What do you all think is the likeliness of a hot toys rerelease of the stormtrooper with ESB armor?

Based solely on their Iron Man releases I'd say very.

It would be great if they did.

And it's an easy way to always have current new product to make more money so I would say it's almost a given.

They do so many versions of the IM armours...I'm both excited and fiscally concerned regarding the possibility of variable stormtrooper helmet sculpts in this line.

1. Hero
2. Stunt
3. Sandtrooper(s) (variable weathering and brow trim)
4. Luke/TK-421
5. Han
6. ESB
7. Battle-Damaged
8. ROTJ

...and that's just the OT.

Nice setup! Rebel soldier in submission and I never though of posing Emperor Palpatine with his holocron.

I wonder if these bodies would be good for the marmits TTM18 TTM19 knockoff bodies

I used a knockoff tt for my sandie when the original body broke fit is good, not sure which one though

[...]Rebel soldier in submission[...]

As he should be. Rebel scum.

I did a body swap on my Snowtrooper. I used a Soldier Story body, pretty pleased with the results.









Here he is with a stock Sideshow trooper on the right.

Nice! Those bodies hang more naturally and bear a better resemblance to screen references.

That body swap looks great. Any negatives in terms of parts not fitting or extra mods needed?
And do you mean this body?

Painting won't work. If you comb through the snowtrooper thread, I think Lopie did it by cutting the holes out wider...he related that it was not an easy mod.

I think switching out the masks and body-swapping is the best and easiest way to mod these. Smaller hands via a glove-swap /repaint would also be relatively easy if you're brave enough to trim or file the hand armour.

The goggle mod is the last and probably most difficult mod one could do.

Nice army of snowies you have Replacing the masks certainly improves the overall look

Might do a body swap on mine now,yours look great! The stock body is just plain horrid and a nightmare to pose. Love your sandies in the background

Love the look of the Sold Story body on the arms but the SS bodies are a bit short in the torso, and the bunching of the armor on the snowie is one of the key issues.

The stock body really is a very difficult to work with. Overall, it's a figure that bugs me more and more the longer I look at it. It just seems like it should look great but I can never get to actually look great.

I really want to hand make a new dome and goggles and make the custom hood, but I keep looking at the stock head and say "I guess it's fine for now."

 

[Bmacattack]

Wondering if you guys can help. I've bought two soldier story bodies and the hips are too wide for the Marmit waist armor. The only way that I can get the body into it is to pop the legs off first but obviously that wont work with the bodysuit (tried it. split every seam.). They are an s2 and an s2.5 according to the descriptions when I bought them. Am I doing something wrong?
