Sideshow Stormtrooper 12" figure

[Puay]

Either that or the long rifle that some of them were carrying, if my memory serves me right ANH is the only film in which the stormies have those long rifles.

I just wish he comes with the long rifle as a regular accessory. This won't be an exclusive item, we will be needing that for the Sandtroopers.

For the Sandtroopers we'll be needing: MG-34 (long rifle), MG-15 (rifle with saddle drums) and of course Lewis (the big gun)

I heard Ex stormie comes with the short blaster (see pic)

Did this short blaster make any screen appearance?

 

[SpawnFan]

Oh crap waitaminute!!

I will be on vacation in Orlando when the Stromtrooper's pre-order goes live!

Damnit...I guess I'll have to be near a pc at that time.

Not that I know of, it was used on promo shots only...

Actually I believe that this blaster shows up in the Cantina scene in ANH. It's the gun that either the Walrusman or the other dude fires at Obi Wan.

Maybe, but not in the hands of a stormtrooper

That's true.

Still a fun accessory... probably buy one exclusive from Sideshow and a regular later on. Either off a retailer or look for a deal on the secondary market. I predict a flooding of these.

 

[DarthNeil]

I'm buying two at least-- but I can do with the regulars.

I'm hoping they are more poseable than the Medicom versions. I don't have a medicom stormtrooper but I did get the medicom 501st legion trooper and although the figure under the armour is very articulated, the armour gets in the way of posing the whole thing. In actual fact, the poseability of the medicom figure was severely dissappointing and really turned me off from them.

Sideshow products I've purchased have made me nothing but happy so I plan on get one or two stormtroopers but I really, really hope the awesome looking armour does not hurt their poseability.

$80 each? I'm getting two *minimally* then, and quite possibly 3 or 4.

Did the troopers in the movie have blue on their helmets? I thought they were all just black and white.

Yep, that helmet is 99% accurate.

 

[Darth Waller]

I have always loved the stormtrooper design. This figure looks great!

Agreed. I have both the Medicom Stormtrooper and Clone Trooper. Articulation of the base body is good but the complete figure has quite poor poseability due to the body armor getting in the way. I hope Sideshow takes note of this because there is still time for correction prior to mass production.

They had blue there, but it wasn't the light blue that it looks like in this picture. Could just be the flash.

My main problem with the helmet is that they didn't paint the "mouth" part completely black. Looks a little off. Couldn't be easier to fix, though, even if the production models are like that.

I don't own any of them. How is the armor attached to the figure??

The base figure wears the armor pieces. The only piece that I couldn't get off was the abdoment/crotch armor and the bicep piece, either its real tight and need some heat to get off or its glue on. everything else you can take off quit easily.

BTW, I don't know if it's been mentioned on here or not (I haven't been online since the trip) but the Stormies shown here at SDCC are PRODUCTION samples.

I pre-ordered my full allotment.

So are these ready to go once ordered??
