I didn't, but I did tighten up the screws. I just used the stand for the helmet.

Play.com over here in the Uk have just knocked these back by another couple of weeks... I'm getting so impatient waiting for this fella.... I cant afford much at the moment and I've been saving for him.....

I NEEDS ME FIX!

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

Darn it! I am waiting for play.com to send me one to Oxnard. Its so frustrating watching and reading all about you guys in the US getting yours and as usual us in the UK have to wait ages. GGGrrrrr

Anybody got any refs of the actual back of the Spacetrooper? The airtanks or whatever they are?

Marmit did a prototype but I don't know if its accurate.

Hasbro released a 3 3/4" Space trooper with a pack that looks fairly decent. Worst case scenario there's always pause and zoom on the DVD during the Falcon's docking scene on the Death Star.

This is the best view I can see of them... If you sharpen it in photoshop, you might be able to gain a bit more detail.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Thanks!

Those cannisters look white in the movie but silver on the Marmit proto and the actual still of the guy in the suit. Looks like Marmit got the shape correct though.

 

[FlyAndFight]

I can see this one being an SDCC exclusive. Very cool derivative and it was in the film so it's "official"...

 

[jkno]

Hope someone makes these Spacetroopers

 

[MaulFan]

Shows how little I notice, never knew they had extra gear.

 

[Darren Carnall]

same here. After all these years I never knew those were different stormtroopers in that scene. (And I usually notice EVERYTHING)

 

[MaulFan]

I'm usually watching the Falcon in that shot.

 

[Billy Ray]

Looked for some future to "polish my trooper" with today at Wal-Mart. The only thing I saw was "Pledge with Future Shine" floor polish. Is this the right stuff???

 

[Ultimate Weapon]

Always loved those space troopers hanging out outside the docking bay. There are a few behind the scenes image I've seen before of the guy in the suit. I found one of them.

Hasbro just made one of these guys as well, which looks decently accurate, that could always be used for reference. In fact I think it even has this guy's face.

 

[MANDO]

I can't imagine that furniture polish is good for the plastic. You're really better off gloss coating. Either removing all the armor bits and using a spray-on sealer like Testors or Krylon's clear coat, or picking up a bottle of Testors Model Masters Acryl Clear Gloss at you local hobby store. The Model Masters is really great stuff, btw.

 

[Commtech]

Yeah, if I wanted them shiny, I would use testor's or Krylon's clear coats. But I'm happy with my stormies as they are.
