1/6 Hot Toys - TMS 023 - The Clone Wars: 501st Battalion Clone Trooper (DELUXE VERSION)

[fantasticfrog]

As I checked for Chris, the hexagonal Hot Toys stand supports fit the rectangular bases. The tolerance is just a hair different but they fit.

So TFA, Infinity War, Endgame and a few other figures that have used it.

There's a knockoff version of that hexagonal stand on eBay. I'm not sure if the knockoff versions will have the same size plug, but they're pretty cheap.

TFA stands used to be cheaper but they're less commonly found now. I would just buy one now to be safe.

I’m going to grab one to try it out.
Thanks

Think that’s my plan too. Two is a good number. Might get two of the Coruscant Guards too.

Good idea.

I think if there is one I would buy more than 2 of its the Phase 1 shiny clone.

I say this now but I might end up with like 6 501st clones, but right now 2 is my number.

Will have to curb my temptation of buying multiple of these, space is limited, staying at three 501st clones probably works out for my ideal set up. I also PO'ed two Captain Rex and waiting for the commission of arc trooper Fives to open up too. Need to pay extra attention to avoid being so crowded for my display, particularly when the onslaught of next year POs going to hit really hard.

I’m doing my best to not get a second Rex. I felt like an idiot buying two of Cody (glad I did), but too many releases upcoming. All of the enablers here will be a great help, I’m sure.

I've got Rex on order and ended up with two Deluxe on order as well. I would LOVE a truly white, shiny Trooper for my display as the Sideshow shiny isn't as shiny as it should be. That gives me a proper Trooper evolution display, a bright, shiny white Clone Trooper from the PT, a bright, shiny white Stormtrooper from the OT, and a bright, shiny white First Order Trooper from the ST. This is what I need.

@chrisstruthers and @fantasticfrog, Toy Anxiety has two Phasma stands for $4.99 to steal the support from.

Couple options for $9.99 if those sell out, though Shuri’s has a waist grabber.

Thanks for the heads up. I grabbed two, so hopefully everything fits. Thanks again!

Thanks, Toy Anxiety international shipping is a bit pricey. I took the advice of @Dave_W and shaved off some of the pole that comes with the knock-off oval stands

Got an email from SS arriving between now and August.

 

[SOU7567]

Same, I got excited for a second and thought they were charging my card for the shipping of the order but maybe in the next few weeks I'll get that e-mail.

 

[Rbeato]

Haha same, my 501st Batlalion will arrive soon. Excited

The only clone grunts I'm ever buying is 501st so thinking about stepping up from three to five. I only bought three ROTJ Stormtroopers and now I really regret not getting more when I could.

 

[DioramaMaker]

SS has pulled coupons on the deluxe because they're a bag of dicks.

Went with a regular because of it. I wouldn't use the spare stuff anyway. Still ******* dumb.

Didn't know that. Big time d*** move

 

[IronManConnoiseur]

Yep, my coupons don’t work with Rex either. Was confused because I’ve never used their $25 coupons before, and mine were from both Batman Beyond and the Mark 85 so I tested the Marvel on a Marvel figure and it worked, so I assumed each coupon was just locked to their respective franchise for some reason (with ‘DC’ and ‘MVL’ in the code and them not working on Rex).

Then I realized Sideshow simply chooses what they want after learning it they work on this figure.

 

[DarkChocobi]

My 25$ coupon only works on Deluxe Beskar Mando, Jawa set and *** Sith trooper.

 

[Chainedstream]

Where'd you get the $25 codes to use with Sideshow? Random email? Haven’t gotten any codes recent year, I wonder why. Even though I've ordered a few figures with them.

I have two 501st deluxe on order with a hk dealer. Think they’ll go great with Rex and sith Anakin.

 

[Joe Prince]

I used my coupon and it worked. But I placed the order last week.

Man that Sith Trooper is going to be available for a looooong time.
