1/6 Hot Toys - Star Wars VIII: The Last Jedi - EXECUTIONER TROOPER

I forgot there were two RO Vaders. So up to 6. Maybe 7 if this stand-in clown counts. He has to be on film though and in the movie somewhere.

Double for what? The lighting stand-in? That doesn't count. Guy just wants some fame.

If you mean the SE scenes in Jedi.... can't we just forget about those?

He did most of the fight scenes in Empire and Jedi as Prowse was rubbish at swordplay.

He doubled for Prowse in the lightsaber fights in ESB and ROTJ, like Kadman88 said.

OK, then he counts for sure! Some of Vaders best stuff was the swordplay. They should have fired Prowse and kept Bob Anderson's ***.

Terrible name for Vader though, Bob Anderson. Almost as bad as the SE reveal of the actor who replayed Boba Fett.

R1 Darth vader (Spencer Welding) in the middle with two Stormtroopers.

 

[IndyMOS]

It sounds like he kept breaking the blades, and plus his friendship with George Lucas was declining. So he probably wasn't keen on having him do the lightsaber duels at that point. I'm glad with how it turned out though, as Anderson really stepped Vaders fights up from what we saw in ANH.

This dude better kill someone in the movie.

Man these Disney artists have no imagination. Other than BB-8 (still split on Kylo too), there is not one design I like from Ep7 or 8... Kinda sucks, but good for my wallet and sanity. If I feel the need to buy anything from these movies, I'll stick to the way cheaper 1/12 6 inch scale by Bandai, Mafex, and Hasbro.

Hate the prequels all you want, but Lucas hired a lot better artists to come up with visually striking and memorable looking characters and ships. Disney? ... meh. Nothing looks right to me nor fits in with Lucas' OT & PQ designs . The new red guards look no where near as cool as the originals to me. Cheap imitations to go along with the terrible looking Duck troopers.

As always congrats to those who like em. I'm sure this will be a great looking figure like all the other FO troopers still hanging around 2 years later .

The slight changes in the helmet make it look a bit better, I didn't buy any of the TFA troopers mostly because their helmet design and the articulation complaints. Maybe if these new ones don't suffer from those same issues I might pick one up, just not sure if it'll be this one in particular.
I'm not digging the big electro axe thing.

 

[phobicsquirrel]

meh, easy pass.

First the riot control guy, now this one. Definitely need these special troopers with special weapons to be able to combat all the Jedi running around wielding lightsabers...

Wonder who this guy fights with for 10 seconds of screen time in EP8.....

Being labelled as executioner, my bet is he won't be involved in a fight. More likely beheading a few Rebels or even failing FO officers from Starkiller base

They are not against Jedi or riot unit ...

Obviously good old shooting is outdated in SW, now they use electrified claws

Lame! I feel bad for the new generations. Back in my day we actually had cool troopers that just couldn't shoot worth a damn.

 

[Sithblade]

Tank Trooper from RO was way better. Of course, that hasn't been offered.

I'm sure Disney has done a lot of research with young children and what colors they like and how they should be arranged. They definitely like the same designs but with alternate colors -- like Ninja Turtles, Power Rangers, etc.

A certain Mr G. Lucas approved the tank trooper helmet[emoji6]

I like this. I will most likely get this.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Riot trooper, Executioner trooper.... for the cell phone generation, its all about the things you hold.

I'm sure he gives his courtesy approval on everything that they let him see.

He could care less at this point.

 

[Darkseed]

Holy moly I didn't expect this one to arrive for PO so quickly ..... yea really meh

He (Lucas) snickers too himself under his breathe as he gives his approval to Disney's crappy designs... Then as he walks away he smiles and thinks to himself "How do you people feel about my PQ characters now??!.. *******!!"
