I have all the SSC Stormtroopers too.
There's nothing the HT versions have that justifies this price.
A body with blah blah points of articulation?
Because the Stormtroopers in the OT were dynamic posing all around?
LOL!
Same price as a Spacetrooper.....? That's pretty excellent, actually. Figured this would get a $30 bump, min. Gonna order via BBTS....****ing tired of these NRD
Need to update thread title with : PRODUCT CODE: MMS295
So we know that code ain't for Luke or Leia.
Maybe HT is waiting for MMS300

Yeah, looks fantastic. Are they gonna do the backpack straps only or magnet like SSC? That was a pretty cool way to do it on their ultimate version

Wow was not expecting that price tag....pretty fair compared to some of their latest releases. Anyone know a store that has it for less than SSC?
Hot Toys Sandtrooper
^^After a coupon, so in August maybe, this will be $199 from Sideshow, plus $10 back in rewards.

Too bad I missed the Dewback, I might have wanted to pic up more of these.

Weird that Sandtrooper has an NRD and Spacetrooper doesn't. I'd think more people would want the Sand over the Space and they would sell like way more of those (thus negating the need for Hot Toys to wonder about how many to make, etc).
Anyway, SSC's site was jacked up on ordering these earlier, so I just went BBTS route.

I'll get at least one but will wait for it to be coupon eligible due to the NRD.

Yep, regardless of the NRD, one may as well wait for an incentive before ordering given the run sizes. Despite having ruled it out, it's a very tempting figure. Funny to me how cool Storm and Sandtroopers look just standing around not doing much. 
Love that HT included the droid but have to join the chorus in that it does look like it was designed in a different time and doesn't really add anything to the Sandie.

Just got home and saw the announcement. ORDERED! I LOVE THE SANDIES!
If HT does a Dewback, would they go more articulated figure route? Not sure I'd get one of this big lizards, but I can see it being done awesomely by them

Will buy this as soon as its coupon/code eligible. Have all the SSC ones already so no rush.
That silly flying buzz-droid will remain forever in the box.... ruins any classic Star Wars display.
Besides that, its horribly underscale.
I don't know what's up with HT and these droid extras. Vader's interrogation droid is closest to correct but still small, the Sandtrooper droid is way too small and the mouse droid is also a little underscale.

Personally I think articulation would ruin the Dewback. HT would probably cover it in rubber and then just like ED-209 or Gamorra it would crack or be ripped to pieces. The only thing that could be improved on SSC's is maybe the paint and some small details with the accessories. Really I think what they did is about perfect. If I ever get the free space I'd pick one up in an instant.
Hmmm, knew the interrogation droid was too small (mouse looks about right to me) but interesting about the buzz droid. Like you say, though, it's no loss... There's just nothing about the design that screams Star Wars. I can live with the interrogation droid because it's just such a great design and I can't say I ever expected to see it in 1:6 at all.
