Hot Toys MMS385 Rogue One Death Trooper Specialist

[Niltusk]

That's commitment.

What if -- and I'm not saying I know anything -- but what if these hardened troopers have the voices of little schoolgirls? Just suppose. Would you still want 4? Won't they be annoyingly chatty in a girl-pack of four?

Imagine the one holding the white trooper doll saying (in 14 year old girl voice): This is sooooooo cute. I'm keeping him.

Its Star Wars. Its troop building. Who gives a fook what their voices sound like?

I'm such an addict. ..caught up in the hype and digging the shots of this showing up in here, I went and ordered this. It'll be here on the movie's opening day....

I seriously hope these guys aren't pushovers like the regular troops. I expect at least one good action sequence with them.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Fingers crossed for that, otherwise these boys will be forgotten like Shadowtroopers.

I'm thinking they only appear early (and briefly) in the movie when Jyn is just a child. Not getting the hopes up here but I do like the way they look.
Remember, the Snowtroopers appearance in ESB was brief but memorable. ..so we'll see. ....

I recall seeing a still of them flanking Krennic on what looked like a room on the Death Star, as well as shots of them on what looks like Scarif.

I've heard the childhood Jyn sequence is extremely short (10-15 minutes of the movie), so were they just relegated to the background there, they would be on screen for mere seconds.

 

[Niltusk]

I don't really get where this line of thought comes from? So, if they die easily or are not super troops no one will want them?

Because no one wants can't hit a barn with their blasters, fall down like dominos, Stormtrooper figures. Ever. Right?

Or... the other big trend seems to be worrying about screen time.

Yeah, screen time makes a character doesn't it? No one wants Cantina creatures or those stupid Bounty Hunters that barely appeared in the movies. They haven't made tons of toys and merchandising off of any of the small screen time stuff over the years have they? Honestly, I'd rather see an announcement for a kick ass HotToys Lando W/Lobot 2 pack than about anything from a new movie so far. Its Star Wars, not everything has to be a Luke, Han, or Leia and have tons of screentime to be wanted by fans.

But they were only on screen for a short time and didn't actually shoot anyone, surely no one would buy a Snowtrooper, right?

For me it's more if I like the movie or not that decides if I get the figures or not. So I'm holding off on ordering until Wednesday.

Really annoying that the specialist deluxe version is missing accessories from the other versions, pretty obvious cash grab. Is the specialist deluxe only missing the smaller rifle? Trying to take account of which part ill need to buy on eBay if I get the specialist deluxe

Good catch, I hadn't even noticed this, I just assumed the long rifle was in addition to the two weapons the regular came with.

Until I get the hot toys version, I had to pick up the Jakks big figs version.

 

[phobicsquirrel]

I'm hoping these get a two pack treatment like the other troopers.... though usually aren't they put up at the same time?

Are these shipping from Sideshow? Ordered one on Friday but it is still showing as a PO.

 

[Vader501]

Couldn't resist and just ordered one!! Can't wait to have it in hand!

I'm wondering this also

 

[CthulhuFett]

Mine shipped out the other day, tracking says it will be here thursday, just in time for the movie

I don't get why the deluxe version has such a long wait, I mean it's basically the same figure.

It has to be something with the Helmet or the stand. Otherwise, it makes no sense

This is true but whatever the reason I'm willing to wait, really love this figure!
