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

[Sixth Scale Man]

You do realize that if they cook a Stormtrooper in his armor it will be nice and steamed. Yubnub tasty

Stormtrooper Thermidore. Delicious!

 

[jaztermareal]

they mentioned they don't ages ago when I messaged them,but they said not to give up hope.

Perhaps they could try for kotor license at least

Arrived today. I plan on making a few upgrades. The helmet scuplt is exactly the same as the Mando version. I have included a pic of the SS one with them as you can see its slightly bigger and but does have the correct grey on the snout greeblie.

Not exactly the same
The rotj has a more rounded “visor” than the squared off mando

Mine is not.

 

[sithocan]

Mine is not.

No. Yours too. Did you check your photos?

 

[Hask]

I just checked the helmet and I stand corrected they did change the visor. However that just annoys me more that they knew the mando lid was not correct and instead of giving us a full ROTJ they made a half assed effort.

 

[sithocan]

I totally agree with that. They produced new visor, new chest armor, even new knee armor (they could've simply reversed the Mando version), but when it came to helmet, they used the faulty Mando design -except the visor-. Total joke.

They even sculpted vents on the tank.

Covered the gaps on the shoulder bridges, removed the crappy flaps and added a one piece.

Is the helmet gap moddable?

Possibly and I build full size armour but im not sure I would attempt it, one way would be to fill the gap sand and paint.

That's what I was thinking. Just as long as you leave the line for where it flips up. I'm sure someone will try it. Being that it's such a small space, I want to see someone else pull it off before I try.

You're other improvements look great.

The paint match would be the hardest part.

Or use this.....

 

[slynger]

The paint match would be the hardest part.

Very true. But if you mixed in some weathering you could hide a bit of that. Plus, being that the helmet flips up there it makes sense that it would be dirty because the scouts would always be grabbing right around that area.

 

[Hask]

That had crossed my mind but it would look too obvious.

 

[TaliBane]

This fig seems to have gotten a pretty salty reception. And not a lot of in-hand pics.

Where its right it is good.

I love mine, I’m not a hardcore fan tho. It’s far meaner looking than the mando version and he looks well weathered for the rotj environment.
I personally love it.
Wonder if they made less of these given the glut of Mando speeder bike sets and single mando troopers that are still up for sale prices at most retailers…
