Speaking of Trooper variants, what was with the guy who said "She'll be all right, inform Lord Vader we have a prisoner." He doesn't have any of those blue stripes on the sides of his helmet. Was the extra just wearing an unfinished helmet or was that supposed to designate him as a squad leader or something?

latest

Google "Mr. No Stripes". That helmet is in several scenes; merely a production error.

Pretty sure he's actually on the old Kenner card, too.

If we get that guy before we get this guy, I'm gonna be pissed:

What the hell do you think that thing is he is supposed to be carrying? This is the scene where Lando tells everyone to evacuate Cloud City right? Probably some hi-end stash of booze from Lando's personal collection. What is the SW equivalent of Romulan Ale?
 
He needs to be a PF first.
Nah. A character like that insists on being moved around into different action poses.

It's obviously an ice cream maker. Man has his priorities straight.

This is total deja vu.... didn't this Ice Cream Maker guy come up when Sideshow first got the Stra Wars license...? :lol
Hopefully. Until SSC and HT get a clue, this needs to be brought up early and often.
 
Remember when Master Replica were around, and people joking about the ice cream maker costing about $500 😆

Before getting too baffled by HT's reasoning here, it might help to take a look at their previous practices--just about every time something popular was released by Hot Toys, it got released again. Frequently as an updated, and improved edition. Batmen, Ledger Jokers, Predators, T2 Arnold and of course, Iron Men being the primary targets here.

HT doesn't seem to be in a huge rush here, given that they haven't announced any Empire-specific figures since getting the new license, and only one Jedi figure I believe in Boba Fett. So, in a year or so from now, they can release Episode 8/Rogue Squadron/whatever and Empire figures, and at that time we will most likely get more Stormies with whatever minor changes included that were made in that film. We might even get more recolored versions and other wacky variants. Then, a couple years later, Jedi versions. A couple years after that, more ep. 4 versions with some improved technology, maybe sound chips or spring loaded missiles, DX googly eyes maybe for the Django sculpt they may put under the helmet, slightly redesigned armor and helmets that make the older versions quaint and obsolete in the eyes of some, etc. etc.

We'll get more Stormtroopers. Hot Toys ain't one to leave a cash cow unmilked.

Shut up.

I didn't know Neil deGrasse Tyson was in Star Wars.
 
Those were the days when wrestling was FUN and plain great...120 people in the crowd at the TBS studio.....

I couldn't agree with you more. The wrestling of today...oops...I mean sports entertainment basically insults the intelligence of anyone over the age of 10. Oh yeah, I did recently get a single Stormtrooper and yes, it is that good of a figure. Wooooo!
 
Got my 2-pack from BBTS this morning. Figures look great! Unfortunately, one of the pieces on the top of my mouse droid is broken. How does BBTS handle stuff like that?
