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

[MyenShi]

I like the white Z-6 but it's nice to see it in classic brown again.

I feel depictions of the OT Scout often omit the butt flap™ entirely. So I think it's understandable that the figure doesn't have the suede ROTJ flap despite making it inaccurate to the film. Most people would probably never have noticed. It's odd they made them look like pockets instead of just leaving out the detail entirely, though.

This is another instance where the figure is released under a certain film despite not being super accurate to it. With the DLT-19X, this seems like it was almost going to be another VGM Battlefront 2 release like the Snowtrooper but they just labeled it ROTJ.

There's a lot of details that could be picked apart but at the end of the day, it's still a very good looking 1:6 Scout that feels OT so I'm happy with it. There are other collectibles out there to chase total screen accuracy with. I just want a cool Scout Trooper figure.

Nice to see Terry doing some hands on with SSC again, they need to do that more in the future.

I had the impression from the proto that the armour would be more shiny. Looks the same as the Mando?

Looks like he just got out of the pool with that tiny grenade of his.

My concern is that none of the photos/videos have the trooper hunched forward enough in that iconic motorbike position. I managed to get it pretty good with the Sideshow combo (without modification), so I'm surprised the HT haven't been able to get that as well?

Im wondering if the mandalorian version has an edge over this in torso articulation because of the different design. I too noticed in the blogger pictures that he wasnt articulated in extreme position on the speeder

I agree.with this statement.
I love his posing videos,always have.

It makes more sense than having the master give his padawan instructions remotely, and the padawan often looking like they're going to break something!

I think they changed the format so they could make it more of an interactive chat, but I preferred it when Terry was just doing his own thing with the figure in hand.

All this really makes me thing to keep the Sideshow Scout trooper as well (though I might sell his bike). Also because of the "salad boots" Hot Toys Scout have, which can be quite fragile over time, while Sideshow ones are big chunks of solid plastic, and still look nice. Decisions, decisions

And now a few inspirational studio scale Biker Scout pics:

God, I love the stuff ILM did back in the day. Absolute wizards. Thanks for posting these
Just noticed the displayed "Luke on Speeder" has the top fins on backwards...oooops.

Those shots are awesome. I can’t believe we have seen any reviews yet. I feel like reviews of Gideon and anakin went up right away.

[Hando]

Yes!! This guy always comes through

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Caved and ordered.

Should be here in a few days.

Finally. I scanned it quickly because I won’t have time to really watch it until later. Looks good to me, it’s not the prototype, but good enough. It’s funny, I skip most of these videos because I don’t need to see the box or 20 minutes on accessories and articulation. Much like my vaunted love making skills, I finish these videos in a few minutes.

Outside of the bucket gap, this looks like a solid release. Also, I know it's only a video, but the bike looks to be well-built compared to the SS one.

Ordered the trooper without the speeder. Arriving Monday hopefully. It’ll go with my Mando scout trooper so I’ll see if there are many differences. Tbh I wouldn’t have bought it if it didn’t come with the rifle.

 

[Hask]

Where as I would never display it with the rifle as it was never used in ROTJ.

Agreed on that. In fact I’ll happily sell the rifle if anyone wants it.
