I understand the gist of what you're saying, but that's just the idealized image. Which is perfectly fine, but No, in my perfect Empire, Stormtroopers are human recruits who vary in height. They have names, histories, lives, and an unwavering loyalty to the Empire out of fear, necessity, patriotism, discipline, or a combination thereof.

So I like having Stormtroopers that are different heights. It feels more real to me; gives them character.

Totally agree, I've always thought about stormtroopers this way. :)

I have the female Stormtrooper statue Gentle Giant made & it has much different armour..., allowing for a woman's chest area. ;) Kotobukiya are making a female Stormtrooper next for their Bishoujo figure line, it'll be smaller than 1:6 scale but still makes my want list..., I think that's it for female Stormtroopers though, unless Hasbro have made any.

I am familiar with the Gentle Giant piece. Technically, it's not different because it's a woman, it's different because it's the Star Wars Legacy era Stormtrooper armor which takes place 100 years after RotJ.

The piece is of Jes Gistang, a character that made a brief appearance in the series but was notable as the first named female Stormtrooper in Star Wars fiction.

Legacy era armor has more pronounced pecks, is tighter fitting, and has a different bucket, although the differences are slightly more pronounced and stylized in the Gentle Giant piece.

The Kotobukiya piece also looks to be based on Gistang, though it'll be even further stylized and cheesecake. Hasbro has also made a Gistang, which I actually think is the best one, surprisingly.

I am not overly fond of sexed up female Stormtroopers so I like the Gentle Giant piece. A female Stormtrooper should be indistinguishable from male as fantasy boob armor makes no sense in a combat situation, or in a military.

His HT's trooper taller than SSC's as this pic suggests or is it just distortion/focus?

The Hot Toys Shadowtrooper looks like it needs to be having it's feet fixed more securely for starters but I've seen other pictures that would suggest it's slightly taller. :)
 
Taller would be much better next to vader's ⅕.5 scale. Now I may need to consider getting more than 1.
 
Why is that so hot! I want all four in 1/6.
Abrams knows what we like.

The one furthest on the left is Leeanna Vamp

This is more conservative than I've seen of her Stormtrooper

Damn, that girl. I normally dislike that long hair/shaved head combo, but she manages to pull it off. Nicely done, Mike, King of the Chick Pics! :duff

They also helped erase that pic canadaclone posted. I posted the same one months ago as a gag and I still haven't been the same. (Shudders)
