Hot Toys Star Wars Stormtrooper

[Pixelpiper]

The only exclusive in recent memory that was a must-have was the Vader head that came with Luke Skywalker.

Different strokes, because as much as I think the gun rack is lame, I'd possibly put it to use on display, but that cracked Vader helmet would never come out of the box. Someone might use it in a Dagobah diorama I suppose.

The empty Batman cowl that shipped with Selina Kyle displays nicely with my Batman bunker and armory setup.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

Exclusive items have never interested me.

I just want solid figures, not trinkets.

 

[Mike86]

I decided to pre-order the two pack from BBTS. I want the set but in case I have to cancel I don't want to give Sideshow the nonrefundable deposit and plus I don't think I'd ever use the gun rack.

 

[MyenShi]

The gun rack will too though. I think we all remember the scene where Chewie snarls at the gun rack and it runs away. That's what I'm looking to recreate.

Actually, I believe the gun rack informs Grand Moff Tarkin that they've analyzed the Rebel's attack plans and there's a chance they'll succeed.

Yep.

They should not have cut that scene, two great performances.

does anyone know if the single stormy available for purchase is the tall or short version?

Also is anyone interested in trading a short stormy for a tall stormy?

The single stormie is the taller one. At least that's what I can remember from my reading of the specs some weeks ago.

 

[Invictus Sol]

It's the taller one, for sure. Who would army build with the shorter one, considering the shorter one is the one stopping people from buying the two pack.

Imagine the conversation every time a non-Star Wars fan checks out your collection:

Are those stormtroopers different heights?

Yup.

Why? Weren't they all the same height in the movie?

*Sigh. Nope.

But what about when Leia says, ...

Look, they were all different heights ok?

Oh. OK.

...

Gee, that Vader looks pretty tall, was he really that...

I think you'd better go.

I have a pretty simple remedy for that.

No one that isn't a Star Wars fan is allowed in my house or near my collection.

The funny thing is I have a couple extra DLT-19 rifles but wasn't interested in the exclusive. If some day I'll find an extra weapons rack, and if good deal, I might get it, but no way it's worth ordering directly from SSC with all the taxes and everything for just a rack.

Actually, I think they'll just see them as Han and Luke in Stormtrooper disguise.

I bet the short one is made to fit a Luke head sculpt.

 

[Pixelpiper]

I bet you can't put any HT human heads on those bodies at all and that HT will release a Luke and Han in disguise at some point in the future instead of leaving money on the table.

I agree.... It's all about the cash money!!! They know the fans will buy anything they throw out there.

 

[Invictus Sol]

Yep, Budget Stark already confirmed with the guys at Secret Base that the neck articulation is only compatible with the helmeted sculpt. I'm sure it doesn't hurt that it'll also facilitate a Han/Luke in ST disguise double-dip.

..the 1/4 Boba Fett, and confirmation of a Hulkbuster figure made the decision easier.. almost certainly scaling my three Stormies pre-order back to a single 'tall' one.

 

[Pixelpiper]

Every time I think it would be cool to have 4 or 5 of the new Stormtroopers, I remind myself they're $200 each.



So I'm already going to be biting a hard bullet with the 2-pack. Thankfully HT is also previewing a bunch of stuff I don't like the look of, so it makes it easier to keep the wanted list in check.
