Hot Toys Star Wars Stormtrooper

[Pixelpiper]

wait is this a stormtrooper or luke and han in disguise?

It's actually Grand Moff Tarkin and Admiral Piett getting ready for a Halloween mixer.

 

[Pixelpiper]

hmmmm, the one does look shorter than the other...

That's just the camera angle and the booze.

timeline doesn't match up, Piett wasn't promoted yet

You just stumbled onto how he really got promoted.

I was thinking the same thing.

Have you guys ever watch the movie Star Wars?

What is this Star Wars you speak of? Is that the movie with the guy with the bowl haircut and the funny ears?

Sorry Pixel, I need you to elaborate please.

Sorry Pixel, I need you to elaborate please.

Every Stormtrooper in that movie is a different height. They're played by actors of all different heights, using mostly costumes of approximately the same size, so their fit also varies considerably.

This is a Stormtrooper 2-pack. Nothing more nothing less. Great to finally get some variety and I hope the single release is a third height.

Except in this case Hot Toys is leading the jury.

It's a cunning plan to sell Stormtroopers and Han and Luke incognito.

I'm sure when it comes time for a Han and Luke trooper set, they'll label it Han and Luke and include, you know, Han and Luke head sculpts.

The cunning plan is that you don't need the head sculpts for them to still be Han and Luke.

 

[Pixelpiper]

Sure, they can also be Tarkin and Piett as I mentioned earlier. Or any two characters of your choice or imagination. Except clones. They most definitely cannot, under any circumstances, be clones.

I dunno.... even the fit on the shorter trooper is dead on to how it fit Luke.... something is going on here. I wouldn't be surprised if it was just laying the groundwork for a rehash with the head sculpts later on.

 

[bebe13junior]

Yeah, I mean I for one am going to display them as Regular Stormtroopers. But it would be foolish to think that they wouldn't be implying that these figures could be Luke and Han...similar heights, have same weapons, and why would they miss a chance to recreate those sequences in the Death Star. Where I guess many have questions are whether or not they will have head sculpts or be compatible with the Han and eventual Luke ANH sculpts. Thing is I do t imagine they'd expect you to buy a han just to take his head off and put it on another figure....
For my purposes, I would have preferred to have the stormtroopers the same height. But I do believe that you will be able to buy a single StormTrooper, the taller one. I'm just sure that I'd be swayed by the set if it ended up being cheaper to get the set rather than two troopers.

Helps to have a point of differentiation in a two-pack, With Stormtroopers the height is probably the only thing they can do (unless they wanna make Sandtrooper armor)

 

[Pixelpiper]

unless they wanna make Sandtrooper armor

3 pack with different pauldrons and heights, or… 6 pack, 3 of each height, 2 of each color pauldron.
