Premium Format New Stormtrooper Premium Format Figure

[darth dennis]

Wasn't planning on getting this, as I've got the first one. Then I saw the exclusive. Damn it!

Ditto. I'm not super picky, so the first Stormtrooper PF checked my necessary boxes, but this Han Solo is my favorite! It was the Kenner Power of the Force II Han in Stormy disguise that got me back into collecting many years ago...

Up for order.

The exclusive does suck for non-US collectors as it sounds like shipping from Sideshow is ridiculous.

True - I paid $128.20 for my Jean Grey Phoenix. But now Sideshow use DHL and no longer FedEx and for some unknown reason DHL only charged me a very small importtax. No VAT. Despite 40% extra in shipping I ended up saving 20% compared to what I would have paid if FedEx had delivered. Or if DHL had charged me the correct tax/VAT.

And as an extra bonus the $ is very cheap now, on the exchange rate I save 10% compared to 1 - 2 years ago.

There a Luke PF in stormtrooper armor out there?
There a Chewie with cuffs PF?

What other pieces does this go with, as in the Han version that is?

 

[Lumos]

I'd only buy this if they give us a Luke to pair him with.

They actually should have made the EX Luke, the oversized armor would have made more sense that way.

This is actually a good point. Not much to pair it with, and what are the chances of a differently posed version with a Luke EX?

Seems unlikely, which stinks.

This statue went right under my radar until I saw the newsletter just now. Ex ordered.

 

[JAWS]

The statue's bicep armor is too short, the armor around the neck is too wide open (looks like a gym undershirt), the shoulder bells should have a bit more meat on laterals. The armor also looks odd on legs with a lot of gaps. I don't care about the EX, it would sit in a box anyway. But if they don't fix the armor, no way I'm buying this.

BTW DynamicMenace made a photo comparison showing some things that could be improved:

I would buy the one on the right in a second.


Best Ex ever??? Maybe.

 

[sarakawa]

This might be the best EX of all time...

 

[Darth Snoopy]

I can't say that the Ex for this PF is the best but it's definitely the most surprising and unexpected Ex IMO.

Same. I want that one on the right lol

 

[TurdFurgusonsHat]

The Han likeness here is surprisingly quite good. Many times better than the bespin PF. Of course we will have to wait to see if they sideshow the production sculpt. Too bad about the armor.

For me is very simple: no fix = no buy. The chest armor looks like a gym tank top for girls

This might be the best EX of all time...

Too bad the rest of the statue looks quite bad alas...

 

[oneangrymo]

Looks good to me .. exclusive preordered.

 

[phobicsquirrel]

so they put a PO up with a han head but no info on the fixes for the armor? No thanks especially with that NRD.

 

[phobicsquirrel]

Damn!
Wasn't expecting that!!!

His armor shrunk in the garbage shoot... of course that was after this shot so not sure what else to say?
