Hey Matrix, this picture and your picture in the Vader thread have helped to clarify something for me - whether I want to collect all the OT troopers or just the basic stormtroopers. I was thinking of getting he sand trooper, but nothing to me is as iconic as the normal stormtroopers. I'm going to save my money and get a couple of extra Han stormtroopers when he eventually comes out.

So I was able to pick the last Stormtrooper at my LCS and compared the helmet to the one that came w/ Luke disguise.......the eyes are bolder and has more depth when compared to the regular helmet that comes w/ the Stormtrooper.

BTW mine didn't come w/ a manual.....is this normal. It's not like I need it but it's good to know.

I've been convinced there was a difference, but I sold my regular troopers in favour of Luke in disguise and Sandtroopers so I couldn't compare...

Difference between stunt vs hero helmet.

I think I might offer to actually trade a set of New Hope Stormies for Force Awakens set...but I don't know if I can find one to spare...

Terrible. Theres people in India without Stormtroopers.

That's not it -- the HT stormie and Luke stormie are both more or less hero helmets while the HT sandtrooper is a stunt...

Yeah, the only difference I see is the bubble lens. I'll post some pics in a few.

Some pics of the two helmets side by side. The rubber lining inside/underneath the helmet looks to be a bit more prominent on the Luke helmet so that's giving the two helmets slightly different angles.

Black paint on the mouth on the Luke helmet is matte vs gloss on the regular helmet. Have to say that looking at the side by sides the top part of the helmet on the Luke trooper looks like it could be a tad taller--trapezoid definitely seems taller from the side (could be cleaner paint job though). Could be to fit the internal detailing?

Luke on the LEFT, regular trooper on the RIGHT.

Wow, this is to reflect the differences between the Stunt and Hero versions of the helmet for ANH. That's paying attention to the detail!

I'm pretty sure the two pack is modeled on these guys. Hot Toys nailed the belt on the second one to get through.

Count the troopers!

Beat me by four....

I think HT used the same belt for their 1/6 ANH Vader!

Thanks for sharing. Your last pic pretty much shows the difference between the 2 different eye lens and if it's due to hero vs stunt style then I must not watch enough SW to pay attention lol. BTW Luke's helmet does have a green hint to it if you can get it at the right angle for those who may question.

 

[ZE_501]

Thanks for that, TonTon. I'm glad I wasn't imagining it! The production variance may be because of the Luke helmet's internal components, but who knows?

All the HT Stormtroopers are Hero, no matter if Luke in disguise or regular trooper. Only the Sandtrooper so far has a Stunt sculpt.

If that's the case then I prefer the bubble lens rather than the more flat one on the regular Stormtrooper The Sandtrooper I'm ok with how it is.

What? What's going on here? Lord Vader won't be pleased.

Pixelpiper, did you make that banner?
