Why did you start two of them in the first place?

Anyone take a leap and "unweather" these guys? They've gone a little overboard for me and I can't help but to wonder what they'd look like done in the pristine styling.

 

[OT Freak]

They would look like Medicoms Shadow trooper.

The pristine look is what SS should have chosen for this figure. The weathering is so bad it looks the poor Stormie participated in Pie Wars and lost. The Medi one looks much better than the SS version regarding finish and paint.

I actually think the weathering matches perfectly to Traviss' Imperial Commandos.

 

[The Josh]

Yeah, I don't mind it myself. Then again I'd weather most of the figures we've gotten a bit more.

 

[automaton]

the weathering doesn't translate as nicely in photos as it does in person... reserve judgement until the fig is in hand.

I just picked up ne of the long blasters from a sandtrooper corporal from TA for my Blackhole Stormtrooper.


I am stoked.

I love this guy, he's my first piece, always had a thing for shadowtroopers.

 

[highlanderpdx]

Thats a cool pose! I know this is a sin but I like the storm trooper better in black, it looks more menacing. The Black hole figure is tighter also, my white storm trooper is like a rag doll.

 

[astro666]

Great job on that pose pusher, he really looks like he is in motion. It reminds me of some Star Wars cover art I saw at some point just I just can't quite remember what it was.

 

[shocktrooper_au]

Yep need a couple of these guys!

 

[Spicymustard]

Thanks guys, yeah they could paint anything black and I'll probably think its cool, now we just need some shadow snowtroopers.

I like them both but I prefer the medicom stormtrooper each having their own pro's and cons. The one centimetre difference does not bother me unlike some drama queens who claim it as huge or the hands size as its in scale with the figure (really do we all have the same size hands)

Medicom:
The medicom Shadow trooper looks better with the gloss black armour.
The bodysuit looks and feels better
The stiff articulation on the medicom when moved for poses.
The armour is tight on the medicom body.

Sideshow:
The sideshow E11 blaster is the best replication for any scale figure.
The detached belt with holster and flap that has a magnetic catch.
The body parts are easily taken apart. ( you ever tried to take the helmet off a medicom sheesh)
The use of elastic to hold Armour pieces together.

These are the reasons "I" like them both won't go into the cons about them. ( Well i did shell out a Hundred clams for them both)

This is the the only Stormtrooper variant I didn't get yet (excepting the fugly Gentle Giant Magma Trooper statue blah). I might one day get one but still not fond of the Pie Wars paint apps on the armor.

Yes, I have them both too, and like them equally!

Medicom stormies are my preference too
