Sideshow 12" Stormtrooper PICTURE THREAD

[cerealkeller]

Yea, molded is fine.

I plan on using some Zaino car polish on him to shine him up. The stuff is the nectar of the gods.

Off topic but you seem to love this stuff. Do you think it could be used on HT Aliens without damaging the rubber? Trying to find something that wouldn't damage it but give it a "glossy/slimy" look.

Oh and on topic, I've gotten over my initial bad reaction to the stormtroopers and now have to track down two. I still have qualms with it but it's grown on me, especially with Wor-Gars excellent shots.

Hi Chavez

 

[pixletwin]

So uh, how long does it take from when it goes from Item Shipping Soon to shipped.

Good question.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I'm shocked no one has yet to mention there's no green tint to the eyes.

On rubber, I wouldn't use anything. I would avoid using anythingl like armorall.

Those will leave a slick film and will become a dust magnet.

theres no green tint to the eyes...............happy now????...

edit: FINALLY.......got a shipping soon status...........

 

[cerealkeller]

Thanks. Just wish it could look slimier. The tire shine stuff may not be a bad idea since HT Aliens are already dust magnets. Sorry for thread derail.... Please feel free to go back to bash/praise the Stormtrooper. I think I'll get mine from Alter Ego as they still taking preorders.

That does it, i'll calling UPS and telling to take that junk back to SS.

You can always paint them green

 

[Wor-Gar]

You can always paint them green

I got to gloss them anyway, so I actually might.

 

[Kuzeh]

If Hot Toys did these, they would have actual lenses I believe...
Like the Preds...

And they would be $200. But would kick much ass

 

[Wor-Gar]

SS got so much right with this figure, we're talking some minor fixes overall... mics, gloss, codpiece, whatever.

That said, aren't the little markings on the sides of the shoes supposed to be gray (like the ones above the brim on the sides of the helmet)?

One more thing to fix.

 

[UMRebel]

Can't wait to see pics once someone makes some paint corrections to the mics and adds some gloss to the armor. For those of you who decide to gloss the armor, please let us know what you use. Those are really the only to issues I have with the figure. I believe the codpiece issue can be alleviated with correct armor positioning and good posing.

Here all this time I just thought they were black and white.

I thought that was just for the stunt helmets.

 

[MaulFan]

I don't think the green lenses are a big deal because I can't think of a moment on screen when you ever could tell.

Vader's red tint on the other hand was prevalent and important.

I couldn't tell you where, but even as a kid I remember noticing the green tint.

No big deal, but as long as you're at it...
