ThreeA: Stormtrooper

[Pixelpiper]

They're not trying to recreate Stormies, or re-invent them.

Does anyone actually think that?

Based on the strangely hostile feedback this has been getting, I would think yes. Otherwise why else would people be downright angry at seeing this interpretation?

.. because Ashley needs to pull his finger out and finish the ABC Warrior line (even if it's now only going to be 1/12 scale)


Cash grab Stormy.. kill it with fire!

Honestly, that pic looks like what Justin Bieber would think up, dressing as a 'stormtrooper' on Halloween.

Makes Jar Jar Binks look like a good idea.

The problem here is that we waited for Stormtroopers. But 3A gave us some hip-hop guys with awful Rubies helmets on just waiting to rob a bank

I think it's funny as hell!
As many complaints are goin on, I'm willing to bet anything it will sell out.....

 

[mortifactor]

It's only really here people are complaining, because here is a place of accuracy and recapturing things as seen on screen - stylisation is the antithesis of that, was same when 3A showed their Iron Man. I wish 3A could do proper full SW figs in their style (like prototyped years ago but shot down), in 1/12 would be good play things. Also 2000AD damnit, imagine those universes playing together.

I'm sure these will do fine for their intended market. I'm sure some of that market lives on these boards. Even if they are for an Ashley Wood 3A world I think they failed miserably. These could have gone more apocalyptic bad ass, but instead it some cheap movie bank robbers.

I mean, this is not the dumbest concept i have ever seen. That honor goes to Jar Jar; but its close

How did that, comma get in the middle there?

 

[RIDDICK]

Whatever floats their boat I guess.

The river of fecies, obviously.

Ashley Wood, the artist

River of faeces.

I liked the 1/6 Ro-Jaws figure from ThreeA.. however I would have released it last in the line, for the same reason Supermarkets do not sell toilet-cleaning products (or Sewer Droids) by the Entrance, because it sends out an undesirable subliminal message.. that, followed by the re-release of the two existing 1/6 figures at 1/12, before any new figures, appears to have pretty much killed the ABC Warriors line.. despite Ashley's claim they would continue with the 1/12 scale.

 

[Unclechopchop]

Any ideas of when this will come out and how much?

 

[eczamurai]

Looks like a custom figure made from random parts. Bleh.

A few weeks back ThreeA announced their "Star Wars Alternate" officially licensed line. And now this Star Warrior TK Sergeant is also official - $160 coming April 30th to Bambaland.

I'd be interested if it came in full body armor... or maybe if it came in a formal dress wear, like a suit and tie type deal. Ashley Wood loves his 1/6 cargo pants though, its a dress requirement in the world of popbot it seems.
