt/skirt thing (Hama ??). Am starting to get a bit anxious actually. Rogue One news is pretty scarce these days....

 

[Mr.Tanker]

Got him this afternoon, and I really love this guy. I wasn't planning on picking up the captain, but having the regular trooper in hand and seeing how he turned out, I think I may have to now.

 

[Yodacappy]

Got mine today as well, outstanding job!

 

[Enzo]

I cant get enough of troopers. This one is pretty spectacular. The weathering is just impeccable.

Actually, this one's the Captain. Squad Leader and private remain to be POed.

This trooper showed up here today...a great surprise for a Monday...only managed to snap a couple quick shots at work...



...and wow...the praise this figure is receiving is well deserved. From the excellent images on the packaging to the figure itself...truly great figure.

It's fun to come into a thread a see great shots and read good comments on how well this trooper is being received and the interesting "speculative" remarks on where this armor fits in the different time lines and troopers in the saga. It's one of the brilliant things about "Rogue One" for me...how the designers were able to tweak the look of the basic well-known armor and slide in some unique designs that fit right in with the "classic" troopers. These troopers in particular do have a bit of a "bridge" quality to them...a little clone trooper distinctiveness melded with that "Scout" trooper look from a little further down the line. Really like that about this design.

Really love the variety of troops we've gotten from Rogue One...it'll make a cool display of Imperial strength.

This trooper is really well-rendered...the distressed look to the armor is truly some of the most impressive HT has done yet with their troops. It's really effective and well-applied...really makes this grunt look like he's seen a lot of intense action on the beaches of Scarif...



Keep the great shots coming, everyone...can't wait to get more of this one myself....now I'm ready for that tank driver. Hope HT doesn't shelve it....

Great shots everyone looks amazing.

Quick photo to share... Love this figure!

Wow, guys! Some great pics in here. He looks better and better. I'm so glad I snagged one from PC. I should have mine Friday and be able to join the party.

I promised myself I wouldn't get sucked into Rogue One figures, but this one I had to have. Very glad I ordered it.

I really like this design as well. I like that Scout Trooper vibe it has. And it seems to photograph really well. Maybe it's just how nice the figure turned out.

I hope they don't drop the Tank Commander either. Seeing how good this Shoretrooper is makes me want it more than I used to.

Nice pics everyone!
This is a great desgin indeed (even from a non-RO lover)...and I really love the E-22 rifle: powered up E-11 FTW!
