Clone Trooper Episode II 12"Image Thread

[shockwave]

The helmet is perfect. Design wise, my favorite trooper. Annoying thing is the loose joints are back. Am saying this based on my two figures.

Hmmm yeah the left arm/elbow on the figure seems loose compared to the right arm. I emailed the online store regarding this. However I haven't received a response yet. It's been 3 days, I will wait a good week.

Yeah left shoulder on mine is so loose I thought it was bust.

It will hold a pose (just) but any weight on it and it flops right down.

Love the overall look of the figure but just about fed up with these loose bodies.

I know some people say theirs are fine, and good for them, but I've got at least 11 armoured bodies now (that I can think of off the top of my head) all loose, won't stand, floppy shoulders, hips, ankles...

Can't believe I'm that unlucky!

I think someone posted in another thread that they would be happy to pay Hot Toy prices if you got the quality (now I know True types have thier issues too - knees/wrist pegs!) but I for one would pay more to get stiffer joints!

Thats sucky DG. Sorry to hear all are like that. I had to replace ankle joints on every SS armored I owned. Plus the arms and legs on some were even worse. They look so nice is the positive.

I finally got one of my Clone Troopers displayed with General Obi-Clone Kenobi (Obi-Clone has been in storage due to an extreme lack of display room at my house).

I am digging the way they look together. Adding clones to this display is an absolute MUST.

My two hold their pose quite well, no flopping. But then, I lucked out with Clonobi having relatively tight joints.

Just grabbed two of these (both for $65 each with GC) :chew.

Man, you are on a roll! Be sure and post some shots when you get 'em!

Thanks. Needed two to bookmark General Kenobi. Had that $25 from Facebook (5000 fans) and then had another card so I thought I'd grab them when I could-- $65 for these (and getting the SSC points) seemed pretty good as I figure they won't hang around for long. Going to pick up my Sandtrooper tomorrow and Lando should be shipped out tomorrow from SSC... Yep-- torrid pace right now playing catch up.

Well, I'm glad I held on to my Facebook gift card. I've picked up one of these with that.

When they reached 5000 fans on Facebook... Must have been about a couple of weeks ago.

 

[ProgMatinee]

not surprised these hit the GC eligible. AOTC sucks ass.

 

[Darth Cruel]

It always sucks to miss out on a gift card offer.

But I simply can not bring myself to "facebook". Not even for Sideshow.

 

[jedibear]

Right there with ya DC...no facebook or twitter here. NO!

I was forced into it... My friends from hs and univ never keep in touch through e-mail anymore... It's the only way to keep in touch.

Reluctant convert... Oh well--- at least I got a clone trooper for $65.

 

[Jaycepticon]

FB isn't so bad, I get to keep up with alot of old friends and family, plus a couple of boardies I don't "tweet" though

 

[Darth Cruel]

Amen, brother!

Touche, brother! I seriously want a couple more of these. And getting them at such a good price would be a coup! Hell...I could be happy with like 10 of these things.


But not unless gohastings lets them out for 33.00.

 

[JIMT1677]

I'm really regreting not getting this one!!!

 

[DarthNeil]

I'll be taking plenty of pictures with General Kenobi and his two new clone troopers on Friday.

 

[jedibear]

Lookin' forward to them!
