1/6 Hot Toys Sith Trooper – Early Release Edition

[chemicals]

Exactly. I've muted my defense of TLJ lately because I've been relentlessly attacked for my positions in the past and have been called everything from an "SJW" to a "beta male." I feel like I've said my piece and don't need to substantively engage further. I just chime in occasionally to show moral support to others. Otherwise, I try to stick to talking about the figures.

Its gotten so ridiculous what people do to someone just for liking a space movie.

It's a damn movie. No 'defending' should be needed. But, we live in the era of the super-fragile. Everything offends everyone! But, yeah, I really dislike TLJ, but mostly due to Luke, and their handling of him. I initally dug it, but as the time as gone one, it hasn't sat well with me.

Tell that to the people who make 8 hour videos bashing a movie and harassing anyone who likes it

You might have noticed me saying, "It's definitely red." That was me saying exactly what you just said.

Having said that, though, it's definitely in line with the cleanness of the Praetorians, or even the iTroopers from TFA. The First Order is comprised of a bunch of tyrannical, thin-skinned, controlling ****s. It's easy to imagine their leadership/middle management being the sort that would find "weathering" unacceptable.

Pics...

Wonderful photos.

I am pleased for those who want this, as it looks impressive.

And here I thought it was because you fell off your preachy soapbox.

And there, you just proved the point. Lol

 

[slikkerias]

The figure looks quite amazing to be honest... I can no longer guarantee that I’m not getting it.

 

[IndyMOS]

Wow, absolutely awesome photos Rook! Great poses too. Looks like a great figure and definitely looks cool with Kylo and Phasma.

The prices people are commanding for this on eBay are insane. Hopefully Sideshow will let the people not at the Con take a crack at ordering this thing.

 

[CrankbaitJon]

Getting this for sure but probably not the early release edition. No other Imperial troopers at SDCC..... wth?

 

[ObiGlennKenobi]

Awesome pics AND video review Rook!!
I love your posing videos a lot!
So kudos!!

This should've been the original FO Trooper design. What a difference the angular lines on the helmet make. No longer looks like a Duck Trooper.

A red Stormtrooper is very cool, but I could care less about anything attached to the Disney ST trilogy. At most I'd maybe pick up a 6" Hasbro BS figure since I have all the troopers represented in that scale.

And the fact they are called Sith Troopers make absolutely no sense. Especially if they are attached to the FO. We have been told many times that neither Snoke nor Kylo were Sith or had anything to do with the Sith. So why in the world would they be called "Sith Troopers"?? Unless of course they are with Palpy.. Then they are not part of FO and should look totally different.. Whatever..

TROS is trying to give and play to so much fan service it is disgusting. The complete opposite of ass wipes "subverting expectations" and "we don't need to cater to the fans". Now Disney realizes what a mistake they made and JJ is like, "Let's give em Lando since so many fans were upset he wasn't in TLJ. And even better since ******* killed off Snoke, lets bring back good ole Palps!! The fans will eat that **** up!!!. REDEMPTION!!!". Ummm.. No thanks.

Admittance on Disney's part as to how much RJ truly ruined TLJ. So many missed opportunities and bad story point that can never be fixed or make the ST palatable for me... I get annoyed even thinking about it..

But congrats to those longing for a Red Stormtrooper..

TFA: Nah. Very similar to OT. Nothing's new.
TLJ: This is not SW. Nothing resembles OT.

This is SW fanbase as I understand.

Right. World is black and white. Everybody knows that.

My understanding is that they only made 200 exclusive versions of this figure. I think the regular edition will have different packaging. I'm hoping they release a deluxe with more accessories.

 

[sithocan]

Love the texture and look. Hate the colour.

I agree.

well if that is the case, I don't mind the different packaging.

Your poses look extremely natural and realistic! [emoji122]

Great pics, Rook. IMO he does actually look really cool there. The helmet and texture is really growing on me. He might be a lot of red, but I'm sure he looks great on a shelf
