Hot Toys Death Star Trooper

[FlyAndFight]

The original console made for a better looking display BUT if this one can be separated into, say, two or three different consoles, that would be pretty cool.

Any photos of this that look like they weren't taken on a Nokia 7650?

Need that really wide looking helmet... not this puny mushroom.

Can’t believe it’s been 7 years

 

[Wor-Gar]

And only moderate improvement on the figure.

Sometimes, less is more HT. FFS! Talk about over compensating, there's a console for every year this wasn't released.

Those security cameras are a really nice touch though (only just noticed them), but yeah 1-2 consoles is more than enough.

Holy shoot, I didn't even notice those.

Yeah the same here. I looked at that picture about 20 times before noticing.

Dammit, now I need disguise Han and Luke to shoot at them.

The new one looks too big, and pointless unless you were recreating the detention block.

I'd rather just have the figure without the diorama, because it's one of the most nostalgic memories of that era (just as the Biker Scout is one of my most nostalgic memories of ROTJ).


With the Navy helmet from the Wicket set I put together a cheap pseudo Death Squad Commander from the parts I had, which helped to fill a void.

I thought you were joking with "seven years ago", and had to check when this thread began.

Can't believe that was seven years ago.

How does he even get into the console ? I'm sure people would have been happy with just the original one with 3 or 4 banks. Now it'll so much more expensive !

I have no idea where I'm going to display him. I don't have room for that monstrosity of a diorama.
Perhaps he'll come with a separate standard base?
A standard version and a deluxe version with the consoles?
Collectors have been asking for this guy for a long time but how many will buy him if he's so expensive because of the giant diorama?

The flight stand serves a dual purpose.

The detention block only had a series of five consoles:

Don't understand why they caged him in the middle of eight of them.

I expect there'll be a basic version like the Scout Trooper without his bike.

My interest is primarily in figures rather than dioramas or vehicles, but I might go for the diorama option if it was like the smaller one they showed seven years ago.

Can we expect V 2.0 of the ANH figures released in 2013? Though if this does get released Stormtrooper Han and Luke with Chewie would be the ones you'd want alongside it.
