I was disappointed at first because the red is brighter than I expected like Boba Fett but still very happy with the figure.

Here's a quick photo with Vader. Will try to post more photos soon.

He's gone up a bit since I purchased mine, but $ 15.88 with free shipping is still unbelievable. They were $ 13.88 when I bought mine.

The problem with the bootleg sellers on eBay is they hardly ever show the actual product. They show the actual promo/production pictures of the actual figure. I'd be interested in picking up a 2nd bootleg Stormie to go with my original if it looks decent enough. Curious to see how he looks and compares.
 
So did everyone who got him get two?

I see them as escorts so really do need two. But, as IrishJedi said, I've also been getting the troopers in pairs. I just have this visual in my head of them heading off to battle along those narrow Japanese trails in a two by two caravan.

That said, the increased cost of the exclusives and the plummeting aussie dollar are making it really hard to continue this way.
 
I don't know what Tamashii is afraid of but a Luke Rotj version should have maid it to prototype by now.
 
I know we've heard of prototypes for non-armored characters but I'm not sure those will ever happen. You've got to remember that even though Star Wars is a global franchise, this is a japanese company and it aims its sales at the japanese market first and foremost (as Bandai always does), and as such it goes for what is very popular in Japan. Armored characters are their main business, be it Saint Seiya, various Super Sentai series, etc.. Now they also do Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, Star Wars and other series in a smaller scale, but it looks like their main strategy is to go for armored character variants at this point, and even recolors (Jango Fett). I wouldn't be surprised if we get a snowtrooper or a scout trooper, or maybe clones (ugh).
 
Well....damn. I bought one Guard but now I'm very tempted to get a second. If I see one in my travels to Japan or Hong Kong, I think I might have to scoop another.
