Hot Toys Star Wars Stormtrooper

Re: Hot Toys Stormtrooper.

Good good. I like the time between announcements. Only had to wait a few weeks for the next set of figures. I'm thinking Ben and Darth Vader are next. Seems like they're going one movie at a time.

I'd really love it if they'd release an ANH Special Edition Boba Fett. It's my favorite look out of them all.

Re: Hot Toys Stormtrooper.

What will they improve on Vader over SSC last deluxe Vader to warrant another Vader purchase?

This was covered in the Vader thread.

No Special Edition nods, please.

Re: Hot Toys Stormtrooper.

Is HT focusing mostly on ANH next year? Are they working chronologically on the OT?

I actually don't know, my info comes from a insider at Disney who handles SW marketing and merchandising. All things OT will be pushed hard in the next year. I just knew HT was getting the SW license and I know of a few characters I mentioned before that are solid and coming. So that I say with certainty, as for the other characters HT is working on I know of concepts and who is on drawing board so to speak, and I said before, if they are popular, count on HT to visit them. I do not have any info on release dates and the order in which they release. Based on what I had heard I thought for sure Vader would be next, but that is between HT and Disney. I can say with certainty just be patient and save $$$.

ANH does seem to be their focus right not though....

These look beautiful.

For the "person" who said that (A) Hot Toys would not thread on Sideshow's toes, (B) That Hot Toys would not get the Star Wars license and finally (C) That Hot Toys releases would not be in anyway better than Sideshows, I say this.. ****.




Han, Chewie and some troopers? Time to sell your existing Star Wars figures gents.

Not once Disney erases them and releases the originals.

What will they improve on Vader over SSC last deluxe Vader to warrant another Vader purchase? Not a shot to your post, but a legitamate question? I own both SSC Vaders, what would make you want to purchase a 3rd? ANH SSC Vader to deluxe I see, but SSC deluxe to HT's Vader? Now a DX ANH Vader and Ben 2 pack with with nice back drop of death star hanger and Falcon in the back ground

Better sculpt, sound effect already must have for me.

Disney pretty much rules the world at the moment. Hot Toys will do what Disney wants regardless of what Sideshow would like.

I dunno....That is a pretty dramatic height difference for it not to be Han / Luke.

The shorter one has 4 extra hands versus the taller one which has 5. I can't tell if any of the smaller hands are different , in the sense that they can hold a com link or a grappling hook?

Re: Hot Toys Stormtrooper.

Are they 1/4 ? or 1/6?

Re: Hot Toys Stormtrooper.

Very awesome, height difference is very noticeable. I will go with the Han and Luke guess. Love that they are including a mouse droid.

Who gives a **** about which version LFL considers canon? Star Wars and SW:SE are two different movies. I only want figures from the first film, the 1977 Best Picture nominee, not the 1997, 2004, or 2011 revised edition.

That's fine and dandy but I only want figures from George's complete film from 1997, not the rough cut he rushed out in 1977 that old timer's can't let go of

Wow, I assumed this would be a speculation/question thread with an ill-advised noob title

But these are real. Ok....so, how long do you get before they turn yellow?

With the shiny finish? I am thinking they will do just fine.
