Sideshow Distribute Medicom 1:6 RAH 501st clonetrooper

[Captain Faramir]

But we know one is shiny silver and one is "life-sized." This doesn't fit either description, so this must be something new that they haven't yet hinted at. We have yet to see the other two items.

I will get this but I agree that Josh's Clone looks a lot better. This one still looks too white IMO.

I agree it wouldn't have killed Medicom to go the extra mile and dirty him up a little bit, especially as they're reusing the same body as they did for the white clone.

Overall though I'm still excited, since 501st is by far my favourite Trooper.

Yeah, for the price especially dirtying it up wouldn't hurt which is why I'm glad I have Josh's which is perfect and I'm gonna be having him do a Shocktrooper. I'm still excited though.

I like the cleaner/dinged up version better,Almost looks too dirty in that pic.The SS pic Looks more like the temple raid 501st troopers.

Can't wait.

This is what it should look like:

Missing battle damage does seem to bother you while the missing leg stripes don't. Or aren't they visible from this angle?

 

[MaulFan]

All the markings seem present.

I think the best damage lies somewhere between what Medicom did and DA's repaint, The Josh's figure looks a little too battle worn to me in the boot area.

 

[FQRizzo]

Definitely.
The 501st will look perfect (well make that 501st squared) behind Sith Eyes Anakin.

Hi folks,

This is my first post on this board...

Anyway, I think the 501st troopers weren't too scuffed up in the movie, so I think the Medicom depiction is pretty good.

Also, correct me if I am wrong, wasn't the first time Ani flashed the sith eyes on Mustafar?

Missing the battle damage does bother me and the stripes are there.

I understand. I wanted him to look like he'd been through hell and back and will be asking Josh to do the same to the Shocktrooper.

 

[The Chaver]

Well,looks like my DarkArtist81 Clone will have another clone to keep him company!

Makes 2 of us.

Debating getting this. I;ve heard the armor makes some restrictions in the movement and articulation of the figure. is this JUST in the elbows and knees, or is it restricted in other areas as well? If it's just the elboes and knees, I can fix that by removing the plastic straps and replacing them with
elastic, like the 501's fanclub guys wear. If it's more than just the elbows and knees, I'll pass.

 

[The Josh]

I didn't notice any real issues. Though, I didn't get too crazy when posing mine.

 

[OSCORP]

You can pose the stormtroopers pretty damn good despite the armor i don't think clones would be much different.

 

[lerath666]

the armor on the clones is very Simular, true. But the stormie armor lacks elbow and knee pads. So Taking what I've heard into account, this makes me think that it's just the elbow and knee pads that are the problem. Anyone who has a regualr clone care to tell me how the articulation on those parts are?

 

[The Josh]

Again, I had no issues moving the arms or legs around when trying to figure out what I wanted to do.

 

[Vader AL]

i see it's going to be a LONG time until we get SS armored figs.

Why do you say that?

 

[Vader AL]

Why do you say that?

i just can't see them going head to head very close together. i know they both have maul and luke and medi and SS are different niches but i bet we don't see one till '09.

 

[The Chaver]

Why do you say that?

My speculation is that SS will wait until Medicom has done most if not all of the armoured figure's,then start to release their own.SS ditribute's Medicom's figure's and I'm I think there is some kind of agreement or inlfunece between the two companies or Lucas and everyone who has the license.Why else would SS just release mostly Jedi and Medicom mostly armoured figures,sound like a marketing strategy for both companies to make money,Mr. Lucas as well.
