Sideshow 12" Stormtrooper PICTURE THREAD

[minivader]

Yes, almost as different as the AT-AT Driver and TIE Pilot helmets. The Marmit helmet is a near-perfect representation of the ANH Hero helmet.

I didn't know about this until I researched on the difference on the helmets. (thank for the almighty infonet) and the whole stunt and hero difference. its a interesting read.

Don't read that page if you want to enjoy your SSC Stormtrooper.

I warned you.

Nice point josh.... erm.... and by "point" I mean that you make a good argument.

Look at the cod pieces in this pic. All 3 look different.

dont get it, what? ss's st has small boy cod piece vs the film's man size cod piece?

 

[galactiboy]

this thread has already gotten out of hand, now we're circling the crotches of Stormtroopers

But, it is a good point... there probably wasn't the strictest of uniformity on the set, so maybe the cod piece from Sideshow is representative of some of the source material (or even a dictate) they were given.

Either way, its a pretty minor issue and overall the figure looks kickass! Now bring on Vader

Did you look at his pic minivader?

 

[Billy Ray]

Thanks to everyone who posted pics! I think SS's Trooper looks fantastic! I definitely like it better than the Medi, but think the Marmit looks a little bit nicer. I agree, the codpiece is undersized but I can live with that. The one thing I want ot know, though, is...why I am I still "processing" on mine???????!!!!! This guy can't get here soon enough!

You haven't seen anything yet. Pretty soon we are going to get into how long the fingers are.

Where is Justin anway?

 

[Matt S]

so sandtrooper should be alright.

I mean, Sandtroopers still have white armor......

 

[MaulFan]

Is it really the cod piece bugging people or the ammount of black undesuit showing between the cod/hip armor and the thigh armor?

I think that has a lot to do with the reason it looks odd. A little futzing should fix that.

 

[Wor-Gar]

This picture is very funny out of context, Josh.

Thats what I am thinking. Its an optical illusion created by the positioning of the cod piece in relationg to the rest of the armor rather than an actual discrepancy in size. Thats what "Josh's Pic of Circled Trooper Units" showed me.

Hmmmm.....Talking about Cods in here...there is discussion about nipples in the Bowen thread....if I look hard enough I'll find the thread where whoo-ha is being discussed....

 

[EVILFACE]

Hope his mom didn't walk in on him drawing circles around dudes crotches.

SS ST: so hey man, if I pull my chest armor down and thigh up up a it, would my cod piece look as big as yours?

Marmit ST: no man, no it wont.

can't believe I am typing this.

 

[MaulFan]

What we really need is to see the ST in some dynamic, not spread eagle, poses that show if having the smaller cod armor allows for the legs to pose in ways the larger armor would restrict.

The Medicom ones and the marmit ones looks better overall to me cause of one thing...The gloss/shine. ST'rs gotta have that. Otherwise i think they all have their pros and cons, so just pick one and call it a day. Still stumps me how SS could mess that one up, but i guess i'm used to SS's antic by now.

Oh and coolw, let the medi SS thing go already it's Sooooooo 2005. Alot of people here like myself like both so cool it, pun intended.

I don't have it in hand yet but i'd say 7.5 8/10 from what i see. And that's perfectly acceptable for 80$. Although the paint coming off when putting the blaster in hand keeps it down some.
