Sideshow Shadow Stormtrooper!

I got this guy for a steal and he's great! I can't wait to give him the new rifle from the sandtrooper that's coming out!

I agree, I think he's highly underrated. Good idea with the sandtrooper, I may do the very same thing.

There is no such thing as a shadow stormtrooper. Stick to OT I say!

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.

Here is my Shadowtrooper I did a few years ago. It was a white Stormtrooper that was damaged, so I sprayed it with black spray paint and then I used floor finish for the shiny affect.

The armor looks great, better than the official release IMO. I remember them being shiny and clean in the comics.

The headsculpt fits right in, but I'm a bit scared at the prospect of Obama clones..

Thanks.
I call this the "True Face of the Evil Empire"

Great look to that armor brother. Very nice. I may tackle that mod myself.

Thanks but be careful if your painting the white Stormtrooper, there is something on the armor that makes some paints bubble. But I don't think the Shadowtrooper has it, but just in case it does use 90% alcohol and rub the armor with it then use soap to clean the armor again. Let dry then paint.

Cool. Thanks for the tip. I have the shadow. I'll try it out.

Looks much better than the official Pie Wars Shadow Stormtrooper release.

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)

I am with you 100% Pilgrim and I agree with all your pro's completely. I got my 2 Sideshow Stormtroopers at the same time and I was so disappointed with the Sideshow Stormtrooper armor in comparison to the Medicom armor that I didn't even open up the second one. The chest armor being my biggest con.

I like this pic from Star wars Galaxies with the red pauldron on the Black armour. Shh though it might upset The Gent.

It also can just be seen here as well.
