Why would they make this???

Just ordered mine

Storm trooper variants aka the new Ironman lol

 

[Hologram AI]

Sideshow will have it. Asia will just have access to the version with a different stand.

Chrome would have been cooler, but I'm just relieved to see a figure come out that I have no interest in.

 

[Invictus Sol]

Dunno, that copper is a nice tone and I'm sure would look great in person. Ultimately too much of a novelty for me, though.

I have a hunch we'll see most metallic colors and shades available out there

I might get this depending on the price. I have a feeling it'll be fairly high given that it's an exclusive and with the copper chrome paint job. The Shadow Trooper was $220 so I'm betting this will be at least that or more in which case I'll likely pass.

He looks like he ought to vibrate.

 

[Denver5280]

Easy pass. Looks kinda cool though.

 

[galactiboy]

I don't get it, nor do I care for it. Just not aesthetically pleasing and seems like a dumb idea. If I had any notion of being a completist (which I don't since I didn't order the Shadow Trooper) this would have swayed me against

Good question, see below...

I guess HT is gonna go full iron man on star wars

 

[Mike86]

Trooper variants are too easy like Iron Man armors. Not really surprised that we're getting this and I'm sure it won't be the last repainted Trooper.

 

[DjBoogaloo]

Price is ￥28,000 here in Japan

[Darth Fok]

Looks cool, but it's an easy pass for me. If HT was smart they'd do another run on regular stormtroopers instead

Let them do a different type of Stormtroopers next: Rogue One version, ESB or ROTJ.

 

[Sidewinder]

They won't do regular stormtroopers again until they're all sold out at retailers, which isn't the case as a few places I know still have them at retail.

This isn't everyone's cup of tea, but then again we don't all have to buy everything HT makes now do we?

 

[koon]

Looks awesome, but they shoulda kept the Star Wars base.

 

[Invictus Sol]

Hmm, kinda like that the base is a one-off. Totally subjective but I was thinking if I were to display this it would likely be by itself and the base works in that limited context.

Centrocal's pics really illustrate how lustrous and appealing the copper colour is (IMO 10x better than the obvious go-to chrome), but I just can't rationalize it as an in-universe Stormtrooper (whereas Iron Man I would probably accept unquestioningly). Reminds me a bit of what Sideshow was doing with their bronze SW statues. It has some appeal, to be sure.
