Hot Toys Star Wars Stormtrooper

I thought that might be but I wasn't aware that the 1/4 scale figures came with different hands and three different blasters.

Just in case, sorry if you know this already: These are fully articulated figures, just like the 1/6, but in 1/4. Not to be confused with other 1/4 products like Sideshow's "Premium Format" which are mixed-media statues. So they'll come with the same types of extras as other action figures.

Prequel Vader is such an odd choice, why not OT?

It's supposed to be Return of the Jedi Vader according to Con info and the preview at SSC's site.

So the Stormtrooper and Vader have tall stands?

That is great news, I remember chatter here on the forum that it was going to be rots Vader. Did hot toys change their mind, or were the initial reports incorrect?

Isn't the chest armor and chest box the ROTS version though?

Given how off the ANH helmet is, the helmet on the 1/4 scale can't really be used as evidence of anything.

I haven't looked closely enough and it's anyone's guess whether anyone at HT knows the difference. But "RotJ" was the info passed around in July and what's still written under the photo at SSC.

I don't remember there being any official word one way or the other but just seemed it was a given it was ROTS based on all the details. I don't recall anything to the contrary from that Vader thread. Sure you didn't see the ROTJ on the SS premium format?

Ah gotcha, well could just be a screw up on SS's part.

Could be. Or it could be a screw up on HT's part. I know which one I put more stake in.

Nope, didn't know that Thanks.

It'd be a pretty major screw up to produce parts for a Vader from the wrong movie vs what basically could amount to a typo. Would be pretty hilarious if they tried to pass that figure off unchanged as a ROTJ Vader.

To some people a reference image is a reference image. It's not like it would be the first time.

So the only way to get an HT Stormtrooper is to 1) buy 2-pack at BBTS or 2) pay $329 on ebay?

 

[Pixelpiper]

$329 is an amazing price! For the 2-pack.

 

[TurdFurgusonsHat]

Right now the the bbts 2 pack is a great "deal". I'm surprised it is still available to be honest. Its been about the only way you can go to get stormies at retail for a good while now. They must have/had a massive stock of them.

Toynk has it at $259.99. I ordered mine and will have it by Wednesday.

 

[Dr. Odd]

Check ebay often, I got one last week for $240 shipped

 

[ZE_501]

Anyone who missed out could just get Luke in disguise and wait for the inevitable Han.

That's great for the 2-pack. Not very good for the single.

I still fear those helmets will not be wearable.

I was under the impression one couldn't swap out the Luke and Han heads for Stormie helmeted heads. That's why I finally bit on the two-pack.
