1/6 Sideshow Star Wars Scout Trooper 1/6th Scale Figure

[Puay]

No PT figs for me.... Bring on the Scout!!

So pumped.... The next year should be amazing. Hoth Han and Luke, Tauntaun, Probe Droid, R2, X-Wing Luke, Biker Scout and Speeder!!

Don't think it's coincidental that the 3 recent announcements: X-Wing Luke, C-3PO and Biker Scout are figures consisting loads of reusable components.

Makes a lot of $$$ sense for SSC. I am not complaining since I will most definitely be getting every subsequence release that follows.

Man, that would certainly be the cherry on top if an HT Han is announced at SDCC. Had to dig out my HT Luke from storage yesterday, to check something, and it really is an incredible release for $300.00. Hard to imagine that they be that generous w/Han, but if they nail the likeness I won't really be too concerned.

I thought pricing for HT Luke was reasonable, given the fact that there were 2 figures.

Not sure loads is the right word. One additional Biker Scout from Ep III and a 4LOM body (maybe another 3PO type droid but nothing anyone needs) and do you really think they'll make a lot of pilots? Luke Hoth Pilot as a con exclusive and maybe at best Wedge. And I doubt Wedge.

Remember all the uses for those Praji/Piett Imperial uniforms? Yeah? Well, where are they?

The Biker Scout & Kashyyyk clone have different armour proportions & completely different helmet contours / eye lenses, so unless they're going to be lazy - they should be making two entirely separate figures.

It's like saying that the Galactic Marines & the Snowtroopers are the same, when they're not.

I really hope this paves the way for some Ewoks! I would buy a ton of those.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

Going by how the new HT Rocket Racoon looks, nicely sculpted short fur is totally achievable.

I could see a kitteh freaking out over an Ewok in person.

...and then being promptly eaten!

I have a though time deciding which I want first, ewoks or a Jar-Jar/Jake Lloyd Anakin two-pack. Throw in Shmi Skywalker and aunt Beru into the mix and it gets even more difficult.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Rumor is that HT gt Arnie kim to sculpt a Harrison ford head for them. [ REDACTED] has appearently seen it, as well as the new C3p0.

I'm hoping he managed to get a better ford likeness than his last attempt.

Interesting.

GREAT to see this finally announced! I loved the PF piece but the fact that you couldn't have both hands on the handlebars really bugged me because I LOVE the look of the Biker Scouts when they've holding on for dear life and leaning forward towards the handles. Can't wait to display them like that!

Truth of the matter is, at the speed those bikes are supposed to travel, you really would be holding on for dear life (I had a custom motorcycle and the wind resistance on your chest, shoulders and arms at speed, is very noticeable).. and the helmet shape (air scoop) is impractical for the same reason, wind resistance would try to tear your head off backwards.. but.. I dun care.. because it's an iconic design!.. WANT!

After the poorly received Indy sculpt why would they go back to Arnie Kim? If it is in collaboration with Sideshow why not just go to the master, Grove?

Simply because he did a Ford sculpt before. The same can be said about Kojun who has worked on RDJ's sculpt dozens of times and has yet to get it right.

 

[Cavlcade]

I always assumed his split with HT was because of that sculpt, I guess he could just be freelance though. If he messes up this one it's going to be a massive disappointment.

 

[The Chev]

While I'm pumped for a DX Han Solo, does this mean Anakin has been scrapped? Last time Hot Toys talked about it was supposed to be very close to being done.

 

[jra81984]

Oh come on think of the fun display value! I would absolutely purchase some hero ewoks.
