It would take about five hours to scratch build that whole thing yourself.

I'm not handy nor creative so I hope Bandai can build make 1/6 vehicle model kits for things like this.

That would be cool. But with the image posted above, it would be pretty easy to make this yourself. It even includes the sizes.

Found this cool image that gives info about him.

This is the figure I want, get rid of the uber grime HT!

Launch Bay in Disney has a nice model that looks about true to size to this figure.

Yeah that would be super easy to scratch build with Styrene plates.

I wouldn't be surprised if that was made by HTs lol.

It’d be funny to see this same piece with a wicked Coronet street scene dio stand teased with the figure at SDCC - never to see the production line.

Sideshow would be the better candidate since they’ve made a speederbike.

Hot Toys would show it off but it would go straight into Howard’s private collection.

Howard is probably among the Freaks here. Reads the threads hearing all our wants and wishes, tells JC to whip up some “prototypes” and Boom, straight to the private collection.

Is this guy's pistol exactly the same as the ROTJ Biker Trooper ? Looks like it.

It is.

 

[Robianco]

It certainly looks like it. With the SSC one being slightly undersized I can see these being popular in places like TA for people who already own the SSC figure.

 

[Mike86]

Makes sense, these are basically just a variant of the Scout so they’re probably equipped similarly.

I’m gonna try to wait a couple weeks before POing this guy and see what else HT will release.
Is it Thursday/Friday (HK time) they usual put stuff up?

Re: Hot Toys Solo: A Star Wars Story Patrol Trooper

Which is a designator of some of the coolest SW OT characters/figures. I mean a character like Dengar is only seen onscreen as tiny in a very wide shot that lasts for maybe a second or two.

See here is thing, your argument is based on pure opinion, you like the design of the character so it's desirable right? What I'm arguing is that because it's a blink and you'll miss it in an era of Star Wars that is approaching over saturation that it won't be a demanded character similar to others offered up. It isn't like Dengar who has had years and years of sort of cult following like the other Bounty Hunters, its a character that people are going to have to decide to toss down $200 knowing more SW is on the way from the OT and from upcoming releases. Which is why I think you'll find this guy discounted even though he does look cool.

I wish a 1/6 AT-ACT Driver was on the table. It would pair so well with the Patrol Trooper.

 

[Hoody999]

Swap out the helmet and they look pretty damn identical if you ask me. So yes, they would pair well. Maybe that's their plan ??

Conspiracy theory.......

They could always just release this guy they teased too
