The armor is white ABS plastic, Further painted white. it shouldn't turn yellow, ever.I believe the armor is ABS plastic. It shouldn't turn yellow without some serious neglect.
Considering that Hot Toys was instrumental in assisting Sideshow with the stormtrooper armor (their logo is even on the box) it's basically a Hot Toys stormtrooper. Switch it to a true-type and you've got it. I'm sure their method of armor attachment would be a bit different from Sideshow's, but I can't imagine much difference between the two beyond that. Awesome figure either way.
According to Toys2 Star Wars is pretty much set in stone
I could really see this helping Sideshow. A Hot Toys announcement of a DX Jedi Luke would probably quicken the sellout of SSC's remaining Emperor Palpatines that are still in stock, for instance.
True but I don't need $150-$200 background characters. Let Sideshow do those and hopefully HT sticks to the big guns.
And yes unless I misunderstood him Eric seem to be under the impression that HT is going to get to dabble in the Star Wars universe directly next year.....May the Force be with our wallets
To those complaining over HT doing Star Wars figure, I offer a very simple solution; Dont buy them.
There are many of us excited over the prospects of Hot Toys + Star Wars, If you feel it is not needed, than be happy in the knowledge that you will be saving money. Unless, that is, you think you cannot help yourself, and will feel compelled to buy a figure you do not want. To those I suggest you seek professional help.
Amen brother! That is where I am at. I have no doubt that HT will do a great job on SW. But I am guessing that they will cost more than I am willing to spend. And even if they are reasonably priced for me, I could not display them with my SS ones. I am just retentive that way. It is just like my not being willing to display Medicom Star Wars figures with my SS ones.

Has this been mentioned on this board? That's got me thinking that if there's anything to be seen, it will be along these lines. A collaboration on future figures.
Surely that can only be because of the scale issue? I'd have happily posed my medicom stormie next to SS Vader if he didn't look like a kid playing at dress-ups.
Hot Toys = awesome. Maybe the time will come when something they touch doesn't turn to awesomeness, but I think they'll do the same top notch job on SW that they on every other license.

Let's hope with much better likenesses and a much cheaper price tag.
