Quite a nice looking figure.
I think they might be holding back on the other characters since there could be things giving away spoilers, so likely they want to hold those back so that they can release a more complete figure once the movie is out.
Distinct characteristics? It has a flamethrower. A Stormtrooper with a flamethrower is a Stormtrooper with a flamethrower. There's no reason for it to be a separate class.They produce a Spacetrooper:
"Hot Toys are just milking the Star Wars cow, no variation and they are just using the same moulds etc etc"
They produce a Flametrooper:
"Why can't they just use a Stormtrooper, why do they have to have distinct characteristics etc etc"
No pleasing some collectors.

Kylo with detachable ears
Im actually surprised they did not include a flame accessory. Really like their boots, much better than standard Storm Troopers
Chewbacca with a detachable arm; Han with a detachable head; Kylo with detachable ears, and Leia with a detachable nose.

The Spacetrooper makes more sense as a class, but since the only difference in the design is a breather thing and a gun, I would say the same thing here - include that **** with a normal Stormtrooper figure.
But please, cry more about my opinion.
Except the link with the German Army is undeniable and the German Army like any other has different classes of soldiers with differing uniforms. They even had a Flame-thrower (Flammenwerfer) Division - the Garde Reserve Pionier Regiment or “Deathshead Pioniers”.
You could just refer to all the soldiers as troopers, but they all had different training, skill sets, purposes and uniforms to boot.
If we look at the OT as WWI German Troopers and Ep VII etc as WWII - we should be Thankful there aren't more variants - as we'd all be flat broke.
WWII for eg.
