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

[Wor-Gar]

He looks heroic.

 

[endor1]

Taller than Luke yeah, but he makes the Clone look short too.... surprising.

 

[user 72759]

That clone is accurate TM height

 

[endor1]

Good point

He is way too tall.

Compared to luke he looks about right to me. Wasnt Hamill 5'8 then? That clone trooper is too short.

That is one tiny clone. You'll need to change up your display.

 

[MyenShi]

Does the extra height make it easier to get the hunkered down pose on the speeder bike?

Only reason I could think of for them to change it out if they weren’t satisfied with how the Remnant Scout looked on the bike.

Hopefully it doesn’t mean future troopers will be in this body because that would feel like unnecessary scale creep.

 

[sithocan]

An imperial trooper should be taller than Luke. After all, he's too short for a stormtrooper.

I’m not displaying them together. I was just doing a comparison for height. That really is a short clone. Wow

I have so many fond memories as a kid with the old 1980s Kenner version of this guy and the bike.
I could care less about the helmet gap. This thing is perfect.

That is a really nice photo

 

[Dave_W]

Looks like his height is all in the torso and extended chest.

Here's a comp of Scout vs Stormy I slapped together...

HT and their awful bodies! Wide hips, narrow rib cage on the left. Short torso, round shoulders on the right.

 

[endor1]

Had the chance to try out the articulation, and yeah the padded under suit is restrictive particularly in the shoulders as I remember @irezumi mentioned. They tend to spring back into place when moving the arms forward.

Futzing with the suit to gain some slack in the arms helps a bit, but still fairly tight without some under suit modding. The Remnant Scout's aren't as bulked up in the shoulder area.

Regardless of this, it's a great Trooper and I can't wait to add the Bike set soon! Thanks for sharing the great pics everyone!

That's a great pose!

That's a great pose!

Thanks irezumi! Cheers!

I would love to see photos of the helmet mod and the end results, mainly to judge if it is something I could do myself.

I looked at the helmet modification idea and the thing that puts me off is the dome/forehead above the visor increases and looks off if you push it backwards.
It's hard for me to describe what I'm trying to say is if you trim the part that's holding it out from sitting flush, then the visor will have to lower to meet the back of the helmet.

 

[jkno]

How tall is the Scout if you put it on Speederbike, in cm if possible please. Thanks.

I see what you mean. But that's far less apparent than the gap on the sides. After all it's a trade off.

Thanks. I hope someone who has done it will post some photos on here for us to look at. The Scout Trooper is my favourite Trooper, wish Hot Toys had put that little bit of extra care into this figure. Considering the cost they really should put 100% into every figure.
