STORMTROOPER PF officially in development!!!

[sharpnel]

Thanks guys for the compliments. This is my first SW PF. For me, I think the stance is iconic. I grew up with Star Wars, but not as hardcore as some of you. The helmet doesn't bother me at all. My only wish is that they add lens on the eye pieces to give it a nice glare.

Just wanted to add a 2nd stormtooper to my collection (I know the helmet discussion bla bla, but the price was very attractive).
This was a "new" and unpacked stormtrooper and I asked the seller if he can provide me some pics, because a lot of them arrived damaged back in the day.
So while receiving the pics I recognized that the stormtrooper didn't match with the color of my stormtrooper. My stormtrooper is ... let's say simple white ... and his stormtrooper had this little yellow shine on it.
I asked the seller if this is only on the pics and sent him a picture of my stormtrooper. He confirmed me that they won't look nice together because they have a different "white", his is more yellowish than mine.

Pretty disappointing, sideshow ...

I have one for sale for $285 shipped in the US if anyone is interested. Been on display, but in pristine condition. Comes with all packing materials.

I haven't seen this yet. I bet it wasn't new and that guy is a smoker.

StormTrooper Premium Format Figure Review

Made a HD video review of this figure.

See Sideshow Premium Format Figure Review

I think it looks really nice, but the armour is more an ivory colour as opposed to bright white. Personally, I would have preferred white. Thoughts?

My Stormtrooper is a nice shiny white. Next to my Clone Trooper PF, he appears even cleaner.

That's interesting. Standard premium format? I wonder why the one I looked at was like ivory colour then. Anyone else?

Nice Review and the yellowish/ivory "variation" is good to see in the Video!

I didn`t have the Stormtrooper yet, but as i heard, the different batches (as the Stormi is an open edition)
changed from clean white (first release) to an ivory color with the later waves of produced Stormtroopers....

Yeah, I have a photo but the lighting isn't great. I'll try to get a good one showing color.

Merged threads.

Are all of the second release versions of this statue off white/Ivory? It seems weird to me that they'd do that..., Stormtroopers are definitely white in the films, there's no denying that! Off white or Ivory suggests bad paint apps or sun bleaching, my statue is very much white & that's exactly how I expect it to look too..., it's a few years old now & hasn't gone a funny colour so I'm happy with it still, if it changed from the bright white colour I'd not be impressed to be honest SO I'm now curious as to what Sideshow are saying regarding the second release of the standard stormtrooper premium format? As it looks very much white on their website. :/

Not sure why they would make the new one yellowish...

 

[Spawn_de]

Maybe some Chinese worker peed in the paint barrel. This whole situation only shows again sideshows current QC negligence, it seems that they don't care what happens in their manufacturing fabrics.

I just ordered one of these. Stupid Black Friday/Cyber Monday.

 

[geekfreak]

Anyone else order this lately and receive a yellowish one?

 

[Fritz]

I should have mine tomorrow. Hopefully it's not yellow?

 

[geekfreak]

How does it look Fritz?? White or not?

 

[Spectral]

Any new production is yellow .....

Shame on Sideshow

I didn't get a chance to pick it up yet. I'll get it tonight but if it's yellow not white, I'm returning it. Picture on the website is white, not yellow.
