Im disappointed that even after all this time, they didnt fix the stormtroopers black feet joints for release.

Originally I also bothered about that friend, but after seeing the Chinese trailer several times I realized that in fact they have black ankles after all:

Yeah, I think the designers/artists for Rogue one were trying to streamline the design since the under-suit shows in all the other gaps besides the ankles. I think their decision makes sense, and since this is a Rogue One version stormtrooper I guess Figuarts was even correct leaving out the holster this time. Something tells me from their attention to detail lately that they would have added a holster a la the upcoming Han Solo swap out holster. Overall I am so excited to get this figure! Will look amazing with the Mafex Rogue One Vader later this year. Or better yet Figuarts will announce a proper Vader.

I've had my payment request from amiami for Stormies and hovertank commander

Me too, I emailed them asking to combine it with my December order that's held up due to Mafex phasma.

Just FYI, Medicom's site now says March 2017 for Phasma, and who knows how firm that date is even. Just in case you didn't know.

These troops are looking seriously good to me!!

 

[12parsecs]

Wow!!

 

[matkron]

Thanks to Orbital Frame, I saw these too!! May be selling my original troops lol. The new ones just look more accurate in every way. It's a completely different sculpt, even the color is different.

Totally agree.

Nice!



Totally agree.

Ah sorry about that! Throw your post back up, you had more photos haha!

 

[Smudger9]

Wow. Glad I ordered 4!!! They look amazing, and slightly taller!

Hot damn.

If only they would give us a R1 Vader!

On that new Stormtrooper, I still want to yank that belt down a bit, but I get the feeling that it is fused to the codpiece portion of the armor.

My order for the Hovertank Commander and the Stormtrooper shipped this morning from CDJapan, using SAL. So, that means I'll get it in February. LOL!

Ah man.

You don't think it's loose like the others? Haha worth the wait!

Honestly I'm not surprised. I have a feeling (not from the force) that maybe Kylo Ren will be delayed as well......

 

[Big Deano]

Wow, I hadnt actually noticed the rogue one stormtroopers had the black ankles! That changes things, and I should have known better of Tamashii xD
