Hot Toys Star Wars Stormtrooper

Someone said that the interrogation droid was made up of two R2 domes, it's nowhere near that size in 1/6 unless the HT Vader is even bigger than we already fear.

Yeah, this pic is the clearest combo to show how they used the R2 domes. But man - that HT interrogation is way undersized, never saw it next to the figure. Maybe that mouse droid is similarly undersized.

My Mouse Droid is packed away, but I seem to recall that they're pretty big...supposed to come up almost to mid-shin height or something?

I said it, because I noticed the props had duplicate markings....had to have been sourced from the same item.....
Therefore the interrogation droid is tiny....hasbro made the same error with their accessory.....they must've assumed the droid in the movie was simply close to the camera and must've only given the illusion of being big

A lot of the pics make it seem like it's next to the Death Star Troopers when in fact it's all the way outside the door of the cell well behind them. Bit of an optical illusion that makes it look small.

Yeah, that's my memory of it. I think the Hasbro mouse droid is closer to true 1/6.

Awesome pics, bran!

Thanks YF. The lighting could be better but I think they came out good

 

[dw316]

Haha, awesome bransen!

Do you think the double pack will ever reach double rewards/free shipping territory? I'm debating whether to use the month's coupon on it or to wait.

Thanks dw! I've been meaning to ask how's the stuntman work going?

It's hard to say, but these guys are a hot seller right now, did you see canadaclone's haul? If I had funds I would probably pick up another 2 pack.

 

[Hydeous]

These looks so awesome

No way, homie. These guys will be hot to the touch until they sell out, methinks.

Great pics, but you NAILED it in these two. Care to describe your photography setup?

Thanks bro, well let's see...

Well I just started photography so a lot of stuff is entry level and my lighting is actually garage stuff

Got a canon t5i and I used a 100mm Macro lens. Used a plain white and black paper backdrops with a home-made soft box behind and to the left of the camera.

The soft box is just made from a cardboard and opaque liner that construction/painters use that I found at Home Depot. And then just stuck a lamp in there an voilà, home-made lamp box for subpar photography

Everything was shot free hand but I've just bought a tripod, an external flash and some actual lighting gear so hopefully that'll help with better pics.

That's EXACTLY what I did at first! Good for you, the pics look great! I suggest longer exposure times, so that more light gets to the sensor. Keep up the good work!

Haha thanks rubio, my girlfriend got me into photography and I'm fairly happy with this side hobby to collecting.

I welcome the criticism too, I always want to hear people's opinions and I want to get better! I just couldn't expose it long enough due to my shaky hands but yeah, invested in a tripod so hopefully my pictures get better

My story is pretty similar to that, too lol!

If you have ANY interest in photography....BUY. A. TRIPOD. The most important accessory you can purchase.

And yeaaaah that's what my girlfriend said too, she couldn't believe I was shooting free hand, almost scolded me

Speaking of photography...

I want to start taking pictures of my figures and statues, but I don't know anything about photography and I don't have a lot of money either. Can anyone recommend a nice, inexpensive camera for me?

Honestly I started out with my iPhone 5s. What matters is you get the right lighting. That's why I made some homemade diffusers and soft boxes.

Then if you start feeling more comfortable, that's when you start getting the more expensive stuff. I think my Canon Rebel T5i is one of the cheaper good ones

I think any of Canon's Rebel cameras are a good place to start
