Wonder when these go up for pre order? Been waiting for Hot Toys to make these for a long time. This is going to bring me back in the 1/6th game.

Stormtroopers are NOT clones

Thank you. Love the idea of different sizes myself....

Re: Hot Toys Stormtrooper.

Stormtroopers are clones with some normal recruited humans as well

That would make the most sense........but still PREQUEL people: leave

No star Wars Hot toy news then we are bombarded with 4 figures, wallet is sniffling..... I really hope they nail a bad ass Vader that is just unbelievable. I think Vader will become HT's new Heath Ledger Joker with so many variations. I didn't want to compare it to the other Avenger Robot Suit they seem to have a crush on

I know "OT elitists" are hard headed but I would be glad to have clones ret-conned as Stormtroopers because that means, somewhere in the galaxy, there are Stormtroopers who can actually hit something

If you just took what you saw in the OT, Stormtroopers are the biggest joke in all of cinema armies

Yeah, we'll most probably see ANH, ESB & ROTJ versions of Vader.

Nope.

Re: Hot Toys Stormtrooper.

As much as I would want to get this set, I'll wait for the inevitable Han & Luke portraits, that was one of my favorite parts of SW as a kid.

That's untrue. They hit more than their mark rounding up the rebels in the opening scene on Tantive IV.

And I'm sure they played some sort of role in killing the Bothans who stole the death star II plans, we just didn't see it.

Yes I do think that SW did strongly indicate in 1977 that at least a portion of Stormtroopers were clones. TK-421 could have literally been the one trooper's clone name and Leia's "aren't you a little short" comment does suggest that either the Empire has height requirements for enlistment or that they manufacture soldiers with a certain physicality. You could really take it either way.

Even with the different heights that we see on screen they could still all be clones. There's no reason they couldn't have a dozen or even a hundred different clone templates.

My belief is that there is a mix of clones and enlisted men. TK-421 was a clone, the two guys chatting about the new model of speeder or whatever on the bridge next to Obi-Wan were normal dudes. I'm not dying on that battlefield or anything but that's just what I assume when I watch the original SW. Luke and Leia both reference the Clone Wars so it's not like it wasn't a concept being imagined at the time.

With Vader there, I can look at those on the Tantive IV as 501st Troopers just killing Imperial Diplomat security but still, they were massacred by midget bears

No they weren't. They were handing the ewoks' asses to them until Chewie stole a scout walker.

That's even worse then. This "Entire legion of my best troops.." were outsmarted by a wookie that Clones would've made a rug out of

Verbal21: Thinks SE's are better than theatrical editions and that ewoks are more badass than wookiees. Just making sure I'm up to date on your preferences. At this rate I can only assume that Ben Quadinaros is your favorite SW character.

Re: Hot Toys Stormtrooper.

Here's a clearer picture of the announcement picture.

Awesome, thanks. Looks like I "called it" with the guns on those two previously black squares.

Two things are immediately obvious from this picture:

1. The "exclusive" items are part of this set, not the purchase location - which is also why you see the heavy blaster in the hands of one of the troopers in the main artwork.
2. There will be single Stormtroopers available, which is why they're calling out set-specific exclusive items.

That's what I was hoping for. I want a single one to go with Han & Luke when they get released.
