The Spacetrooper represents Star Wars in a nutshell: colossal scale.

One of the single best shots of the entire saga. Screams STAR WARS!!!!
 
My Spacetrooper arrived today and I love this guy. This is a fantastic variant and I'm seriously considering a second. The only complaint I have is my stand is really loose. It doesn't snap in like the other stands.

I think I remember someone saying their ankles were looser on this figure than their regular Stormtrooper? Mine are as tight as the regular versions. Did someone also say their side flaps were stiffer too? Mine are the same as my regular troopers.

Anyway, pics.

The bubble lens turned out great.

I didn't want to display him alone so I broke out the single trooper I still had boxed (he's for Vader).

Ankles are a bit looser than regular stormies but nothing that prevent him to be posed stand free

Only thing that really bothers me on that HT storm design is the gap at the ankle between shim armor and boot.

Think I'm gonna have to cut those jet exhausts off. It isn't a jet pack.

I'm scheduled to get it day before Thanksgiving so there might not be anybody home to sign for it. :(
 
I kinda want to get one of these to make a custom Battlefront Trooper.

Thinking the same thing. can use the black pauldron on the shadow trooper. Got one of those as well cause of battlefront.

After thinking it over I really am leaning toward sending mine back. There's just so much great stuff coming and to ME the most iconic line-up of SW figures anyone could ever have is this group:

That first wave of 1979 large scale figures has just been imprinted on my soul ever since they were released and now with Sideshow and Hot Toys we can have them represented in truly kickass form. Not sure a Spacetrooper really fits in with them.


Aw ****, that's how awesome he looks between the two regular Stormies? Hmmm.
 
Great pics, guys!!!

As to the ankle club, my trooper's right ankle is stiff as a board, his left ankle is loose. But if you shove the shin armor all the way down over the foot it holds tight.

Plenty of folks are itching for a second one on here. Just a thought, as opposed to sending it back.

Hmm, good thought there. Then someone would have a pair and I wouldn't eat shipping on the return. Thanks.

Why would anyone want a second one? :dunno

So one figure could point and the other could go "oh I see the giant space freighter now, thanks." ;)
 
...and that pointy finger hand is going to a Stormtrooper....
 
For those that have both the standard and space trooper, is there a difference in the armor color? The standard trooper appears to be a warmer white.
Cheers
