Hot Toys Star Wars Stormtrooper

Guessing Spacetrooper sales are about to get a bump.

I had a feeling that these guys would sell out. They are simply too popular and a multi figure item for most collectors of SW 1/6 scale. Im sure there are some that only have one Stromtrooper but I bet the majority of us have at least two.

My guess is that HT will produce more of these guys. There is no way they wont do a second run of them if they are profitable. Might not be a lot, but another 500 or so? Easy money.

Received last Monday from Darren of Collectablekitbash.co.uk, thanks for your patience and great service!:

-MMS 268 - STAR WARS – Stormtroopers

After a long period of waiting because of delay after delay, I finally received this truely awesome looking set.
They look great, pose up nicely and are just really enjoyable to have for every Star Wars fan.
I only have one minor problem, and that there is a small scratch on the right leg of one of the troopers, and with a white shiny armor, it gets noticed quite quickly.
And that is also the only downside I have with these figures, due to the nice white armor, the crotchgrabbers can cause some damages to the crotch and inside of the legs.
I saw some black marks, but thank god It was superficial, and I found a way to remove them, but best becareful of that!

Took some fun pics, please enjoy them!

Hilarious! These poses remind me of Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum in 21 Jump Street or those two clowns in Lets be cops!

On one of my troopers, some of the armor, especially the shoulder pieces, just doesn't seem to sit well. There's also some type of fabric sticking out from the sides of the little "over the shoulder bits" that connect the front chest plate to the back plate. I was thinking about taking all of the armor off and just starting from scratch, but do I have anything to be worried about, especially not being able to put the armor back on? The instructions say to not remove the armor, but is this really a problem?

Thanks,
Kevin

Thanks!, while posing them up, I myself was thinking about those Robot Chicken Star Wars sketches, love those things.
These guys are really fun to pose up.

Well, I bought a few pieces of armour loose, so I don't think it is much of a problem if you do it carefully.

Spacetroopers and Sandtroopers and Luketrooper are still to come and are alternate ways of getting more Stormies.

Also, when Hantrooper comes out.

Has there been photo evidence that the Luke trooper can indeed be easily swapped into a standard issue stormtrooper? I know the item description uses the term "interchangeable" but the pics almost seem to suggest otherwise.

No. But I doubt it would be too hard to make the conversion.

After opening the Single pack, I decided to leave the 2pk alone. When I opened him up, my initial opinion was that he was chunky.
He sure is a lot more stable than the SSC version, glad I sold that one off. I know I'm in the minority here, and I know everyone loves these guys, but I just don't see the value. $200. Umph Da.

 

[abake]

I don't have one, but I see more value there than in the Leia figure...

That's not a Leia figure above it's some ape

LOL, I think she said something similar when she was asked about her 90's POTF figure sculpt.

My bad!

Postman delivered my first of two Stormtroopers. It is waiting for me at home.



6:30pm cant come fast enough. Excited to set the ST up behind my SSC Deluxe Darth Vader. Eventually I plan to make a custom diorama to look either like the Tantive V corridor or an Imperial Death Star corridor. Either way would look awesome.

Cant wait for the second ST to ship and arrive.

 

[Invictus Sol]

Instead of these giant dios, would be nice if HT made light-up Death Star corridor panels. Would look super iconic behind the figures.

 

[Wor-Gar]

be nice if HT made light-up Death Star .

All you need to say.
