Really? I can't see how anyone can be annoyed about this, HT is completely giving people like us the finger and this is ROFL hilarious.

I feel like they are just making fun of us original trillogy collectors, this is so stupid!

 

[dmontane1]

But the pics and comments are funny as hell!

im glad you find it funny. i do not. its means longer wait times for the things we actually want.

i do find this thread funny tho. the figure is just the writing on the walls.....

Who came up with this idea and actually had the balls to pitch it to Howard? Unless it came from the big man himself, then who's to oppose him? Even worse is the fact that it was approved by not only Hot Toys, but Lucasfilm/Disney!!! How does this translate to a smart marketing decision?

Of course limited editions and exclusives have their appeal but this is just absurd. I've had my share of eye rolls regarding past figure variants but this one makes absolutely zero sense to me. And to those complaining about this taking precedence on the assembly line, while other figures are pushed back or put on hold, I'm in complete agreement with you. Just boggles the mind.

Howard is trying to use a mind trick on us

Chewy, I'm home!

Good one, lol.

Truly Ridiculous! My mum might want one though to go in her plate cabinet

Last year I said that the Stormtrooper would become the new Iron Man for HotToys. Someone said no worries theres only so many variant stormtroopers. Seriously, this is pretty damn low. Why make anything new when you can release Stormtroopers, gold, chocolate, now Grandma edition. Where the F is Tarkin? Han Stormtrooper? Lando? Jedi Luke?

 

[darth toffeeman]

WT... is this!?

I hope this isn't in Rogue One. The Jedah fine bone china gift shop trooper scene when chirrut Imwe trashes tons of cups and plates and this guy shouts "you have to pay for breakables!"

Up there with "I am your father".

My first reaction: Wtf?

I suppose different strokes for different folks though. I'm certain someone will get it.

I don't mind it, I think a country / culture specific series could be interesting. I like the idea of using trooper armor as a canvas like the Star Wars Legion Art Shows have done. I don't think I'll be getting this guy but maybe they'll be a future one in the series that will blow me away.

Well we all know they have a lot on their plate. It seems like we hear about new Star Wars releases doily. And no one can read the tea leaves here. But I am drinking the Kool-Aid.

This is my favorite bit in the description,

"this stylish and extraordinary interpretation of the Stormtrooper figure is a unique collectible for sophisticated fans and collectors.

 

[loki2371]

Actually, this would really only be funny if it was a fan custom someone did as a joke. But an actual production piece?!!??

After this I can't think of ANYTHING Hot Toys could EVER do to shock or surprise us.....
