Han and Luke as Stormtroopers - SDCC '09

icruise said:

No chance. Don't forget that these are armored figures, and may actually come with more than the Stormtroopers did (if they come with both the head sculpt and helmet, which I'm still a little doubtful about). The Stormtroopers are $90 apiece, so it doesn't seem too likely that these would be less than $175.

Now that we're deciding on price and other details, it would be funny if were totally wrong and these weren't coming at all.

I'm thinking $190-195.

Ideally here's what this set would look like:

Han - ANH Han head cast in translucent resin, Stormie helmet/head, binders, blaster and rifle.
Luke - ANH Luke head cast in translucent resin, Stormie head/helmet, commlink, grapple belt.

Price : $189.99/$199.99

Translucent Resin? anyone have an example? What benefit would that do? I have not heard of that before (I'm still a noob, I guess)

I imagine that would help give a lifelike appearance, but I am just guessing

I just can't see them being close to the same price as a STs (remember, those were prices from a year ago, $90) while coming with an extra head. My thought is $120 ea... ARRGHH! My wallet!

Let's all just pretend they will be $120 each. It will minimize the grumbling when the specs and lower price are actually released.

There's no way in hell they will charge $120 each. A stormtrooper by itself cost $90 its the same body just with a new head on it.

Im down for that. But wouldn't that lead to anger when we see the heads are just taken from the ANH Han and Luke unaltered, the bodies are equal height and have no extras?

I hope I'm way off base. I'm just preparing for the worst I guess.

anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering, suffering leads to pissy rants on a fan based message board.

I don't like this price guessing. I can just imagine the Sideshow reps reading this forum:

Dusty - "Wow, Brent, check this out. They are willing to pay $120 per fig! "
Brent - "Well, that's still less than what Hot Toys is charging. Hey Tom, let's up the price of the two pack to $240 and see what happens."
Tom - "Sounds good to me!"
