Hot Toys Snowtrooper

[jkno]

I was thinking he'd be in Hoth deployment mode to match the Snowtroopers and Sideshow's driver. Then the cap is a smaller piece to make an exclusive from.

As an international customer personally I prefer no exclusives, except if it is a Hot Toys exclusive, and not available at Sideshow.

Yes, in the ideal world there would be no exclusives - and no extra shipping and 20% VAT.

+ Stormtrooper type Thermal Detonator on belt

I was listing the differences, the Commander uses the same detonator as the regular trooper so it wasn't included.

If they do Veers, they mind as well do their own AT-AT driver, and an AT-AT cockpit for that matter.

Well compared to the regular Snowtrooper, the commander has:

Rigid breather hood
Symmetrical eyes
Silver discs on the "ears"
Rank badge
No backpack
Upside down shoulder pads
Storm trooper forearms
AT-AT Driver gloves
No belt pouches
Kama with a different cut
Different controls on the chest armor
No knee pads
AT-AT Driver boots
DL-44 pistol with holster
Shiny non-weathered armor

That's about it....

The commander has quite different chest armor detailing, including some quite wacky pinstriping.

And it seems like the Empire shopped at the same cold-weather glove shop that the rebellion did (and even bounty hunters such as Dengar...)


And thankfully this was announced now - I just made the holster for this guy but hadn't bought anything else to build him yet.

Thanks for the list of differences Miniature-Art. I could see these figures becoming an enjoyable puzzle - how to combine parts from the two to make an 'ultimate' snow trooper for my shelf.

No problem. It is possible to make a Commander with a regular Snowtrooper and an AT-AT Driver with some sculpting. I did this with a Hasbro 3 3/4" figure:

Last page has some updated pics etc.

Of course with a Sideshow Snowtrooper and AT_AT Driver you can do the same.

Enjoy

Ah, good, looking forward to upgrading.

 

[jkno]

Not sure if it worth customizing when we'll get all three soon

Agreed that it's probably not economically sensible, just that it's feasible.

Anyone think this will go up for PO this week?

I hope so. But if you order it's going to seriously eff up the consistency of your preorders

Haha, I know, it was bound to happen eventually.

 

[afattori]

Still happy with the two Sideshow snow troopers I have. If price is ok may get a 3rd.

 

[Donut5Unleashed]

Will these be coming in a two pack? (commander and a trooper)

 

[ZE_501]

To be fair, we don't actually know what's under that Cold Assault Trooper armour...

I'm a bit confused now. I know HT showed off a Snowtrooper at SDCC, supposedly from Battlefront. Where did this talk of a Snowie Commander come from? Did they show one someplace else or is this just all speculation?

 

[TonTon]

Showed one at Ani-Com last weekend. Even has its own thread now.

The HT Snowtrooper's face shroud seems too yellow compared to the screen used costumes...or is it just the lighting?
