Hot Toys Star Wars Stormtrooper

That line is out of place, IMO. It's too familiar even though she's supposed to think it's just another trooper opening the door.

I've always thought along these lines too. I think way too much weight has been placed on that comment as evidence that all Stormtroopers were a certain height when Leia was basically making a joke.

Budget Stark already asked the guys at Secret Base about this and they said it won't be possible to switch out ST heads with human ones. So just wait on that exclusive, instead, CC!

Yep.. I think that detail, pretty much confirms we will be getting a 'Stormtrooper Disguise' Han and Luke set from Hot Toys.. which is cool, because those are the only Han and Luke figures I want for my collection.. but it will depend on the head sculpts.

As far as them all being the same, we know there was at least one tall one...he whacked his head on the door in the first movie...

 

[canadaclone]

At least you admit it.

I do. And I am in control of my OCD...just don't tell it I said so...

Why not change the foot pegs on the troopers for even more height variation? I mean having a bunch of them AND being able to differentiate them even further goes a long way to avoid the dreaded clone talk altogether.

I wish I will be able to get at least two sets, but in reality I will be happy to be able to get one pair before they can't be had "cheaply" anymore.

If they are doing something different with the heads, to keep the Han / Luke head swapping form happening...they may be doing something different with the bodies....we will find out in about 2 weeks....

we will find out in about 2 weeks....

Is that when the time machine will be completed?

Don't pressure him, jeeeeeeeez....

Such confident powers of prediction around here.

That is an excellent idea.. Hot Toys and Sideshow, please take note.

I assumed he was just talking about the release of the shadow trooper, which will probably be on the same body and have the same kind of head as the stormtrooper. That should be shipped out in a couple more weeks.

Why aren't the official specs and pics for this on the front page? What have you done with those plans?

Ah right, fair enough then.

No, people in Hong Kong get a hold of the Shadow StormTrooper...should be the same design as the Stormtroopers...and we can ask people that post photos...

Even the tall stormie looks too short; he should not be shorter than old ben...and the luke sized one looks way short....not happy

 

[ZE_501]

Hard to say without knowing what kind of lens/angle was used...the stormtroopers are behind Obi Wan...

 

[jra81984]

Yeah it is way too soon to freak out over that! haha

It's a bad photo to make comparisons on considering the Stormies are displayed well behind Vader.

 

[Pixelpiper]

Is that a 1/4 scale Vader? It looks about the same height as the torso of the guy in the photo.
