1/6 Hot Toy - MMS612 - Episode VI - ROTJ: Scout Trooper and Speeder Bike

[Hologram AI]

I just checked, and the HT is actually a little longer. The Sideshow bike was 50 cm... the HT bike is a little longer at 52.5 cm. That puts both around 20 inches long.

Both should be 22 inches if the 11 foot 1/1 length is correct.

Ah okay. I recall someone saying that the Mando one for the bike was actually shorter than their Sideshows version that they had in hand. Surprised if they made this one longer? Who knows with this company.

Looks good single for me. Curious if Mandolorian owners are interested?

Well, the Mando claims to have the same measurements as this ROTJ bike, so either the Sideshow came out longer or HT is wrong.

Single for me too.

The ROTJ was always going to be the prime version. So full of nostalgia.

The Mando version is excellent in his own right, as his own character.

Gonna get two... it's how my brain works...

 

[wantanin]

It looks amazing but I like better the SS sniper rifle

 

[sithocan]

Why this version is much more expansive than the Mando counterpart ?

Demand.

The single is $10 more than the Mando version, but comes with a rifle.

The Bike set is $50 more than the Mando version, without Grogu and the bag. So is that a $40 OT tax? lol

 

[user 71794]

$50 Hype tax. The hype is strong with this one.

Yeah..not a huge fan of this huge price increase.

Let me re-phrase "Sideshow $50 hype tax". I wouldn't be surprised if the Secret Base price is the same.

Anyway looks great. I think I'll just get a single trooper to go with my SS set. I'm fine with it, plus selling now probably won't get a decent price anyway.

They do need to get their translation improved though

That's Google's translation of the BBICN forum.

They always seem to get the specs at the same time as the promo images, whereas the HT Facebook posts omit them.

 

[DarkChocobi]

boomers are obviously old and have more dispensable income, from now on lets charge their OT beloved dolls 20-30% more specifically.

 

[user 71794]

It was probably Google translate from the original Chinese text. Proper translation adds another $25 to the listing.

Ah OK. Still it made me think what they call it in China to get that translation.

Was a surprise to wake up to this though. I guess these now random OT figures will be fit in between Mando and all the other new stuff.

Sometimes the translations appear to be quite nonsensical.

For example, the company, 'Alert Line' always translates as 'Boundary Line'.

I wonder, is the rifle this one comes with the same blaster as the one we see in the Snowtrooper two-pack? Or Sideshow's version of BFII sniper rifle?

 

[Chainedstream]

Nevermind, it's one of the rifles from the new Battlefront II game! Looks great!
