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

[Centrocal]

What are the differences between the speeder bikes, besides the color?

I've gathered the first lot of items I'll need to build my Endor diorama for Scout and speeder. Now I've laid it all out, I think I need more materials.
I've got plenty of time to make this perfect.

This is a really cool idea SFT... looking forward to seeing how it turns out! ️

Thanks very much! I'm going to take my time with it. No rush. Plan it out properly. I'll post pics when its all done.

Sideshow ROTJ Speeder Bike and Mandalorian Speeder Bike
I’m sure the new hot toy version of ROTJ Speeder Bike will greatly improve over the Sideshow one.
For me I’m happy with SS one and think you get more out of Mando Speeder (Bag and Grogu) then The new HT version (Rifle)

So the new HT speeder looks slightly larger than the SS one?

Unfortunately the opposite is true. The Sideshow is slightly larger than the HT.

Can you post the comparison from the side and top views? It's a little hard to judge the size difference from those angles.

You have both, right? I thought they were pretty similar in size but didn't do any measurements. Also, sorry about Norm!

No it just the back thruster flaps extends outward more then SS one

Here hope it helps

That's great but can you also post a pic taken from above looking down at the two bikes close together and lined up? That will probably show the length and width differences really accurately.

they seem pretty similar in size so far.

That's great - interesting that they seem around the same length but the widths are quite different in places. The HT body seems much wider where the handlbars are, and the front forks closer together on the HT vs the SSC.

 

[Mr Walker]

Thanks for that. Looks to be smaller by only a millimeter or two.

A worthy upgrade from the SS bike? In your opinion? Also, does the trooper sit on him well? On the SS bike it's hard to get a trooper to sit without having the handlebars bent outwards.

Yeah most 1/6 figures can sit pretty well on SS Bike but still have to be careful with the handle and the foots pedal.
If you looking for a ROTJ i suggest you wait for HT version but if you can get a good deal on the SS Bike it still hold up

Yeah the handles is smaller on SS and Control panel is different too.

Life has been sucking the last couple months, so I ordered this lol

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Had a $20 coupon from a previous order that this worked on, so I ordered just the figure. Blew the last of my points on it.

It was a hard decision since I have the original Sideshow one. But in my experience the HT version is pretty much always better, even if it might not seem that way at first. And since I had points and the coupon, I figured why not upgrade. Now I have to sell my old Sideshow version.
