OK, I think we're approaching Iron Man territory.

Re: Hot Toys - MMS - Star Wars Ep.VII - First Order Stormtrooper (Jakku Ex.)

All they added that hasn't been shown yet is some kind of briefcase or backpack looking thing. Oh well at least the army builders will be happy.

Re: Hot Toys - MMS - Star Wars Ep.VII - First Order Stormtrooper (Jakku Ex.)

Big time. Same figure but with different accessories....

Re: Hot Toys - MMS - Star Wars Ep.VII - First Order Stormtrooper (Jakku Ex.)

i'd say this is now becoming worse than iron man. at least with iron man i can tell the difference in suits, be it color or shape. most of these storm trooper variants just have a different weapon or armor attachment

Re: Hot Toys - MMS - Star Wars Ep.VII - First Order Stormtrooper (Jakku Ex.)

Disney has given Hot Toys carte blanche to anything and everything.

Re: Hot Toys - MMS - Star Wars Ep.VII - First Order Stormtrooper (Jakku Ex.)

I'm okay with it. I may end up getting some of the Troopers including the Heavy Gunner and I like the sand base with this one more than the standard one. I do agree that they're going overboard with Trooper variants though.

Howard and Disney love themselves some reused parts.

Re: Hot Toys - MMS - Star Wars Ep.VII - First Order Stormtrooper (Jakku Ex.)

I don't really have a problem with it. I don't need to collect every figure and I don't see this having any major effect on release schedules.

I'm not really interested in this one especially because of the base though. It won't go with my other TFA figures at all.

Re: Hot Toys - MMS - Star Wars Ep.VII - First Order Stormtrooper (Jakku Ex.)

Right now, i'm wishing stormtrooper design isn't updated for episode VIII or else collecting those will become a real nightmare in no time.

I really hope they are not updated. I couldn't collect another new design wave of troopers. Not sure if I would want to. One would think these will stay the same with a few new special troopers thrown in during each movie. But a whole new design??? That would be depressing knowing all these were collected will only appear in one movie.

I have no intention of picking up any FTA Stomies, but I'm looking forward to seeing how people display them together. It'll be tough to make them distinctive, all the white could just blend together!

The pack comes with the snowtrooper, so nothing new at all.

Re: Hot Toys - MMS - Star Wars Ep.VII - First Order Stormtrooper (Jakku Ex.)

Christ... what is that, a new pouch around the waist?

Approaching? I think we're well and truly there now.

Re: Hot Toys - MMS - Star Wars Ep.VII - First Order Stormtrooper (Jakku Ex.)

These are the moments I feel relieved I'm only collecting OT Imperials with minor exceptions. LOL I feel for the TFA collectors and especially for completists

Re: Hot Toys - MMS - Star Wars Ep.VII - First Order Stormtrooper (Jakku Ex.)

Who is actually ordering all of these before seeing the movie?

Re: Hot Toys - MMS - Star Wars Ep.VII - First Order Stormtrooper (Jakku Ex.)

Who actually doubt about movie being a huge success?
