So often I only notice things after I post the photos. Such as the lopsided strap, which I've now adjusted.
I have a vague memory of some old, probably non canon lore now, that Vaders "Death Squad" referred to a small fleet/squadron of Star Destroyers under his command.I want them to make a 'Death Squad Commander', which they'd no doubt have to rename 'Death Star Commander' along the lines of Kenner's 'Star Destroyer Commander'. Their original non-PC name was always a source of grim fascination.
Visually, I think they look more interesting in grey. It differentiates them from Praji, the TIE Pilot, Death Star Gunner, and even Vader.
I dug out an old photo of my very cheap kitbash interpretation, made from spare parts, and posted it here last month. Since I've been upgrading my photo collection with the new camera I gave him the treatment too.

(I think he might've accidentally dropped his helmet down the trash compactor chute!)

Wonder if that's where the old "Death Squad Commander" title came from?
Thanks Asta, that's interesting.I used to associate the Kenner name with the guards who escorted Leia, but they were wearing black.
Looking for photos of the ones in grey I only found the guy sitting at the console, which doesn't associate at all with a 'Death Squad'.
I think the Kenner name must've been triggering even in contemporary times due to the death squads in Central and South America, according to the Wiki page.
I'm 100% confident this will get a PO in the next month or so.
99,99% chance within this year, under the banner of ROTJ's celebration.With the dew back and sandtrooper fibally being released and this DS trooper teased again, a good chance this finally gets made?
Now we’re secured! One more to go (+99)…More hope for this now that Dewback dropped...
Sabine…Surely this guy will be NEXT weeks release if im following Hot Toys MO of Star wars POs of late...lolololol.

For a minute there, I thought that you meant that you need at least 4 of the girls...This figure is like the girl you had a crush on that pops up from time to time, but you never get anywhere with. A constant tease. Also, I need at least 4. I love imperial troops.
