Star Wars – 1/6th scale Stormtrooper (Porcelain Pattern Version)

[Asta]

There's going to be a Facebook Group:

"Hot Toys Porcelain Pattern Stormtrooper Owners Club - Anonymity Guaranteed"

While I think this might be a joke, if there is a market for it then I see no reason why HT shouldn't release. It's a repaint so it's not like they are spending a lot of resources on R&D. They could easily do an entire line of repaints.

I can't wait for the porcelain pattern Vader, R2, C-3PO, FO trooper...

I think I'm going to need an Austin Powers Sculpt to go with this or it's an easy pass! LOL

you are right, HT is aiming at the china market. but even the chinese are not buying this as
far as i know.

I'm not surprised. Far too many people simply can't comprehend the notion of not getting what they want all the time.

Current example? I give you all the invidividuals (namely the millennials and college kids) currently protesting the system of the Electoral College and petitioning that they change the rules after the game has already ended so to speak, so that way they get what THEY want.

Speaking of the apocalypse, can we put the Porcelain Stormtrooper down as another step on the way to its fulfilment?

Not sure if that's quite the argument being made in the streets, but this is not the place for that debate.

Well in all fairness, the critical piece is the drain on factory time to push something like this versus something we've all been waiting for like Poe or Stromtrooper Han.

I don't believe for one second that this Trooper is preventing the release of X-Wing Poe or Stormtrooper Han.

 

[DCFett]

Not saying it definitely is, but we know it's on some factory schedule, which likely means something else is not in that production slot. Deductive reasoning.

I'm 42 as well but at least I remember that 2nd and 3rd grade did NOT take place in the 70's. Unless you were a five year old 3rd grader which WOULD be deserving of a trophy.



I played organized sports from 1st grade to my freshman year in college. First grade was T-Ball and I might have some little trophy tucked away for that but I certainly didn't get any trophies from 4th grade on (Boys Club league) unless we ranked in a final tournament. But come on now, are you really going to argue against the notion of there existing an entire generation of coddled wusses like never before? Not speaking for everyone of a certain age obviously but geez just turn on the news at literally any given millisecond (or just read through the responses in this thread) if you doubt what I'm saying.

i was making a general ballpark statement. so my bad. it was 1981 when i was getting participation trophies.

i agree with everything you said. I'm just saying that all generations get trophies. all of them. now, when I got into 6th and 7th grade that non sense usually stopped. my son isn't in 6th grade yet so i don't know how they do things these days.

but yes, overall we are the US of wussies. no doubt about that.

the only reason i pointed it out was because i think all of us mid lifers forget we all got a trophy back then too. the trophy doesn't make you a *****. your parents do.

I don't collect Marvel stuff but I don't hate them for taking production time away from other unreleased figures I would buy.
