Beautiful photos! It almost looks like the Death Star interiors with those lights blurred in the background! Nice job!

You only need one (per hand).....!!!!!!!!!

 

[Darth Fok]

Minimum you need are two. When they both flank vader, it's looks really nice

Why is this still on pre-order at Sideshow with a ship date of May-June? You always think HT and SSC are pretty tight with their distribution deals and all, yet Sideshow ships this 3-4 months after they hit HK?

I ordered a set from SS 3 weeks ago thinking they were in stock and I'm still waiting.

They already had a round of stock that they went through. Got the set at the end of March from SS.

They'll do that even when they have product in hand in low quantities so they don't have to send anyone a surprise back-order. It's nicer to expect a delay and get a figure early than to expect your figure next week and find out you won't get it until next month.

My guess is that HT didn't anticipate the level of desire/popularity of the troopers and didn't ship them in high enough numbers initially. We had comments alluding to this early on and since then people buying multiple two packs or even an entire case at a time.

^^it's all Canadaclone's fault.

I think he's been silent about the two additional cases because he doesn't want a lynch mob forming.

 

[Darth_IMPoor]

He's going for screen accuracy....just not for armor like one would think, for number of actual Stormtroopers on the Death Star.

The Sideshow version has more problems than just the helmet. Floppy body, teeny-tiny crotch, too-wide chest armor etc.

 

[Pixelpiper]

Everything except the floppy body is a feature.

I know, but still. Thinking of replacing one of my sandtrooper heads.

Most glaring issues for me on SSC are the lower leg armour, the helmet, and itty-bitty codpiece. It actually has excellent shoulder bells, albeit not perfect they're better than the HT for the taper, although they don't have the flared centre strip. That's Hardcore Geeky, though.

Only Imperial Nerds are so precise.
