Not on their production figure they didn't. No offense to the hard-working modellers at Hasbro.

(To be absolutely fair, some production examples look far worse than others so it's a little random. No offense to the dedicated team at Hasbro.)

Yeah Ive seen some worse ones but I've also seen some production figs that in some ways look better than the prototype (this is from fan youtube in-hand review from a week ago.)
As I said, obviously accounting for 6" vs 12" scale capabilities, this Hasbro sculpt to me looks more accurate than the HT effort for a RO style helmet.

The irregularities introduced by low-cost mass production give their R1 bucket more of an OT vibe.

Just as their OT version had - to me at least - a bit of a RO vibe.

Got a few of these in, the weathering looks like they sweated through their armor. It?s just weird to see the exact same weathering pattern printed on every figure. (Lazy HT)
But......the great part is they make damn sweet Mimban Troopers. Head cast will be done tomorrow.

I?m not sure it would be doable - when the weathering is this prominent - making every single trooper differently weathered. How many customers would be unsatisfied that their version didn?t look like or as good as some other customers version?
And the yellow ?sweat? thing... isn?t that pretty much accurate to the show? Not sure how I feel yet as I haven?t received mine yet... if I?m not satisfied I?ll turn mine into a Mimban trooper as well.

I appreciate the comment. For me, I buy multiples of every trooper and they look goofy displayed together with the exact same weathering.
To be fair, where it is printed the same on every one is just not that great. The sweat comment could interchange urine for the color they chose, a rust or burnt umber would have been a better color choice.
One other knock is the neckpost is so tall, it looks like a bobble head. I had to change out the necks to make them not look bad.

Nice HokieTwo. My eye always goes directly to their left shoulder armor. If I was doing multiples of these that?d be the first to remove to make it a different trooper. Kinda like how every Sandtrooper has that same chest weathering.
I?ve got one for a possible Mimban Trooper or may swap the helmet for one of my ANH Stunt Buckets to look more like the show. Decisions...

Yeah the yellowing really does look more like sweat stains than dirt and grime or rust.

Seeing those screen caps really makes me wish HT would?ve done the shape of the lenses better on these troopers. I guess it could be modded to look more accurate

The Mimban TK is straight forward to mod and it looks great with the mudtrooper. If you have the Han mud skull it’s a nice shelf to pull together.
Like a Star Wars WWII montage.

Yes indeed. I have a few Mudtroopers I?ve been customizing, an officer, and also have a custom Mimban Trooper in the works - not sure if I need a second. Gonna be my favorite multiple trooper display to work on next to Krennic and his Death Trooper squad.

Exactly, a bit of random swapping of pieces wouldn't have been hard. Considering they use sponge applicators for the weathering it also wouldn't have been hard to change them up a bit, say every hour on their production shift or something. Anyway it is what it is.
There will be complaints no matter which way they went.

Anyone selling the Mimban heads and capes?

Got the lid on, looks pretty good I think but still need to lighten the armor with some white brushing.
