Hot Toys Sandtrooper MMS 295

Somebody reassure me it's true.

You're fine. No, really, your Sideshow Sandie looks fine, there, now. Who needs a Maserati when you have Volvo? I mean, they serve the same purpose.

Dang. Those are nice pics.
I keep telling myself I'm satisfied with the SS Sandie. Somebody reassure me it's true.

Same here......just AMAZING....Finally someone doing SW true justice....

looks like the holster is attached to the belt on the HT stormtrooper figures...Is there a way to remove it from the belt and attach it to the sandtrooper belt?...

Matt

Nope. It's riveted to the belt. Your best bet if you wanted to do that, is slide the holster off the SSC TIE pilot belt. Personally, it would look wrong to me, as I'm a bit of a screen-accuracy guy, most of the time.

Honestly? I don't subscribe to the "newer is better" school of thought. There are a few examples where a new Hot Toys release isn't better than older or even somewhat "dated" products -- sometimes worse, sometimes merely "as good". This is not one of those examples.

I strongly recommend getting at least the one.

I agree with you in some cases, but even the SSC Deluxe Santrooper has pretty wonky fitting armor.....and the base body is floppy.....HT is superior in EVERY way on that one, except the lack of a magnet for the backpack

That's what I said.

Is there a way to attach the Tie Pilot one to the Sandtrooper though...Or no....

The TIE pilot holster slides on and off, it's not riveted, so you can get it on to the HT sandtrooper belt, no problem.

This was discussed a few pages back, by khaiscollectibles and a few members.

If you are an accuracy nut, then yes, you need to upgrade. HT's has the movie accurate helmet, armor and weathering. But if you just need a good representation of sandtrooper with no regards to movie accuracy the. The SS should suffice.

I'm sure someone will make a smarta$$ remark or say I'm crazy but I'm overall happy with the 3 I own. The weathering is heavy handed on the Commander and Sgt., but I still think they are well done figures and the bodies on mine aren't loose. The weapons stand up quit well as far accuracy and quality to the HT offering.

 

[preeny101]

I only ordered HT because I passed on the SSC way back when. Had I bitten, I wouldn't feel the need to upgrade, either. Six of one...

Here's some pics with the sand lizard. Big and beautiful. The HT trooper fits fine on it, such a stunning set together. Waiting on a couple more sandtroopers to mod and fill out a display.

 

[Aliaz]

I'm so jealous!

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Stunning pics.

Don't do it. You'll have an inaccurate Sandtrooper

Simple answer: get the Hot Toys Sandtrooper.

 

[cmiller99]

God damn hokietwo, that's an impressive display!

[Rainbowsteve]

Does anybody else have a loose ankle joint on their sandtooper? How would i go about fixing this?
