Sideshow Stormtrooper 12" figure

[The Josh]

Yeah, I'm really going to have to go back and pick one up.

 

[IrishJedi]

I cannot wait for these. I think Sideshow's knocking them right out of the park.

I know there are other details that distinguish the stunt from the hero (most of which I don't know). I am simply going by the height of the black band above the lenses. I always thought the stunt helmet had the band higher and the hero helmet had the band lower closer to the lenses. I know there are other width differences and no I can't see those either. Guess, I'm wrong by using that to make the statement that it looks like the stunt helmet, sorry.

Didn't mean to sound like an ass, sorry if it sounded that way.
I was just stating that I am, indeed, incapable of noticing the differences.
As for the lower brow, I think that was a difference from one movie to the other, and sometimes poor placement in ANH's stormies.
I saw a pic once where the brow is pushed way up and looks pretty stupid. Kinda like Vader's off-kilter helmet aboard the Tantive IV (I think).

No offense taken at all. I'm not as schooled as others about the differences in the stunt vs. hero either. I should have just said it was different than the others. It sure would be nice if the helmets on the production pieces were a little different like that. I ordered an exclusive and a regular and it would be nice if they were a little different like those pictured. I was glad to hear that they are considering releasing the Stormtrooper again in ESB and ROTJ versions. I honestly didn't think SS would do that.

I have a feeling it won't be too hard getting rid of this first wave of stormies.. just because most of us want at least 2..

but with the economy, i'm stopping at 2 for right now. So hopefully later down the line, when they release other versions, we will all have recovered a bit.

I think it is actually a pretty good move to not make this an even bigger run as it is. It's not that cheap, and even though most of us would love to army build right now.. we probably can't.

I still plan to get 8. I thought about canceling 2 of them but I decided to keep them all.

wow.

doing well i take it? :chew

 

[Sachiel]

Anyone notice that the helmet on the trooper on the far left looks more like the stunt helmet than the others. I guess those are just all prototypes so guess they are supposed to look different. Just thought it was interesting.

I see it.

Maybe that's the sandtrooper? Just without all the sand and gear.

 

[FlyAndFight]

Has anyone gotten a pre-auth for the Stormie yet?

nope. i'm not expect it till around thursday.. sideshow does crazy things with my bank account..
they pre-auth.. it sits there for like a week.. then dissappears for a week..
then i get the item..
and then the next day, the money comes out of my account..

not exactly what i'm used to!

 

[Dally]

Has anyone gotten a pre-auth for the Stormie yet?

No, but I pre-ordered from Alter Ego Comics. I wonder how long it will take them to get these in after they are released.

 

[FlyAndFight]

It used to be that the online dealers got their alottment after Sideshow started shipping. But lately it's been the other way around with some of the figures.

 

[Darth Madden]

Nice to see they got that hidious looking cape liner right.

 

[pixletwin]

cape liner?

 

[The Josh]

Went ahead and jumped on the WL for a regular stormie.

 

[Darth Madden]

cape liner?

The inside of the cape... the 60's carpet looking stuff.

 

[pixletwin]

Are you talking about Lando? Stormtroopers don't wear capes.

Ah, ok. I wonder how this one will work.

 

[EVILFACE]

At least know what you are slamming, or else you look even dumber.

 

[FlyAndFight]

Yep, wrong thread.

Does anyone know if the new body used on the Stormie the same size as a standard Buck or the Pro (as used on Indy)?
