Thanks Kaut, the link was really informative. I never picked up the differences in the details in the armor itself between the Sandtrooper and Stormtrooper before. Looking at the pictures of the figure on the SS website it looks like Hot Toys paid attention to these differences - so that's cool.
Now, I just wonder how tall he is. Maybe I am remembering wrong, but I thought someone said this, or maybe it was the spacetrooper, was on the short body. Anyway, I hope not.
Thanks, it we would be cool to see side by side pics with the Stormtrooper when people get these in hand.
I haven't picked up any specialized troops before. I only have one Stormtrooper and I am not planning on building any armies or anything. But I am thinking about picking up a Sandtrooper and Biker Scout, and maybe a aftermarket Snowtrooper down the road. I bet the three together might display nicely.
