I'm in the same boat. The HT proto was way above the original SSC Snow Commander, and even after SSC made some mods to the helmet, it still is not there. I decided to pass on it, waiting for HT. But that will never happen. A friend of mine is keeping his SSC Snow Commander for me, and when he gets home from overseas in a couple months I will get his in a deal. So I'll have the SSC Snow Commander in the end, but wish HT made theirs.
Very cool Snowies, the SSC is a very underrated figure. With some mods it can look almost on par with HT, and even has a few parts that are better than HT
Finally the elusive Sideshow Snowtrooper Commander joined my collection in a deal with a friend. I wanted Hot Toys to make their prototype, that didn't happen, so I missed on this figure, till now. It is quite cool, and is nice to see the differences between the Commander and the grunt Snowie - of course I have seen pics of screen used, but is interesting to see them manifested on a physical figure as well. In the high end world not many companies made this character, I can recall only Gentle Giant (a bust) and Sideshow.
He looks pretty nice. Not as good as the proto from HT, but still good enough.
Awesome figure and pic Jedi. Nice job getting out there in the real elements with your figures. Respect.
Very
nice
