Any available new anywhere? OT or Rogue one? Thanks!! Have $100 in points for SS but don’t really want to drop $140 for Han in disguise. Don’t care about the Han Part. Thanks.
The Han portrait is a bonus. This is a better offering than the first OT and R1. Get it while it’s available. The backdrop and Han portrait make it a better offering. Besides OT>R1.
Get the Han. Although the tallest outta all versions of Stormtroopers I think he looks the best proportioned.
Edit: Plus he comes with some really cool ****
I had the R1 and sold it to buy the OT one. I prefer it much more, however, everyone has a valid point on the Han, so I would probably go that route since you have so many SS points.
Stormtroopers are what got me into this insane hobby.
I own or have owned most 1/6 renditions. The Han-in-Disguise is the best OT option to date in that it has the best proportions, and if you care to part it out, you'll make back some of the price selling the backdrop and headsculpt. It also has the advantage of being available for retail right now. While a very, very good figure, the helmet has some inaccuracies that may or may not bother you, but it's a high-quality rendering of an OT hero-style helmet.
I really enjoyed Rogue One, and they did a great job on the sixth scale stormtroopers for that film, but if you're a stickler for OT, they won't cut it. I for one quite enjoy the upated look, and strictly in terms of accuracy to what was seen on screen, the helmet is done better, but they are quite different to what we saw in the original trilogy.
The Han-in-Disguise is also a little more posable than the Rogue One troopers, which have a little more padding under the armour and around the joints to reflect the updated costume.
Good luck with your sale, between the portrait and the stand, you should practically have enough to pick up a R1 Stormie, then you won't have to choose, just enjoy both.
I love the R1 Stormies. They have become my fav versions. Sure, I miss the slightly asymmetrical hero helmet from the classic movies, but they updated them nicely. I expect to see more R1 type stormies in Solo: the movie
If you are going for the new ones (Rogue One), you might want to wait and see if they have and POs for ones in the Solo movie as it will be cheaper than the after market RO versions.
