Hot Toys Star Wars Stormtrooper

On another note, can anyone confirm how the hands are painted or molded?

I had the SS Stormtrooper EX and the black paint would rub off the finger tips.

I believe the color is in the mold. Doesn't rub off.

The hands are molded in black, the armor plate is a separate piece molded in white.

They look amazing!! Great set up!

Mine have finally moved onto Bethpage, NY so maybe by Monday I'll have mine!

Thanks buddy!

They get to stand guard of this shelf until Lord Vader arrives later in the year. Hopefully Monday IS the day. And they better not have opened yours up like they did mine! Luckily everything arrived mint.

I love that you can take the name plate off the bases and connect them to make a floor. So cool!

Would love to have enough bases to take up a whole shelf. Would look awesome.

Is the armour exactly the same size on both troopers?

Yes it is. A reviewer on YouTube measured the armor.

Thanks!

You might want to be drunk before watching this review. At least make sure you're super relaxed - remember to breath, because I don't think the reviewer does.



Can anyone tell me why the reviewer has an obsession with bending figures where real human bodies are not designed to bend?

He's the only person to this point I've heard that is disappointed by these figures. He also seems to find a way to break or damage something on just about every figure he reviews these days.

He seems to be primarily a Marvel Legends collector, first and foremost. Which explains why he damages every 1/6 figure he touches. I don't need to tell you what's *right* with these troopers and that his expectations (whatever they may be) are a mystery.

He ripped seams on Hot Toys ASM2. I have that figure and haven't damaged it in spite of a number of extreme poses. He's just ham-fisted.

Very cool. Great lighting too.

 

[Aliaz]

Very nice

No disrespect to anyone but how/why do people watch his reviews? I can't even make it past his atrocious intro.

I handcuffed myself to my chair first, leaving the keys in another room. I asked my daughter to only open the door if she heard the video stop or if she heard the chair fall over. it was still a struggle, but I made it. Wish I could say I benefitted from the experience, but I'd be lying.

It seems to me that the video is geared/targeted to an audience that is absolutely not in the market for these products. The IGN crowd of 8-20 year olds. The same people that spend hours watching someone else play Minecraft.

When he compared the HT Stormie to the Black series figures, there was a big difference in the white color?

I always recalled them white as snow like the BS and not off-white like the HT. Correct me if Im wrong.

His reviews often have tight editing, so no dead space to fast forward through; plus he hits (hard) all of a figure's articulation points and gives scale comparisons. SO they're useful although I can do without the potty humour.

The HT troopers are pretty bright white in most lighting conditions. There's a slight off-white or milky tint to them, but I believe that's accurate compared to the hard Titanium-White look of the BS6" plastic.

How are these in hand already? Last time I checked, SS said estimated arrival was March - April.

Looking to pick up two singles to have identical troopers without the height disparity. I dont care about the heavy blaster or mouse droid. Short on funds atm. Hoping these guys last a short bit if they are out.

Thanks.

They have already released in Hong Kong. You can order them on eBay and have them now.
