Sideshow 12" Stormtrooper PICTURE THREAD

Does this armor make me look buff?



See how much it sticks out over the torso armor?

Now we need a Marmit to SS comparison!

couldn't resist..
Princesses love shiny things.. right?

They were $129 new, not $150. They also have better proportions and a much more accurately sculpted helmet, based on the Hero version. I've been hoping that people would start dumping their Medi Stormtroopers once the SS figure was finally released.

Quick shot next to the Medi-Trooper.

I'm thinking the SS Stormie looks far superior proportion-wise. I have a Medi-Sandtrooper and like this Medi-Stormtrooper it has itty bitty legs.

These two were based on different helmets, so they can't fairly be judged against one another, just on the real helmets. That aside, what is going on with the lower body on the SS piece? The codpiece dimensions and the length of the thigh pieces are just off, and the left-knee diamond is large. The chest piece looks to be too large as well.

Now, while I am being very critical in my analysis, don't let that take away from what any of you think about it. I have a life-size picture here that I'm using for reference. I do realize that reproducing it in 1/6 and making it able to pose is difficult. The Marmits still have the best sculpts, though I do wish their feet were seperate.

Hate to say it but the Medi looks proportionately more accurate, even if he is a little short for a Stormtrooper.

It seems like the Medicom helmet is riding way too high (in addition too being to tall and thin for a more rounded human head). That Stormtrooper would have to have an extremely long neck. The SS trooper helmet seems to be sitting at a more natural spot in relation to your neck, chin and shoulders.

SS have nailed the helmet, the medi version looks deformed.

Thanks--the ankles were strong enough for that last shot, so I'm satisfied.

Luke's helmet was the only ANH Hero with the low brow...

Thanks for all the pics guys! Looks great! Can't wait to get mine, but I do wish they would have made a way to connect the front to the back of the chest armor so that it would lay down a little better in the front and the back. I'm hopeful that a little "top stick" tape will do the trick or good pose will cover it up.
