Hot Toys Star Wars Stormtrooper

[Mmmmm Napalm]

I'm thinking the term "Classic" might mean this isn't specific to any film and just Hot Toys' idealized version of an OT trooper.

The RoTJ trooper is anything but idealized lol

 

[JonEl]

To you....and probably most of us.

 

[jkno]

ROTJ TK is not idealized, in fact it is even more wonkier and more asymmetrical than ANH and ESB one

 

[TaliBane]

Yeah, I always hated the ROTJ look, but like Ewoks, I've come to like them over the years.

 

[jkno]

I like them, not as much as ANH or ESB, but I like them. Still not too fond of them in SE.

 

[Phastroh]

Man I am so glad they all look the same to me except the holsters location. I try my best to skip all the detail comparisons as it ruins it for me. 99% of people including myself just see a Storm Trooper. Whether you agree or not it truly is the best way to see them.

Why couldn't they just make all of them consistent lol

 

[Khev]

Maybe it's the floor of the bunker on Endor? Or the DSII floor.

That's totally a ROTJ Stormtrooper. No way. I can't believe they went out of their way to offer a variant that very few people would even recognize. That's awesome.

Shouldn't the helmet be all lopsided due to the mold collapsing?

Looks like it is. One glance at that dopey looking trooper and in my head I instantly heard:

"Freeze! Don't move!"

"Ah-ee-yaaah!"

 

[Wor-Gar]

They do look really cheap.... just like ROTJ.

 

[Adam1138]

Yep and that's what I crave for. An "Accurate" representation of each helmet. ANH, ESB and ROTJ I'll say it again, COME ON HT 3D SCAN THESE HELMETS IN THE LUCAS FILM ARCHIVES AND SHRINK THEM DOWN! Surely that's not beyond the realms of possibility these days!!??

 

[youbastards]

Hard to tell, but it looks pretty symmetrical to me in this pic.

Here's another:

Wait until you see their price...

I'm at work, and barely can see the pics, but this seems ROTJ not ESB. Black frown (mouth) is present on both ESB and ROTJ helmets, but there are tells showing this to be ROTJ. It has the cod piece with a U type trim, I would like to see the armor too, if it has the same trim, and the abdomen buttons. Blaster is MGC type (look at the scope, full scope rail, and flat muzzle), so that is definitely ROTJ.

Exactly. COD piece trim = ROTJ

 

[jkno]

Exactly. COD piece trim = ROTJ

MGC ROTJ E-11 blaster too:

the weird thing, to me, is that they used their original stormtrooper molds for the Battlefront figures, but the game designs are based on ROTJ, meaning this mold would be much more suited.

I was thinking this yesterday as well. Wondering if they made the ROTJ trooper to use for their BattleFront line, but then on the other side of the same table is the Jumptrooper using the ANH helmet. So now I'm thinking, like the Snowtrooper, they're releasing a trooper from ESB and ROTJ to show that those lines are indeed in the works and on the way.

The Snowtrooper is from Battlefront, not ESB.

 

[LoveMinusZero]

Whoa, is it really?!

 

[Cap'n Cook]

The Snowtrooper is from Battlefront, not ESB.

Source please?
