Hot Toys Star Wars Stormtrooper

[haveblue]

Both my troopers had paint defects on the helmet. I decided to live with one of them, but exchange the other. Sideshow offered an insulting $20 credit to keep the other. Sort of a disappointing conclusion to an otherwise great figure.

I, too, had a bad defect on my helmet and they also offered a $20 credit but I turned it down for an exchange and am much happier now. They sent me a new helmet which is close to perfect.

I picked up mine yesterday. Really nice figure, and it's nice to have a 1/6 ST that can stand up by himself.

... it's nice to have a 1/6 ST that can stand up by himself.

One of the TWO key reasons for the upgrade.






The other is: it's just way better. Yes, way.

So, anyone else notice that the raised band thing on the right knee of their stormie is coming loose toward the back of the knee. When I say loose i mean pulling away. Looks like that notorious weak glue of Hot Toys is rearing it's ugly head as its happening to both of mine.

Tall.

This should be added to the thread title.

Do you guys think Sideshow will have a discount code/extra rewards for the Stormtrooper during May the 4th be with you?

Doubt it. Discount codes are for peg-warmers.

Just curious, they would sell like hot cakes if Sideshow did though!

 

[Pixelpiper]

I think they may be selling like Hot Cakes right now at full price. I'd LOVE to see a discount though.

Very True! I've got some reward points building up that I may pull the trigger on this guy!

I caved and bought another one of these. I am going to go broke with HT's Star wars figures. They are shaping up to be great.

Been thinking of getting another too. Just hope I can fit everything when the rest come out.

April code worked for me.....he is on his way and will arrive Weds. No reason why May wouldn't work

With the Spacetrooper I'll have a total of six, but the classic, gleaming white Storm Trooper design has always been my favourite. To make up, I'll forgo getting any further variations, like Sandtroopers or Scouts. Will keep my two SSC Snowtroopers with the E-Webb, but that's it. Take that, HT!

I did not even know these were in stock. Just ordered. My first figure paid for completely with rewards points. Just have to pay for shipping because they don't allow points to be applied to it for some reason.

Are you painting the helmet or the box?

Bit of both!

I use the box as a target to calibrate my paint/airflow before hitting the helmet.

 

[ZE_501]

Okay, work in progress.

It needs touch-ups, another coat of gloss, detailing etc.

This is my first run so who knows, maybe I'll do it differently on the next.

The differences are subtle but telling, IMO.

The graft. The jutting shoulder piece is not ideal but hidden by suit and armour. Wondering if I can file that down without spoiling structural integrity.
