Hot Toys Star Wars Stormtrooper

[Wor-Gar]

The green lenses were flat and on the stunt helmets. The black ones were bubbled and on the hero ones. These are green but they looked a bit bubbled?

Good. Best of both worlds.

This pose and angle is very Star Wars 1977...

Good height comp here...

Hot damn, these look great.

They are absolutely fantastic. The only minor complaint is the ankle. I know it is for articulation, but the black showing takes a bit away. I still don't care as I am already in for the 2pk and may a single from HK.

Also, thanks for the info today. The adapter is 4.5V and I am going to check local to see if I can get one. I appreciate your help.

Anyone?

I am all but certain it won't. I believe it has been confirmed by Howard Chan.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Anyone?

Not without some modifications.

The parting out has already begun!

That's a beautiful helmet.

I thought these weren't shipping until August via Sideshow? Or are they accounting for sitting on the dock for 6 months into the equation?

That seller wants $80.00 for it, wtf!

 

[canadaclone]

NO...I didn't buy the two packs...I ordered cases of the solo trooper...my online guy gets directly from Hot Toys so it shouldn't be too long...I will have to track down a mouse droid....

HT fixed the rattling armor as expected...

The green lenses were flat and on the stunt helmets. The black ones were bubbled and on the hero ones. These are green but they looked a bit bubbled?

Actually, both stunt and hero lenses were green.

And the HT has mixed hero and stunt details on there, but predominantly look like they went with the hero style.

There's an explanation here, along with lots a details about differences:

Stormtrooper Helmet Comparisons ANH ESB RotJ Hero Stunt

ANH (Stunt)

This is the main Stormtrooper helmet seen in Star Wars - A New Hope. About 50 were made so it's the most common helmet seen on-screen. Since it was the first helmet produced, all the Sandtrooper scenes on Tatooine were Stunt helmets.

...

Eyes: Stunts had flat green "lens" material, a single acrylic sheet covering both eyes on the inside. Flash is present around the eyes, amount differing between helmets.

ANH (Hero)

Only 6 Hero helmets were manufactured for Star Wars- A New Hope and their higher spec had them set as "Close-Up" helmets. They were used in scenes when the Luke and Han characters masquerade as Stormtroopers, plus some other close-up shots on the Death Star and Tantive IV.

...

Eyes: Hero's had single double-bubble thick green acrylic lens

Just got my shipping notice. Probably just the shipping label, but let's start the clock.

Man, these turned out great. This is maybe the most exciting Star Wars release since I got into the hobby 2+ years ago. I'll be waiting a long, long time to see mine in-hand, though. Flex'ed 4 (1 set + 2 singles), so will pay those off slowly but surely, w/o breaking the bank.
