Did anyone find that the rear pouch gets in the way of the backpack? Took me forever to get that balanced out.

IMPORTANT NOTE: BTW, did anyone also notice that that long black tube with the white radar dish at the bottom is "twistable"...? The tube articulates so you can face the radar dish where you want. Pretty cool extra bonus!!!!

Nice photos, bro. Yes, the pouch is a problem with poseability.

Great shots!

 

[Solo_bones]

Nice!!! This your second one Will??

Yo, Chris! This is my first complete stock HT Sandtrooper...and second HT Sandtrooper figure (I purchased only body, helmet and a single pouch to make a sargeant to go along with my Squad Leader.

Yes. Had the same problem. I really didn't like the way the pack sat with the pouch on, so I left it off entirely.

The detailing on the pack is very nice, but I actually kind of wish they would have come up with a more secure way of attaching it. Maybe wider straps and a sturdier buckle at least. Whenever I would make an adjustment, the straps would loosen and I'd have to start over. Drove me nuts.

Mine arrives today! What's surprising me the most with these pictures is that the figure stands up straight so well without the assistance of the stand. I thought with that backpack he'd want to topple over (the Snowtrooper needs to be hunched over in order not to fall).

The figure and body is very tight, so it can stand in most positions, even with the pack. The armor is attached by fabric and they absolutely did a great job making it tight vs loose, like Sideshow.

I put wax on the bottom of the feet to secure them a bit, not too much but it helps.....especially when I have them standing on something that's not flat, but they can stand very well on their own without it on flat surfaces.

Thanks for the comments on the pictures, one-figure-collector.

This might be an overly specific request, but I am thinking about getting this and if I do I also want to pick up a Biker scout because I have an old Hasbro Speeder bike without a rider he could use. I was thinking about starting a display of specialized troopers with the Sandtrooper and Biker scout on Hasbro bike (and maybe snowtrooper down the line). If anyone has the SS Biker Scout on a Hasbro Bike who also has the Sandtrooper, I'd really like to see a picture of these all together to help me decide if I'd like these all together or not. - Thanks

Thanks for the info on the dish thing, WG!

I had a bit of an issue with that pouch as well. I simply cinched up the pack tighter then off set that pouch slightly to the right. It actually helped support the pack at that point.

Actually the "radar dish" is a 1970's Tupperware pitcher lid.



Hilarious but still cool!

Oh man. Probably the Sandtrooper. But only by a slim margin.

No problem. And yes, that's what I did too finally with that pouch.

That's funny. Good ol' original Star Wars.

My Sandtrooper steps off the troop transport today and will be arriving at my doorstep shortly.

 

[Space Jockey]

Man...my mom had those Tupperware lids when I was a kid. Never knew it was on the Sandtrooper.
I have a new-found respect for Tupperware.
