I'll be hitting the sixth scale lines pretty hard for the next 5 or 6 reviews - buckle in. Let's start it off with a very cool character from Rogue One: Chirrut Imwe. Hot Toys has done him up right, although there's still a few nits to pick. You can find my review here:

Thanks for reading!

Thanks for the review.

FYI I believe the packaging is also significantly different between standard and deluxe--only the deluxe comes with the golden five panel box & bone clasp. Not sure if that affects your opinion of the value of the deluxe.
 
Be glad your not paying Cdn prices... deluxe is 350 at shops here... That being said, awesome review as always!
 
Good review, excellent point on the one piece sculpt. A dynamic figure like this would've benefited from a 2 piece headsculpt. But I do think the deluxe is worthy of the price difference. All subjective of course, but the difference in price could easily be covered by the bonus weathered rogue one stormtrooper helmet. Not to mention the base & upgraded box, it's almost DX level.
 
That's funny about the Predator base... when it was first shown I assumed it was just a stand-in until the final base was created. Nope, just a straight reuse.

I will say that while the base is cheap, $25 isn't terrible for a Stormtrooper bucket... I'd imagine a loose one on eBay would set you back at least that much if not more.
