Hot Toys SOLO Mudtrooper

[D.R.37]

Mine did after only 12hrs. The dents magically disappeared several hours later with the mask removed
If you wanna preserve the sculpt it?s safer to display as pictured on the art box... or mod a stunt sculpt. I tried adding some thin adhesive foam but it eventually gets pushed out of the way and leaves those markings again.
I wanted a Mudtrooper and not Han so don?t really care for the sculpt or will ever display it.

Maybe someone knows where we could get same style foam padding like the one they put in the chin guard. Then we could apply that to the respirator mask to protect the sculpt. I like it with the sculpt on too.

Yeah, not sure I'll ever care for that head on display.

But maybe I found a use for that Screaming Maul head after all.

Didn't the 3 ACI version of the Templar knights come with sculpts that were unpainted?

Would the felt padding from the soldier story helmets work for the respirator or are they too thick?

 

[Wor-Gar]

Padding will do something else -- rub paint, absorb paint over time, something.

Simplest thing is to use another head sculpt entirely.

Use Mr Bean.

I think I’d use some of that thin, tissue like, packing paper before I put any foam in there. Maybe even cut a bit of that soft plastic from the stuff HT uses to put between the figure and the clamshell sometimes.

 

[DakRen]

Will the chin strap also cause stress/damage on the headsculpt? For people who don’t care about Solo’s face why not just sell it and use any cheap head replacement I wonder.

World crazy continues. We all want a cheap knockoff recast to use on our legit Hot Toys figures

 

[Wor-Gar]

Alas... is it over?

 

[CrankbaitJon]

Wonder if the prices keep going up, Hot Toys will release the normal Mud Trooper? Same price as this one for sure if not more.

They didn't release the other Shoretrooper so who knows

 

[dukefett]

I ordered one of those TNS ones for $300 just in case there's any shorting of ordered.

They didn't release two other shoretroopers. There was a total of three versions originally teased.

Is HT really going to do a 4th batch of these? AE hasn't received, TW hasn't received... I mean, come on.

 

[rgswff]

I ordered from BBTS and Popcultcha. I hope I get one between those two orders... Had a great display in mind for two plus a custom mimban but getting worried that won't happen now without spending a fortune on the secondary market to get them.

Did the same thing. I’ve got one preordered at PC but I didn’t want to rely on just that.

 

[DakRen]

My waitlist on timewalkertoys was cancelled today. Now just waiting on TNS to ship hopefully since that was in stock.

 

[TurdFurgusonsHat]

Imminent arrival at Timewalker now so should be shipping soon.

What started the speculation that some retailers might be shorted?

...will be interesting to see if Europe will get its share.

Some retailers were shorted. PopCultcha and at least one other that I can’t be bothered to remember.
