I broke down and ordered the exclusive with the coupon. All of the pictures you guys posted on here with him firing the sniper rifle convinced me.
I have the Hasbro scout on bike and currently have him in the rear of my display. The bike is pretty decent and the scout is ok from a distance but up close you can really see the issues so this will be a great upgrade. Most likely keep the bike as it is and have him with the sniper rifle crouching in front.
For those asking, yes those pedals on the Hasbro bike are absolutely adjustable, they swing up. The Hasbro guy had his feet rubber-banded to these as his legs are really lame and poorly articulated and the hinge on those pedals is quite loose. Those rubber bands were disintegrating on mine (I got him unopened at SDCC last year for $60 so a great value for that). I will most likely replace them with small black hair-tie type rubber bands if I keep him on the bike. I will definitely put the new guy on there at least once when he comes and snap a photo. I know for sure that he can be sat on there better than the above pics of him with his legs rigidly upright. The Hasbro figure does not have much neck articulation either so I have him looking sideways as if he is coming along side another speeder to side swipe them.
The scout looks good with the Hasbro bike in this pic, just have to get the legs positioned properly and your good to go.

Thats just the trooper kick starting the speeder..........
Not sure what you mean by swivel point but here's a pic of the body. It does swivel at the hip/groin.

Interesting! So it does swivel at the top of the leg near the groin! But when I try to rotate mine, just to have the legs point out slightly, then just wont budge! So maybe they are just stuck a little. I wont try to force it though.
How easy is it to undress? I undressed the Hoth Han and Hoth Luke figures without too much trouble, so is undressing the Scout Trooper pretty easy too?
Somehow by 2015 we shouldn't be swapping bodies on brand new figures.

Pretty easy to undress. Chest armor straps are a bit tricky to put back though. If you wanna try and get that groin joint moving, i'd advise undressing the figure so you can have a better look at the joint. Got that same issue on a couple figures. Had to put the joint in boiling water to make it budge.
Exactly. That is why I get disappointed whenever I see one of these SW figures announced and its Sideshow and not Hot Toys making it.
Here's my review of the new Sideshow Collectibles Scout Trooper 1/6th scale figure. Overall, it's a fantastic addition to the classic original trilogy trooper collection! Hope you can check it out

Geezus, it's that tight is it?!? I might not bloody bother then lol!!! I was wondering if there were any tricky bits, and figured the chest armour and maybe the groin cloth part might've been tricky. Thanks again for the tips!
