Just opened my set from Hong Kong! Got them from "TimCent", who I highly recommend. The weathering looks great, and extremely subtle on the one trooper. Backpack and pauldrons look fantastic!

I placed this set on pre-order just this evening.
It would have been great if they offered the same "black floor" bases for each figure and included the option to switch out with the sand top. That way both could be displayed in the same sceneries/locations. It's either/or the way it is now.

Wow, they finally filled in that little hole on the sand base.

Here's a comparison between the Rogue One Stormie and the Jumptrooper I have (Which I'm assuming is the same as the other ANH variants). Apologies in advance for the shoddy phone camera quality and the fact that the two figures alternate sides from picture to picture hahaha:

The articulation in the elbows is slightly inferior than the ANH/jump trooper, you can't get the forearms much higher than this.
And then you can see the leg articulation is hindered by the fat suit and the belt (because that's glued down). The fatsuit puts heaps of stress on poses.
It's obviously closer to the ANH trooper than First Order in terms of articulation (I'm assuming the Jumptrooper is nothing more than a paint variant), but it's a slight shame that it's as stiff as it is.

Wow - that chest went from a D cup to an A cup.
And from a tube top to a crop top.
Plus cankles and the flat face.
Vader must've ditched these guys and selected a company of upgraded armour troopers for the assault on the Tantive IV.

The Rogue One trooper is a great updated design.

People keep remarking that the face-plate on the new helmet is 'flat'. The muzzles and jowls on stormtrooper helmets in toys tend to be exaggerated, IMO. I feel the 'flatness' on the RO helmets is actually more accurate.

At most angles its perfectly fine, but there's just a couple of angles where it feels "off". I think the biggest issue is that the eyes aren't mean or scary enough.

Got mine today, and for a decent price ( £197 ) delivered. I really like him.
I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before but I've noticed some strange markings on his bicep amour ( pictured ) It's on both arms. I'm not sure why they are there, maybe it's on the actual 1.1 armour? Is someone able to expand?

Interesting. I didn't notice until now, but I have the same markings on my Jedha Patrol Stormtrooper.

I believe this detail is on the full size suit.
The thigh armor is so drastically shorter. I wonder if the full size RO vs OT armor is that different side by side.
Yeah, the "tween stormie" eyes definitely don't have as much menace. Though the full size RO helmets' eyes aren't as soft/rounded looking as the HT sculpt suggests. HT didn't quite match the full size RO helmet to me - I'd argue the helmets in RO don't look as different to OT helmets as HT sculpted.
Kind of an odd choice to replicate it. I mean the thumb print on the OT suits is something that has been discussed on forums for years. replicating that says HT did their homework and then some - major street cred from hardcore fans.
But replicating the hook shapes on the RO suit - that no one to my knowledge has ever even noticed - is a bit odd, but I guess sort of cool in a way. Just showing they know the suit realy well.

Given the new design a lot of thought. I love the OT armour and always will, but the changes they made for Rogue One go further in selling these guys as armoured grunts that can actually fight. The breastplate is narrower to accomodate weapon-handling, the lenses are maybe a bit more plausible for better vision, the leg armour allows greater mobility...the design is growing on me.
As Talibane mentioned, Hot Toys initially looked *twice removed* from the source material (I think we actually discussed this well before the film came out) -- because the re-design was different enough from the OT, and then their sculpt was just a touch softer than what we saw in RO trailers and stills.
Having seen the film twice, I can separate the variances in my head and so far, the HT Rogue One sculpt looks more accurate to that film, than the ANH sculpt does to its respective movie. When properly futzed, I don't see the RO figures looking overly awkward.
I like 'em both, so far...

Yeah, I posted earlier I was pleasantly surprised by how the new helmet design looked onscreen in RO, based on what we had seen of the HT RO sculpts. The below pic is taken from the scene where (to me) the new RO stormie helmets look best, and while you can see the differences, I think it matches the "vibe" of the OT helmet - which I can't say I ever felt with the TFA helmets.
I can't say I like the RO armor as much though. The bodies to me still looked oddly proportioned onscreen just as we've discussed before re: the HT figure, and I did find myself noticing the armor time and again as looking odd. The simple fact too is that these new RO armors - supposedly designed for better mobility - didn't seem to make the stromies capable of much more than the OT stormies were.
Though it is hard to say because RO was the singularly WORST treatment of stormies as thoroughly useless "armored" soldiers - even worse than Ewok arrows. They were in essence dummies that waited to be shot or clubbed to death with a little baton wielded by a small-framed woman, or a stick wielded by a blind man. This was one element that at times took me out of the narrative it was so utterly ridiculous.
