Hot Toys The Force Awakens Exclusive Stormtrooper Squad Leader.

[Futurion]

I was happy to see the Squad Leader in the first minutes of the movie.

I really like these new troops after seeing the movie. Glad I bought some.

Anyone in the UK who have ordered through Collectibles Direct check your inboxes as In Stock emails have been going out for payment.

I'm surprised this guy hasn't sold out yet.

I am sure they made lots and all the reviews about really poor articulation are not going to help sales...

Interesting contrast...

True, but the articulation is not horrible. Yet understandably restricted due to the under suit. If I had choose between more movie accurate under suit which sacrifices articulation some or use cloth and have more articulation then I'd choose more movie accurate.

I don't remember seeing any extreme poses in the movie either. The only thing a stormtrooper did in the movie that maybe difficult to replicate would be kneeling.

Only issue for me with the undersuit it arm movement....specially, in the right arm - so tight, my armor cracked......argh!

 

[Stealth V3teran]

I got mine today..these have really grown on me this past year and after seeing the movie. He's a lot easier to get into at attention pose than jakku(thanks to the vest)

some shots

Got rid of the padded undersuit and elbow padding. So much easier to pose!

Some quick pics......

 

[LoveMinusZero]

How loose is the armour without the padding? Does it feel there is more risk of the elbow tubing getting ripper without the elbow padding there?

The day is here, gentleman.

Booty-full shots there!

So many variants...too little Hot Toys funds to go around!

How hard was it to get the armor undersuit and elbow padding off? I love this pose.

Here is my guide to do it.

Nice work TK0083, the lack of posing options killed my gusto for these figures. It is tempting to remove the under suit but if I read correctly you need to break a piece of armor.....?

You just need to cut through a black strip. It is not that hard to do. You will see the seam on the abdominal armor, put the knife into the seam and just cut down. It won't break it and still goes on the trooper and stays tight since there is another black strip on the opposite side holding the armor together.

I might look into it....the posability is great
