50% off Medicom Shock Troopers!!!

[Rook]

I just got my first look at my twin Shocks, and they looked amazing even in the box. Unfortunately, I have to work until 3 a.m. now, so pics and my full review will have to wait. Too bad, too, because I'm looking forward to testing these posing limits.

I got off work early. So I had time for one pic. Only one. Sorry. Here it is...

I love this figure alot, but.. I set this up next to my koto shock trooper and it makes it look like crap. I think medicom got the colors off, it's way too " red"? All of the weathering on the armor and his white parts are perfect? It's an ok figure, but for medicoms prices, I think I would go for a custom kitbash clone. Don't get me wrong, I bought into the 50% too, but it just seems like too much money for the payoff. It's my opinion, don't hate me!

Oh, I so hate you... :emperor

Watching the movie, I don't think that the colors are off. I do think that the soft plastic tends to give them a bit of a toylike quality that's going to be lacking in Sideshow's armored figures. And that soft armor makes it vulnerable to indentations from the stand clips, so be careful there.

On the plus side, the softer armor means that I was able to really dig into finding new poses without worrying so much about breakage. So that was a smart decision on the part of Medicom. I think that Sideshow solved the poseability problem by creating larger gaps between the plates (if Obi-wan is any indication).

I'm really anxious to see Sideshow's offerings to compare the two.

[Rook]

Yeah. I just thought, "At that price? Why not?"

Two more pics, with the custom assault rifle I got from eBay.

I don't know if anyone cares, but personally I find that SSC stands work great for these and the Medicom stands work great for the female SSC figures.

I agree... that sux! But you can still get one of the yellow EP II clone commanders for an ok price:

They still have plenty of these. Or just wait until they go on clearance (if ever...)

 

[automaton]

Yeah. I just thought, "At that price? Why not?"

i am happy the rifles worked out for you... they look awesome.

I don't know if anyone cares, but personally I find that SSC stands work great for these and the Medicom stands work great for the female SSC figures.

I buy extra Sideshow stands for all my custom SW figures just for uniformity.

As a sidenote, the long rifle really looks great with the Shockie! Is it resin or plastic or ?

 

[Rook]

I think it's resin. Not sure how to tell them apart, really. But the guns are heavy as hell.
