Hot Toys Snowtrooper

[JCFETT]

So glad they didn't go with a permanently attached jump pack for the snowie battlefront style figure. I'll likely never put the jetpack on him, but for the price you can't deny the two pack makes sense! I wanted two from the start, so this is great.

When it comes to the face masks, according to the photos it looks as if one mask has a specific crinkle in it compared to the other figure, the battlefront version has a more flat service, where the OT has more crinkles, but according to other photos the crinkles kinda vary in some shots. I wonder if the mask is permanently crinked or can you do your own crinking? #crinklife sorry just enjoying the word crinkle. Don't use it much. Nice crinkage bro.

****Correction, going back to the stormy jumptrooper thread, that pack was not permanently attached. It used a magnet. I must have this permanently attached pack confused with another figure. Move along.

The stand might say Battlefront on it on the 2 pack?

Not that I can fully tell, but it doesn't appear so on the product photos. Also, nothing in the official pictures say Battlefront (although we know it comes from that), I doubt they would label the stand that way.

Kinda wish the single's stand had the old ESB logo on it. They do it for other movies, just not Star Wars.

I'm not a blaster expert, but something looks off about those E-11s? Anyone else think so?

The rail does make them look odd.

Sideshow's Snowtrooper had the same rail:

I went through all the screencaps here, and couldn't see any Snowtroopers brandishing E-11s with the rail (nor any DLT-20As).

Going to drive people crazy spending good money only to try a futz the plastic material on his helmet

for the e-11, I think what was already mentioned makes sense, without the hengstler (sp?) counter on the side the rail is more visible, but really we just need for E-11 expert JKNO to come in and tell us what is what


It's nice to get this variation without the counter though, as technically the E-11 had many looks, one of which is without the counter.

I'll be getting one for sure, no brainer. Then I'll be getting just the head and hands to upgrade my Sideshow version, which is fine otherwise. Bring on the Commander and Veers.

Looking at my figures it seems every HT (and probably Sideshow) E-11 has that rail. It just becomes more noticeable on the Snowtrooper because of the missing counter.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

2-pack ordered. :yes

Like someone said before, this is a no brainer. Especially for people who don't have the SS version. My favorite classic trooper from one of my favorite classic scenes, and of course knowing Hot Toys the figure looks awesome.

 

[generalgrevious]

I have two ssc snow troopers might get one more and the commander

 

[TaliBane]

For those with the SSC who are looking to upgrade a few parts from the HT like helmet, I took another pic that's a closer match to the HT pose. This is 100% unmodded SSC snowie.

This is exactly what I will be doing.

One or two? One or two? One or two?

I only need one, but the two pack is good value and has the exclusive DLT-20a. And two will look better than one...

That was how I felt for a minute, but went with both, plus troops are my primary, if I had to cut back to only one thing it would be Star Wars Troopers.

I'm pretty sure it'll end up being two.

I'm seeing double at the moment: two Soldier Story Ghostbusters; two Kaustic Plastik Celts; two Snowtroopers...

Just think how much better a commander will look commanding two snowies rather than one.
