I think I would rather have an SS and an HT Snowie than have two exactly-the-same HT Snowies.

I know the jetpack version is from a game but there's just something so wrong about it... it would be like having a Tusken Raider with a jetpack.

They all look fantastic though it's a shame HT won't make fabric boots anymore.

The jetpack makes no sense in the movie universe, otherwise everyone would have one, not just Fett. Also it seems like the exhaust jets would torch that cold weather skirt back there. Not to mention that firing a bazooka while airborne probably doesn't work that well, seems like the rocket would pull you forward or blast you back if you were not anchored. As someone else mentioned, not super keen on the bazooka either, don't recall a whole lot of missile weapons other than zero-g torpedoes.

As with all things HT or SSC, not pre-ordering. No need, these will be around forever and maybe even on deals, they had almost all the troopers going up on deals during Spooktacular.

I just wouldn't use those accessories. My main thing is I wonder if the packaging would look different for the MMS vs VMS figure. Plus just not sure if I need two of them since they're the same and price aside there's nothing too enticing about the two pack. I'll probably get just the single figure.

I'm with you on that.

Dunno if its been noted, but this is how you price your figures sideshow. TAKE NOTES!!!

Just going to order the single so I have one, then see if they linger like some other troopers have. Hopefully I can pick up a 2nd one on discount.

After that earlier comparison post, I just thought I'd post a fairer side-by-side with the fully stock, non-modded SSC Snowie (my camera died a few days ago, so these are slightly distorted/squashed iPhone pics.)

HT snowie is a slam-dunk and the helmet's a MASSIVE improvement over the SSC, but at $65 less, I'll be keeping the SSC (and probably cast/swap the HT helmet and use the HT hands) when my HT Snowie two-pack arrives, just to provide some variety to the troops.

The other issue is I will have had this guy on display for over four years by the time the HT snowie arrives, so it's definitely been a great one for the ESB display for a long time.

Been waiting for this one, PO'd.

Love the little untied laces on the HT... but also love the flailing straps on the SS boots.

Maybe you guys debating about a 2nd snowie to go with your SS should just get the HT head.

I always like getting the Smart Rocket power-up in the game, so I'll enjoy displaying it once in a while.

The untied laces are also on the SSC boots. Based on the HT proto so far, I'd say I like the SSC boots better, but HT really delivers on prod figs, so they may end up hitting the weathering out of the park. Currently, the HT boots look a bit too obviously "sculpted plastic" to me.

 

[Lordscum]

Well at least this confirms that the Snowtrooper Commander will be a separate figure.

 

[Wor-Gar]

The untied laces are also on the SSC boots.

I don't see them in your pics -- are they under the straps maybe?

 

[OneSixthFanTex]

Maybe it's just growing up with troopers that were all white for the most part, but these bits of fabric seem a shade too dark for my taste. I see now pics all over the internet that the fabric and boots are actually this beige color with the armor and helmet being white. Just goes to show how much the early toys influenced how we view Star Wars characters. This more movie accurate look will take some getting used to for me, but I imagine I'll get at least one. That beige fabric still bothers me, though. I hope it's a shade lighter in hand - an off-white would be good.

The sculpted untied laces are on the front of the right SSC boot and on the side of the left SSC boot. The iphone pic distortion makes it hard to see.

 

[Creighton]

Im down for the single.
Gotta save for that Death Star Gunner right?

 

[Wor-Gar]

I see them now -- had to go back to my original pictures. They hang a bit unnaturally.

Almost ordered Rey with my Spook points. Glad I hesitated, because I need the ESB Snowtrooper! Compared to Sideshow prices it's a bargain.
