1/6 Sideshow Snowtrooper 2012

[FLOSI]

Emp is awesome from top to bottom. Good paint apps and the material used for his robe is really nice.

Can't wait!

This is one of my most wanted PFs.
Oh wait, there are both a 1/6 and a PF thread that are separate but the same. Something weird is going on!

No way, guarantee after having him on display for sometime, you'll be cursing the kama as it collects dust, and fuzzies. Its cheap material, even bly had better material.

I don't get my ass in a knot over dust.

[hrambo001]

Must buy for me. Def. my favorite of the trooper armors.

As I often think the key to success for Snowtrooper will be the helmet. Proportion, painting and weathering etc...

Those gloves look like real fabric, strange..is that what we get i wonder with this?, or its just crazy weathered plastic hands.

 

[galactiboy]

I would guess just very well weathered/painted. I can't imagine Sideshow would switch to fabric gloves. And personally I hope they don't I've yet to see a good looking pair of fabric gloves in 1/6. Some are decent, but I've always preferred sculpted.

They key success for any character is the face, and in this case the helmet. The face is the mirror of the soul of a real person too.

Gloves only look good in 1/6th if they are first tailored correctly to the bendy hands the figure comes with and secondly applied to the figure correctly as well.

The last gloved figure i bought was DAM Chalk Leader( i think) and once i got his gloves on nice and tight and pulled over each digit, they looked great and very life-like.

I think SSC is going to pretty much nail this one because the design is not asymetical like the Stormtrooper bucket and we know other companies have struggled with getting Stormtrooper helmets to look accurate as well but, Snowtroopers not so much.

Valfar, would you mind posting a pick of those gloved hands... just curious what they look like.

 

[Darth Cruel]

I am in agreement that I hope these hands are sculpted. Despite the fact that there are good fabric gloves out there...I am still for the sculpted ones.

 

[shockwave]

Whoa hopefully we will get more pics before ComicCon.

Another SW 1/6 scale fig ordered. My poor finances.....

 

[Craig77]

[Wor-Gar]
