Same. Hoping it comes early on Saturday

Same, count me in for Monday lol

I can confirm both my deluxes with KGhobby have the ”Battalion” nameplate! These figures are awesome. But it would have been nice if HT had included a regular crotch grabber. Worry the dynamic stand will eat into the semi-soft armor.

 

[TurdFurgusonsHat]

Those grabbers can cause damage. I don't use them long term anymore. I'll probably have to get more cheap black oval stands for these.

 

[Rbeato]

My shipping updated, expected Friday!!!

 

[Chainedstream]

The neck articulation on this and Cody, feels like nonexistent. I don’t dare moving position in fear of breaking. Is it possible to move or is it fixed?

Mine coming from Sideshow on Friday too. I have more coming from Timewalker also and they are listed on their imminent arrival page.

Definitely possible to move. It shouldn't be that hard to move it.

Mine is scheduled for delivery tomorrow. Looking forward to it. Now to get Rex and a Shiny white.

 

[The Green Goblin]

nothing better than opening up a brand new damaged figure

the rubber bit on the foot is either not glued, or the peg connecting it to the foot is broken

great job hot toys.

The head and neck is very movable, better than most. Can look at the way down to take orders from Yoda, or up to the sky to survey the scene. I got mine today and I'm pretty happy with it. It's a bit lighter than I thought. Love the design and backpack accessory. Joints are ratcheted and tight. Satisfying to lock in poses with that feature. Definetly looks best in pairs of 2, so I did that and courasant gaurd the same way.

Thanks for the feedback, congrats... and the name plate is all good?

The stand is absolutely useless, and will likely wind up breaking the armor if left clamped on.

But at least I got the superior Battalion version.


It'd be real cool if the stands were magnetic, and didn't really on clamps and crotch grabbers.

Some BF2 action while awaiting 501st...

BATTALION [confirmed]

I wanted to come up with a temporary alternative to replace the dynamic flight pole and just to make a normal stand.

So, I ended up using an extra HT grabber post, and wrapped the end with several layers of Plumbers Tape (PTFE thread seal tape). This worked well and gave the post a snug fit in the 501st base.

These figures… Go great in pairs. Probably even better with 12, like some here.

What clone do you think we'll see next? I bet 212th are most probable.

 

[TurdFurgusonsHat]

If they make more clones I hope it's just the Commanders and ARC troopers

I’m hoping once sideshow starts shipping out the coruscant guard, that hot toys will decide to release the 212 and general kenobi. Similar with the mandalorian scout shipping and the rotj scout going up for preorder. But, this is hot toys, why would they make any sense. Are we 100% sure my wife isn’t in charge over there?

 

[Rbeato]

Got mine in. Battalion name plate. While I love the figure I absolutely HATE the hands. What was Hot Toys thinking making some of these weapons the figure can’t even really hold.
