1/6 Hot Toys - Star Wars: Episode VII - Flametrooper

[blinguskahn]

By the way, just in case anyone is wondering, this FO Trooper is finely articulated! It has that ribbed looking material around the elbows and knees but THATS ALL! I think they just used it for aesthetics purposes since the rest of the under suit is just a plain black pleather. For comparison, anyone who has any of the normal TFA Stormtroopers, it's light years better than that (which isn't really saying much) but is still inferior to the Snowtroopers' articulation. But I have to say that out of all the HT troopers (including OT) the Snowtroopers are the best in terms of articulation (not including the Tie Pilots).

This guy showed up early. Made it through customs in record time. Right out of the box with zero futzing.

Congrats! Looks great!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yes, looks too great. Want, want, want, want, want, want, want......

 

[jedibear]

Stop that! You're going to make me buy this!

 

[K1NG J0RDAN]

I want this too.

It's a shame since I already have 6 figures from the TFA line, and still no Rey or Finn. Idk how wise it would be to order this one.

Mine is out for delivery!

I really like the look of this figure. The flame looks great. Now I need to think about if I want it that badly or not.

Ooooh that's good news on the articulation. I had a feeling this was going to be really hard to pose with the gun in both hands. Excited now!!

Got mine in today. Insanely quick shipping! Shipped just this past Monday so roughly the same time it would take to arrive from SS. Really great figure but it does use the horrible vinyl undersuit that kills articulation.

Great shots...can't get over how cool the flaes looks...

So freaking awesome.

That flame effect is so cool

 

[FullMetalHippie]

Great shot Jay. These troops do look great together.

I really like how they produced the flame effect plug but I can see the little end piece getting lost quite easily.

Have you tried the snowie helmet on the flame trooper? I don't have the Snowtrooper yet but was curious how his bucket looked on the Flametrooper. If you try it could you please post a pic? Thanks in advance.

Excited about the flame effect. I can't wait to get him in hand and start tinkering with an LED set up.

Is anyone going to try rigging up a real 1/6 flamethrower?

I don't usually wander into TFA Trooper threads, but I'm glad I did this time. he looks awesome - great photos from everyone too.

Since I've seen this asked a few times (here and FB) I'll oblige! Fire and Ice. By the way, like the white pauldron on the Snowtrooper?

I disagree. The under suit isn't exactly the same one used on the regular TFA Stormtroopers. The Flametroopers have the ribbed material on the elbows and knees but nowhere else. Granted, these aren't as articulated as the Snowtroopers or OT Stormtroopers, but they aren't nearly as bad In my opinion. Although after years of collecting Star Wars, the SS Clones were easily the best articulated by far.

By the way, does anyone know what those 3 little black "pellets" are supposed to be that are strapped to their right legs?
